A's All Around

AXiD's from the Fisher College of Business!

This past week, the Psi Chapter of Alpha Xi Delta honored a few of Ohio State's most influential professors at our first ever Academic Banquet.  Members of the chapter were asked to nominate university professors  who have gone above and beyond to instruct, inspire, and facilitate success in the classroom.  These professors were then recognized at the banquet, of which the highlights included heartfelt speeches delivered by senior Alpha Xi's to their respective faculty guests, and let's be honest, the wonderful array of delicious food. After recognizing these guests of honor, the spotlight was then placed on our own sisters! Reflective of the successful teaching of OSU's professors, 51 AXiD's were applauded at the banquet for being named to the Dean's List last spring.  Among these intelligent and hardworking ladies, 7 achieved impressive 4.0 GPA's!  Awards for Most Improved GPA were then awarded to Kristen Reymann, for posting the largest GPA increase among the chapter, and Sammi DeMarsh and Savannah Moses for having the Most Improved Family GPA. Overall, the event was an incredible success, thanks to the passion of our chapter's Academic Chair Ana Vigil. For the past year, Ana has tirelessly constructed academic plans and study schedules for sisters who are struggling academically. Here's what she had to say about the banquet:

Most Improved GPA

"Besides the amazing football team that we have that draws hundreds of thousands of people to THE Ohio State University, we are a top academically competitive public school. I wanted to come up with a way to show appreciation for both the teachers that work hard to provide us with a top notch education, as well as the women of Alpha Xi Delta who work hard to achieve the grades that they do," Vigil says. "I also wanted to foster a relationship between greek life and academics on campus, because often times greek life gets stereotyped into only participating in social aspects and the other great achievements fall wayside. I think that Alpha Xi Delta places a priority on academics and this is reflected through the number of women we have on the Dean's List, the number of sisters who participate in academic clubs and fraternities, and teaching as TAs. I think that this first banquet was just a stepping stone for bigger and better things to come for our chapter and academics in the future!"
