Through membership in Alpha Xi Delta, Sisters are inspired to realize their potential through the ideals our Founders instilled in our Fraternity: Sisterhood, leadership, knowledge, and service to our communities.

As a founding member of Alpha Xi Delta, members can expect all the same benefits and experiences as any other sorority on NC State's campus, but you'll have a few added bonuses like the potential to hold a chapter leadership position right away, laying the groundwork for the future of Alpha Xi Delta at NC State, participating in a special Installation ceremony with our National President and much more. There are several officer positions available that will inspire you to realize your potential. Chapter officers will be able to attend leadership conferences and have one-on-one training with Alpha Xi Delta volunteers and staff so that they are able to grow their leadership skills and build a strong foundation for Alpha Xi Delta at NC State.

There will be many opportunities for planned social and Sisterhood events! Through shared social experiences, support, and encouragement, our Sisterhood will be the foundation of your lifelong friendships. Alpha Xi Delta has many programs that help our members to be the best version of themselves. Through academic support, risk management education, and personal development programming, just to name a few, members are inspired to realize their potential. Additionally, the Alpha Xi Delta Foundation annually provides hundreds of scholarships to Sisters across the country.

Alpha Xi Delta’s philanthropy is The Kindly Hearts Initiative which serves as the umbrella to our philanthropic focus on supporting children experiencing foster care or homelessness. Alpha Xi Delta chapters and associations will have the opportunity to support key impact organizations making a national or regional difference under the umbrella of our focus as well as the option to collaborate with local impact organizations that support children experiencing foster care or homelessness. Alpha Xi Delta believes that all children deserve access to love, support, and basic needs that lay a strong foundation for life. Children and youth experiencing foster care or homelessness do not always have access to the foundational needs or support that will set them up to realize their potential. Alpha Xi Delta is dedicated to supporting organizations that bring about more access to these needs and supports in our local communities and across the country. Over 400,000 children are currently placed in foster care and every year an estimated 4.2 million youth experience homelessness.

Alpha Xi Delta members across the country are called to action by our vision, and you can be too. Your Sisters will welcome you, support you and encourage you to be your best in every way. When you join Alpha Xi Delta, you join a network of more than 162,000 Sisters, who serve as sources of inspiration, push you to become leaders and achieve your goals and become lifelong friends.
