Parents & Families

Welcome, Parents and Families! We are incredibly fortunate to have your daughters as part of the Iota Chapter of Alpha Xi Delta. Each sister brings something unique to our community, and their contributions continue to shape and strengthen our chapter in meaningful ways. Every year, our Communications Team thoughtfully plans events that allow families to connect with our chapter and experience the sisterhood firsthand. Most recently, we hosted an unforgettable Parents Weekend featuring a house tour and a celebratory brunch. During the brunch, we proudly introduced Alpha Xi Delta’s Golden Hour of Giving—a heartfelt initiative that holds special meaning for all of us. As part of the weekend, we organized a basket raffle, with all proceeds benefiting our local philanthropy: Children’s Home Society of West Virginia. Thanks to your generosity and support, the event was a resounding success and a true reflection of the values we hold dear.We’re excited to continue growing Parents Weekend in the years ahead, creating even more opportunities for connection, celebration, and impact. Thank you for being part of our journey!

Dear Alpha Xi Delta Family,

Welcome to Alpha Xi Delta! Your loved one has found a home in an organization that has been inspiring women to realize their potential since 1893. We look forward to playing a strong and positive role in your student's college life and beyond, and we hope that you will be an involved and supportive part of this experience.

The concepts to which our founding members dedicated themselves when Alpha Xi Delta was founded in 1893 - a broad, purposeful education; high moral character; selfless service to others; and, most importantly, deep and abiding friendship - still hold true today and are, in fact, the cornerstone of our chapter programming.

During your loved one's college years in Alpha Xi Delta, she will make friends to support and motivate her, and she will find guidance in the Alpha Xi Delta alumnae who advise her chapter and serve her house corporation board. She will be mentored by Sisters who emphasize the importance of academics and sound study habits, who model interpersonal cooperation in the face of differing viewpoints and who believe that community service is inherent to being a good citizen. Through active chapter involvement, she will have the opportunity to develop life skills, leadership and organizational management skills, self-awareness, esteem and confidence. And she will be surrounded by others who support her through her challenges and celebrate with her when she meets them. In short, Alpha Xi Delta will serve as her home away from home during college, and we hope she enjoys every minute!
