About Us

Alpha Xi Delta has been empowering women since 1893, fostering a legacy of sisterhood, leadership, and service. At NC State, our chapter continues this tradition by creating a supportive environment where members grow personally and academically.

Sisterhood is at the heart of our experience. Whether we’re hosting movie nights, retreats, or study sessions, our events build deep connections and lasting friendships that go beyond college. Our philanthropy centers around the Kindly Hearts Initiative, supporting children in foster care and youth experiencing homelessness. Locally, we work with the Children’s Home Society of Raleigh through hands-on service and fundraising efforts that make a real impact. Leadership is also a core focus—members are encouraged to take on roles that challenge and inspire them. From executive positions to committee work, we help each other grow into confident, capable leaders.

Joining Alpha Xi Delta means joining something bigger than yourself—a place to be authentic, supported, and empowered to make a difference. We’re proud of our history and excited for the future we’re building together.

In 1893, ten young women at Lombard College in Galesburg, Illinois, shared a vision and a dream of a national organization dedicated to the personal growth of women. Their dream became Alpha Xi Delta, one of the oldest women’s fraternities in the United States.

The timeless ideals envisioned by Alpha Xi Delta’s Founders remain constant throughout the years, inspiring pride in each member to pursue individual excellence. Now a national fraternity with more than 171,000 initiated members, our Fraternity is a progressive organization with college chapters and alumnae associations throughout the United States.

Alpha Xi Delta is proud of its history and lasting impact on its members and the Panhellenic community. In fact, Alpha Xi Delta’s first National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) Chairman wrote the Panhellenic Creed, which all members of NPC still recite on college campuses today.

Alpha Xi Delta’s Founders left us a great legacy. They taught us the value of education because it frees us to achieve our goals and gives us the power to be whatever we choose. They taught us to support one another through shared experiences and understanding. They taught us to serve others and reach out to better the lives of those less fortunate. Because of them, Alpha Xi Delta continues to inspire countless bold and talented women to realize their potential.
