How do I
become a member?
Because Alpha
Xi Delta is a member of the National Panhellenic
Conference, we recruit new members under their guidelines. The most common way
to become a member of Alpha Xi Delta is to participate in the formal
recruitment (rush) process. Contact your campus Panhellenic
Council or Greek Office on the dates of formal recruitment.
If a chapter
has vacancies in its membership total at the end of formal recruitment, Alpha
Xi Delta also offers potential members the chance to go through an alternate
recruitment process called Continuous Open Bidding. The COB process is a
great way for you to get to know Alpha Xi Deltas on your campus in a more
casual setting. COB usually occurs after formal recruitment is over or during
semesters when formal recruitment is not held. For more information about Alpha
Xi Delta's COB activities on your campus, contact your local Alpha Xi Delta
chapter or email us at fhq@alphaxidelta.org.
Academic
Achievement
When our
founders were searching for a symbol to represent our great Fraternity over 100
years ago, they looked to the time honored maxim "the pen is mightier than
the sword" as their inspiration. The Quill of Alpha Xi Delta was chosen to
represent the emphasis that Alpha Xi Delta's everywhere place on academics.
To become a
member of Alpha Xi Delta, you must have a minimum 2.5 cumulative college GPA or
2.75 high school GPA. Once you are a member, our
chapters have a myriad of programs to help you succeed in the classroom. Each
chapter has developed a complete academic achievement program that is tailored
to suit the needs of that individual chapter. With the assistance of our
National Academic Achievement Chair and advisors, chapters have been innovative
and creative in their programming. Some tools that chapters use include: test
files, study buddies, tutoring programs, incentives for class attendance, and
other recognition for good grades. Many chapters have an awards ceremony at the
end of the academic year to honor those members who have excelled academically.
In addition, the Alpha Xi Delta Foundation offers thousands of
dollars in scholarships for collegiate members. These scholarships are offered
to initiated freshmen through seniors, in a wide
variety of courses of study. Scholarships are also often available through a
chapter's local alumnae association or corporation board.
