CASA de Esperanza de los Ninos and AXiD
Alpha Xi Delta's National Philanthropy is called the "Kindly Hearts Initiative (KHI)." Our Collegiate Chapters and Alumnae Associations across the nation are creating project plans within one or more of the following areas of focus: supporting students, food insecurity, and basic needs shortages. Houston has selected CASA de Esperanza de los Ninos which strives to break the cycle of child abuse and neglect for at-risk infants, children and their families by providing comprehensive residential and family support programs that transform people and communities. We look forward to volunteering together! |

Did you hear the news... Ivonne Delgado named as a National Lifetime Engagement Director Houston Alumna Ivonne Delgado was appointed as a National Lifetime Engagement Director. In this role, Ivonne has the bold goals to perpetuate lifetime membership in all aspects of the Fraternity and ensure that all alumnae understand the many ways they can participate in AXiD; to develop and support alumnae programming that is accessible and engaging to all Sisters and that increases alumnae support for chapter and involvement in the National Fraternity; and, to cultivate growth within communities of Alpha Xi Delta across the country. Alpha Xi Delta would not be the organization it is today without the generous contribution of time and talent from our alumnae volunteers. What volunteer level might be right for you?

Update on National Fraternity Headquarters After months of thoughtful discussion, consideration and input from volunteers and staff, National Council moved forward with an opportunity to sell the Fraternity Headquarters building at 8702 Founders Road in Indianapolis. The physical location closed in September 2022. The decision to sell the Fraternity Headquarters’ office was not made lightly. As always with everything decision we make, we remain committed to being thoughtful stewards of the Fraternity’s finances and that Alpha Xi Delta continues to remain a strong organization that inspires women to realize their potential. | | |
