About Us

Alpha Xi Delta at the University of New Hampshire (Tau Chapter) is a close-knit community of approximately 150 women who are proud to call UNH home. Established on campus on September 25, 1914, our chapter has a long-standing tradition of leadership, service, and sisterhood that continues to grow stronger each year.Rooted in the core values of truth, friendship, and justice, Alpha Xi Delta is dedicated to building a community of strong, resilient women who support one another academically, socially, and personally. Our sisters are driven, compassionate, and committed to realizing their full potential both during their college years and beyond.Service is at the heart of our chapter. Through our national philanthropy, the Kindly Hearts Initiative, we proudly partner with organizations such as FosterClub and StandUp for Kids to support youth experiencing foster care, homelessness, and housing insecurity—both nationally and within our local community.Above all, Alpha Xi Delta is more than a sorority; it is a home away from home. Through lifelong friendships, leadership opportunities, community involvement, and unforgettable memories, our sisters continue to grow together while leaving a positive impact on the UNH campus and beyond.

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.
