OAR Young Alumnae Society

For Alumnae Initiated Within the Last 13 Years

Just 13 years old when she arrived at Wesleyan, Octavia Andrew was the youngest of our Founders. In her memory, we invite alumnae who were initiated within the last 13 years to join the Octavia Andrew Rush Society with a commitment of $18.51 or more per month to the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation’s Annual Fund (our area of greatest need) in support of our sisters.

To count towards our Day of Giving totals, you can join the OAR Young Alumnae Society in one of two ways:

Make your full annual gift of $222.12 or more.
OR set up a recurring gift of $18.51 or more on this Day of Giving site - be sure to select OAR Society or Greatest Need in your Area of Focus. Your first installment will be processed today, and installments will continue on the 15th/16th of each month going forward.
