Alpha Xi Delta’s Philanthropic Focus

The Kindly Hearts Initiative

The Kindly Hearts Initiative serves as the umbrella to our national philanthropic focus of supporting children and teens experiencing foster care or homelessness. Alpha Xi Deltas across the country support two Key Impact Organizations, FosterClub and StandUp for Kids, making a national and regional difference under the umbrella of our focus.

Letters of Love

All Alpha Xi Delta chapters and alumnae associations participate in Letters of Love, Alpha Xi Delta’s national letter writing fundraising campaign. Held annually during the month of November this campaign benefits Alpha Xi Delta’s two Key Impact Organizations, StandUp for Kids and FosterClub.

Our Chapter's Impact:

Our chapter supports Alpha Xi Delta's national philanthropy, Autism Speaks, by raising both money and awareness through a variety of different activities, including our Rose Benefit for Autism Speaks, bake sales, and events throughout National Autism Awareness Month. Locally, we partner with The Haven Shelter and Memory Cafe. Our sisters help plan and coordinate Memory Cafe each month, a social group for Alzheimer's patients and their families. Alpha Xi Delta sisters also participate in a variety of other philanthropic activities, from fundraising dinners and blood drives to numerous charitable events in the community. Each summer, we field a team for the Prouty, which benefits the Norris Cotton Cancer Center and in the spring, sisters participate in Relay for Life to benefit the American Cancer Society. We are very committed as a house in our support of causes that our own sisters are passionate about on and off campus, such as Habitat for Humanity and the Big Brothers Big Sisters program.

Additional Philanthropic Events

Additional events we coordinate throughout the semester may involve group and individual service project opportunities, donation drives, profit share nights at local restaurants, food fundraising events and more! Follow us on social media to see event announcements and information.
