Hey, my name is Josephine but most people call me Josie! I am so excited to serve as the 2025 president of Alpha Omega Epsilon here at UW-Madison. I am a junior working towards my B.S. in Landscape and Urban Studies with a certificate in architecture. If you’re looking for me outside of A.O.E. you’re more than likely to find me working out at the Nick, which is way better than the Bakke btw, or cheffing it up at Union South kiosks. I also love to read and try new things.

Prior to joining A.O.E. my sophomore year, I heard a lot of stigma surrounding Greek life. Going into my freshman year I had never even thought about joining a sorority. Throughout my freshman year I had made many friends who were involved with Greek life. I saw the positive impacts it had on them. Going into my sophomore year I decided to go through the formal Pha recruitment process and reach out to A.O.E. about joining. I quickly realized that something just clicked with the A.O.E. sisters.

Joining Alpha Omega Epsilon has truly been the best decision I have made during my college career. The skills and connections that A.O.E. has facilitated has been invaluable. I have met my best friends, classmates, and future colleagues. I have gained skills that will carry me throughout my life. In this sorority, our values of leadership, friendship, and professionalism can be seen through every aspect of what we do.

No matter your race, gender, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status there’s a place for you in STEM and in A.O.E. Alpha Omega Epsilon’s values of friendship, leadership, and professionalism guide the opportunities we offer. There are a wide range of events from internship panels to ice cream socials. Furthermore, there are a variety of leadership positions and professional events to prepare members for a successful future in all that they do.

If you’re curious about learning more about us don’t hesitate to reach out! 

We can’t wait to meet you! In friendship, leadership, and professionalism,

Josephine Snyder

President, Omicron Chapter of Alpha Omega Epsilon
