P.E.O. Sisterhood. Chapter AI (University of North Dakota)
P.E.O. Sisterhood was founded January 21, 1869 at Iowa Wesleyan University, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. Seven women who attended the University met and organized P.E.O. as a philanthropic educational society. Today, the organization has numerous chapters throughout the United States. The local Chapter AI was organized April 22, 1952 by Lou Reading Gardner. Chapter AI holds meetings on the first and third Mondays of each month and members conduct their lives by the qualities of purity, justice, faith, truth, and love. P.E.O. is a sisterhood active in charity, education, and the strengthening of future generations. Funds are raised, partly by dues, for numerous scholarships, loan programs, local charitable needs, and the support of Cottey College in Missouri.
