MAOTeen is known for its accomplished alumni. MAOTeen alumni are thought leaders, business leaders, and world leaders.

We are excited to recognize MAOTeen Sorority Members and share their stories with the world.”

If you are not yet a member of the MAOTeen Sorority and would like to be considered for the Distinguished Alumni Award, we encourage you to join today.


The MAOTeen Sorority’s mission is to enrich your alumni experience and help you foster beneficial relationships in the MAOTeen community. The Sorority’s story began about 10 years after the start of the Organization itself, when, in August of 2005, alumni proposed that we draw up a plan that would allow them to give back and stay in touch with the members of the sisterhood they created.


The spirit of giving, which has come to characterize MAOTeen alumni, was also born early on in our history. As a representative of the Sorority wrote, “the Sorority has work to perform: to share our love of the program and ensure that future generations have the same opportunities to excel that we had because of MAOTeen. This can only be done by joining with one another in a united effort to give back and celebrate.”


Today, the MAOTeen Sorority continues to foster opportunities for alumni and their fellow sisters by enhancing your ability to connect; remain a vital part of our Organization’s exceptionally engaged community; and facilitate opportunities to live the MAOTeen vision wherever you live.


We invite you to become an active participant in the future of your Sorority and the MAOTeen community. Get involved today and join the MAOTeen Sorority by clicking here.
