This past weekend, we hosted yet another wonderfully successful Football Frenxi! The annual flag football tournament, which benefits Autism Speaks, saw 43 teams of men, women, Greeks, and non-Greeks converge at Fred Beekman Park.  From the onset of the tournament, each team displayed a thirst for victory so intense you would expect to only find it rivaled in the Hunger Games.  As our sisters cheered and coached from the sidelines, the teams fought to secure a spot in the next round.  Thankfully, the stakes were not the same caliber as the Hunger Games. All players and coaches left unharmed (for the most part).

The final championship games saw Kappa Alpha Theta and Alpha Gamma Delta compete in the women’s bracket while “Show Me Your TD’s” and “Evan’s All Stars” appeared in the men’s.  In the end, Alpha Gamma Delta and "Evan’s All Stars" were named this year’s Frenxi Champions.  But the real excitement came when all playing had commenced and the final fundraising total was announced. After months of organizing chapter walks, booking fields, and leading their sisters in advertising the event, our philanthropy chairs, Keri Ruzicka and Meredith Lynch, saw their hard work pay off in record-breaking fashion.

This year’s Frenxi successfully raised an astounding $2,900 for Autism Speaks! The entire chapter was incredibly proud to be able to donate this impressive sum to such a worthy cause. However, our work with Autism Speaks does not end with Frenxi. All of our sisters are now fundraising to participate in the Columbus Walk Now for Autism Speaks on October 13th! You’ll be sure to see our sisters repping the double blue and gold around downtown Columbus. After all, Autism Speaks and Alpha Xi Delta listens.

Can you spot the Xi?

Welcome back! Whether you’re a veteran student or a first year rookie, we hope you share our excitement for the start of a new school year! With summer bucket lists completed, books bought, and awkward tan lines (un)successfully hidden, the ladies of Alpha Xi Delta are ready to begin their fall semester.

Though the return of classes, exams, and that dreaded alarm clock might not seem like your idea of fun, it signals the return of our lovely sisters! After a summer apart, bigs, littles, twins, pledge classes and roommates will all be reunited. And just like that, a rainbow of “ΑΞΔ” lettered clothing will spread across campus.  However, despite how proud each Alpha Xi is to display her letters on campus, our vast supply of tees, sweatshirts, hats, and bags is not endless (as hard as that is to believe). When laundry day does roll around, our sisters are a little more difficult to spot. But have no fear— the women of Alpha Xi Delta are most likely to be found at any of the places mentioned below:


Thompson Library:
Day or night you’re likely to find an Alpha Xi on any of the Thompson’s floors.  Some of our favorite spots include the Grand and Buckeye Reading Rooms (for those who need large, open spaces to study), the Berry Café (snack breaks are essential during a cram sesh), and the 11th floor (you can’t beat that view!).

Resource Room 
Tucked into a corner of the Union’s second floor, this room is one of the most indispensible resources available to all OSU students. The ladies of ΑΞΔ are not strangers to the Resource Room’s useful services, which includes low cost access to printing, enlargements, lamination, poster supplies, games, sports equipment, and various books and tip sheets.
