talk Xi to me

Are you going to the Panhellenic Summer Social? Not sure what that is... Let's talk Xi! Still on the fence about going through sorority recruitment this fall? Then mark you calendar for July 28 ! The Panhellenic Summer Social is a great way to "get your feet wet" with the recruitment process and the sorority women on campus.  What to expect: In the past, the Summer Social has been a busy busy day! All of the women who are going through or are thinking of going through recruitment show up and get name tags to start the day. After you're shown your seat, you'll get to chat with the other women at your table! What classes are you taking? What are you majoring in? Do you know anyone else going through? Chat it up! Who knows, you could be running home together at the end of the summer! Time to EAT! Yes food! There will be a little something to eat along with some tea, water, or lemonade of some sort.

Xi to Me: Madi Lemon Let's talk Xi... What was most memorable to you when you went through recruitment? The most memorable part of recruitment to me was feeling myself start to truly open up to the women in Alpha Xi Delta. It was preference day for me that I  knew Alpha Xi Delta was my home when I was connecting with my future sisters. Why did you choose Alpha Xi Delta? I went through recruitment only knowing my roommate in Jacksonville so I was looking for a group of girls who would genuinely love and support me and would help me be the best version of myself. They took the pressure off of me when I walked in the room and let me be my true self in our conversations. What advice can you give a woman coming through? The best advice I can give a PNM is to follow your heart and be your true self. It is easy to feel like you need to fit a certain mold when visiting several different sororities and being around so many women at one time. As long as you remain your

Sorority Girls Can Change the World Let's Talk Xi... with Makayla Brown! Our sister, Makayla, is a World Changing Ambassador for Sorority Girls Can Change the World. Who knew a girl from Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, could change the world one day? What is Sorority Girls Can Change the World ? I'm glad you asked! Sorority Girls Can Chang the World is a book that Katie Bulmer wrote about her story and how much sorority women can make an impact no matter where they go! Katie started to wonder her senior year of college if there was more to life than "cute shoes and Jell-O shots." Since then she has been a world changer and an inspiration for sorority women everywhere. Her book talks about dating, community, and how we can help others. Makayla says she recommends this book to anyone she meets because it inspired her so much, especially in Alpha Xi Delta! Makayla is a World Changing Ambassador! As an ambassador, Makayla helps spread the word about

Let's talk Xi... with Shiann Weaver! Xi Lady Spotlight Shiann Weaver is our next Xi Lady Spotlight with our blog! Shiann is our Assistant New Member Orientation Director. We asked Shiann some questions about her position and recruitment expectations! What do you do as Assistant New Member Orientation Director? The main objective of my position is to teach new members all about Alpha Xi Delta and our history. I think it’s really important because without our history there would be no real connection with an organization. Along the way I plan activities to do with the new members and I try to make the transition from high school to college easier for the women. The best part of my position though is big little pairs. I am in charge of helping these women find mentors and friends in Alpha Xi Delta that will last a lifetime. What are you most excited for this recruitment? I am so excited for this recruitment because it will be my first time on the sister side! I

Xi to Me: Jaci Byars Let's talk Xi... What was most memorable to you when you went through recruitment? Running home to my sisters on bid day!!  Why did you choose Alpha Xi Delta? I chose Alpha Xi Delta because I felt I could honestly be myself - my true crazy blonde self!! Without having to act like anyone different. I felt at home and very welcomed by all the sisters, and now I have a love forever and always for Alpha Xi!!  What advice can you give a woman coming through recruitment? Be yourself!! There will be so much going on during the week, but as long as you be yourself and stick with it you’ll find your home! Trust me!!!  We are so thankful to have such a wonderful sister like Jaci! Keep shining, sis.  Until next time... XoXi

Xi to Me: Tegan Singleton Let's talk Xi... What was most memorable to you when you went through recruitment? Bid day, the overwhelming love and joy from that day are something I will never forget and I wish I could relive over and over again. Why did you choose Alpha Xi Delta? For the love and acceptance that I felt. These girls made me feel comfortable and allowed me to be who I was even though I just met them. This sorority stood out to me because everyone was so different and brought so many things to the table.  What advice can you give a PNM coming through? Be open minded. Go where YOU feel most comfortable. Don’t join a sorority just because your friend likes them or even if you already have friends in it. You need to go where you feel most at home.  Tegan is such a blessing to our chapter. Keep shining, sis! Until next time... XoXi
