Becoming a member of the greek community is a huge step in your collegiate career. But if you ask any of our sisters, being an AXiD has changed our lives in a way that we never thought possible. Sisterhood This is the most important aspect to Alpha Xi Delta. Sisterhood is what keeps us together, and there is nothing that could ever replace the companionship we feel with our sisters. Academics Academics are very important to Alpha Xi Delta. Our open motto is "the pen is mightier than the sword," exempliflying our strive to become more educated. For the second semester in a row, Alpha Xi Delta's have held an average GPA above that of the all Greek average, all Greek Female average, AND all ODU Female average. The GPA requirement to be initiated into Alpha Xi Delta is a 2.5 which is higher than most sororities which only require a 2.3 Leadership Being a member of a group like this offers a great chance to show your leadership potential. There are many positions of leadership within the chapter. Not only our executive board, but also other committee positions. This is a great way to become comfortable in planning events, working with other organizations, and organizing your peers. Also, leadership opportunities, such as this, look great on job applications. Community Service This is another aspect of our sorority that is very important to us. Our philanthropy is Choose Children and we do various events throughout the community that focus on helping children in need. We volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House, CHKD, FOR Kids, and many others. Becoming a member of Alpha Xi Delta is a great way to get involved in these organizations and help change a child's life forever.
