Parents of Delta Mu

Dear Delta Mu family,

We are so happy that your daughter has found her home away from within our chapter. At Alpha Xi Delta, we believe that when a sister joins our chapter, her family joins our family too. We know the important role parents and loved ones play in supporting our sisters throughout their college experience, and we're so grateful for your encouragement and care

We love keeping families connected and involved! Join us on family day where you can meet other families, spend time with your daughter, and experience our sisterhood firsthand. Follow our instagram @axid_odu to follow along!

A letter to our families

Dear Alpha Xi Delta Family,

Welcome to Alpha Xi Delta! Your loved one has found a home in an organization that has been inspiring women to realize their potential since 1893. We look forward to playing a strong and positive role in your student's college life and beyond, and we hope that you will be an involved and supportive part of this experience.

The concepts to which our founding members dedicated themselves when Alpha Xi Delta was founded in 1893 - a broad, purposeful education; high moral character; selfless service to others; and, most importantly, deep and abiding friendship - still hold true today and are, in fact, the cornerstone of our chapter programming.

During your loved one's college years in Alpha Xi Delta, she will make friends to support and motivate her, and she will find guidance in the Alpha Xi Delta alumnae who advise her chapter and serve her house corporation board. She will be mentored by Sisters who emphasize the importance of academics and sound study habits, who model interpersonal cooperation in the face of differing viewpoints and who believe that community service is inherent to being a good citizen. Through active chapter involvement, she will have the opportunity to develop life skills, leadership and organizational management skills, self-awareness, esteem and confidence. And she will be surrounded by others who support her through her challenges and celebrate with her when she meets them. In short, Alpha Xi Delta will serve as her home away from home during college, and we hope she enjoys every minute!
