Bid Day...

Two years ago I made a decision that would forever impact my life. This wasn't a decision that I thought I would ever make. However, it was a decision that I will never regret. Everything in life has it's ups and down. We all have hard times. However, I have one thing that helps to keep me going... my sisters.

Two years ago I chose to become an Alpha Xi Delta... well I think Alpha Xi Delta chose me. When I wrote down Alpha Xi Delta, and solely Alpha Xi Delta, on my preference card I could not have foreseen the doors that were about to open for me or the friendships that were about to be given to me.

Sisterhood isn't always lollipops and rainbows. But, those tough times are what make our bonds of sisterhood even stronger. I owe so much to Alpha Xi Delta and the sisters that I have been blessed with. My colligate experience wouldn't even be half the experience it has been without Alpha Xi Delta. My sisters make me so proud. They are all so accomplished and wonderful in their own ways. I have sisters to cry with. I have sisters who listen to my problems. I have sisters who motivate me to be a better me and then I have sisters who always know how to make me smile.

My sisters accept me... my anger, my tears, my happiness, my goofiness. I wish I could explain in words the pride I feel when I stand in a room with all my sisters and see what we have accomplished and overcome.

Alpha Xi Delta is a part of me. It's not something that can be scrubbed off, ripped away or left to vanish. I will be an Alpha Xi Delta for the rest of my life. For everything Alpha Xi Delta has done for me in the past two year, even a lifetime of service to Alpha Xi Delta wouldn't be enough to pay back everything I've been given.

I don't know if I have ever been a part of an organization that has allowed me to grow so much personally. As we welcome home our new sisters tomorrow I can only hope that they will have the same experience I have had.  I look forward to watching my sisters grow and realize their potential. I can't wait to have the women build relationships like the ones I've made these past years.

Our sisterhood isn't something that you can understand if you're not apart of it and it's something I'll never forget. To my sisters across the country and to Alpha Xi Delta I can't thank you enough for everything you've given me. To the women who will be joining our sisterhood tomorrow...

Welcome home.

Fall Recruitment

The Delta Tau chapter is back into the swing of things for the fall 2011 semester. This week and last week have been incredibly exciting, as formal recruitment has begun and we are DAYS always from having new Alpha Xi Delta sisters. The turnout for formal recruitment has been one of the best in years. The women we have been meeting are outstanding women with so many of the qualities we look for in our sisters.

            Formal recruitment began with Philanthropy night last Tuesday. There is nothing I love more than being able to spread awareness and talk about Autism Speaks. Our next recruitment event was held on Friday night and our final recruitment event was held Monday night. Tomorrow we will be hosting our preference ceremony and then BID DAY is Friday. Our chapter is beyond excited to celebrate all the women who will be joining our sisterhood.

Xi Love,

The sisters of the Delta Tau chapter of Alpha Xi Delta
