Our award winning New Member Orientation Program is the first step of membership in Alpha Xi Delta. In keeping with our belief that new member education is the initial influence in the development of responsible, contributing members, the New Member Orientation Program is a time for new members to become absorbed into chapter life while learning about the responsibilities of membership: upholding Alpha Xi Delta ideals and standards, meeting financial obligations, achieving academic success, and participating in chapter activities.

The Academic Achievement Program of Alpha Xi Delta supports the philosophy that education is the process of learning from all of life’s experiences, and includes (but is not limited to) learning associated with the formal academic setting. The objective of the program is to enable each chapter to encourage and aid its members in achieving academic success, in realizing their scholastic goals, and in fulfilling their personal potential. The Theta Upsilon chapter utilizes campus resources and staff to amplify our academics - especially workshops from our academic adviser, Tysa Egleton.

Realize Your Potential: Alpha Xi Delta’s Member Development Program was created to foster in each member an inner philosophy committed to ongoing intellectual and personal growth, thereby inspiring members to realize their potential. No matter what an Alpha Xi Delta sets out to do, success will depend on how she relates to the people she meets. Great leadership, at any level, evolves through effective relationships.

Alpha Xi Delta has been helping members build interpersonal skills since its founding. Through the “Realize Your Potential” program, Alpha Xi Deltas not only understand Emotional Intelligence, but build skills across the dimensions of self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management.

Scholarships from the Alpha Xi Delta Foundation are available to collegiate and alumnae members to assist them in completing undergraduate studies or in furthering their education through graduate school and professional certification programs.
