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 150,000 initiated members, our Fraternity is a progressive organization with college chapters and alumnae associations throughout the United States.
As sisters of Gamma Phi, we have been inspiring young women to realize their potential through scholarship, leadership, service and sisterhood. Alpha Xi Delta holds a strong presence on East Carolina University's campus by showing excellence in academics, intramurals and philanthropy events.
