About Us

Alpha Xi Delta (ΑΞΔ) has a proud legacy that stretches all the way back to its founding on April 17, 1893 at Lombard College in Galesburg, Illinois, making it one of the oldest women’s fraternal organizations in the United States. Since then, Alpha Xi Delta has grown into a national sorority with active chapters at colleges across the country and more than 175,000 initiated members, united by a mission to inspire women to realize their potential through sisterhood, leadership, knowledge, and service. The Theta Xi Chapter at Florida International University was established in 1993, bringing these longstanding traditions and values to Panthers on FIU’s campus.At FIU, Alpha Xi Delta is much more than a group of friends, it’s a community where sisters support each other, grow together, and live out the values that the founders held dear. Members cherish what the letters ΑΞΔ stand for: a commitment to academic excellence, meaningful service, ethical leadership, and genuine, lifelong friendships. Whether through service events, leadership development, or late-night talks with sisters, the sorority is a home away from home where each woman is encouraged to be her best and uplift others along the way.

In 1893, ten young women at Lombard College in Galesburg, Illinois, shared a vision and a dream of a national organization dedicated to the personal growth of women. Their dream became Alpha Xi Delta, one of the oldest women’s fraternities in the United States.

The timeless ideals envisioned by Alpha Xi Delta’s Founders remain constant throughout the years, inspiring pride in each member to pursue individual excellence. Now a national fraternity with more than 171,000 initiated members, our Fraternity is a progressive organization with college chapters and alumnae associations throughout the United States.

Alpha Xi Delta is proud of its history and lasting impact on its members and the Panhellenic community. In fact, Alpha Xi Delta’s first National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) Chairman wrote the Panhellenic Creed, which all members of NPC still recite on college campuses today.

Alpha Xi Delta’s Founders left us a great legacy. They taught us the value of education because it frees us to achieve our goals and gives us the power to be whatever we choose. They taught us to support one another through shared experiences and understanding. They taught us to serve others and reach out to better the lives of those less fortunate. Because of them, Alpha Xi Delta continues to inspire countless bold and talented women to realize their potential.
