About Us

Nestled in the vibrant heart of New Orleans at the University of New Orleans, the Delta Epsilon chapter of Alpha Xi Delta is more than just a sorority — we’re a sisterhood rooted in purpose, compassion, and growth. We proudly support the New Orleans Women and Children’s Center, reflecting our deep commitment to service and community impact. Our chapter is dedicated to helping each sister discover and achieve her fullest potential, both personally and academically. At a smaller university, it’s easy to feel disconnected — but Alpha Xi Delta offers a powerful network of women from diverse backgrounds who uplift one another, share unforgettable experiences, and grow into confident leaders. Through meaningful friendships, leadership development, and lifelong memories, we empower each other to thrive during college and beyond. Join us, and find your home, your voice, and your future.

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.
