So the company is formed. The idea to fill the void of cool Black Greek Letter Organization (BGLO) paraphernalia has been circulating amongst us. Our pre-release products are getting great reviews from our surveys and our first two events (Howard & A&T’s homecomings) are on the horizon. At this point we are feeling confident that people will appreciate our product, but still we feel there is more that need to be done.

As we continue to brainstorm for the future and prepare for the pre-release events a common them seems to continuously arise in our conversations amongst ourselves. Maybe its was the BGLO heritage that the majority of the group shares or maybe it was the altruistic character traits passed from our parents. Regardless of the source each of us realized that in AOI, we had an opportunity to impact other people’s lives in a positive way. The tagline “Power Your Imagination” was beginning to shape the way AOI was perceived by the co-owners as well as our supporters.
