We loved getting to know everyone during Formal Recruitment. After two weeks of late nights, early mornings, and workshops, Bid Day arrived! We were all so excited to see who would be joining us and sharing the sisterhood of Alpha Xi Delta with. As usual, the Xi's did Bid Day in style with a "Welcome to Xi Jungle" theme. Everyone was covered in animal prints, leather, glitter, and fur and ready to greet the new member class. 

56 girls opened their white envelopes at the Ohio Union to see that Alpha Xi Delta would be their new home. We anxiously awaited and cheered as we saw a mob of girls running down 15th Avenue, following our seniors carrying our letters. The night was filled with fun and laughter as everyone took tons of pictures and enjoyed chocolate fondue. Later on in the night, the Xi's had a blast dancing to music with the new members and already made some memories we will never forget. 

We are so excited to see what the future of Alpha Xi Delta looks like with this new member class and can't wait to get to know them as friends and sisters for life.

Going Greek

It's that time of the year again, Formal recruitment. This is a time that allows us to reminisce about memories during recruitment, finding our home, and getting to meet our fellow sisters. Here are just a few reasons why some of our sisters decided to go Greek and what joining Alpha Xi Delta has given them.

I was in an all women's choir in high school and we had grown really close. Coming to school out of state, I wanted to find that family feeling again and make Ohio State my home away from home.

- Rachel, Senior

To find the people I could connect to on a deeper level. I needed a home away from home and sisters to count on when life pushed me down. My sister pick me up and help me move forward.

- Amber, Sophomore

To join a community that is smaller than the OSU student body. My favorite part is that I found some of my best friends that share my same values and we now have a special bond."

- Jacque, Junior

To get more involved and make a big campus smaller

- Colleen, Sophomore

I decided to go to a big school and wanted to meet people with similar interests and build relationships that could last a lifetime.

- Hannah, Junior

To find my place on campus where I could meet lifelong friends and be part of something bigger than myself. Alpha Xi Delta has taught me to realize my potential and given me sisters I know I can trust.

- Sara, Sophomore

We are all so excited to meet all of the amazing ladies who will join our chapter and continue the legacy of Alpha Xi Delta with courage, graciousness, and peace.
