A letter from Alpha Xi Delta’s President
Dear Potential New Members,
My name is Isabelle Cross, and I have the absolute privilege of serving as the President of Alpha Xi Delta. Our chapter is grounded in the founding principles of Truth, Friendship, and Justice, values that guide everything we do and shape the women we strive to be each day. From the moment I joined, I found more than just an organization; I found a home away from home.
Joining Alpha Xi Delta has truly been one of the most impactful experiences of my college career. Every day, I am surrounded by women who genuinely care about me and want to see me succeed. They are the first to cheer me on in moments of achievement and the ones who stand beside me through life’s challenges. This sisterhood has not only supported me but also pushed me to grow, encouraging me to reach new heights and become the best version of myself.
One of the things that makes our chapter so special is the individuality and strength of the women within it. No matter where I am on campus, I know I will see a familiar face, a welcoming smile, or a helping hand. These are the women who have made a lasting impact on my life, not only during my time at Elon, but far beyond. I can wholeheartedly say I have found my bridesmaids, my lifelong friends, and the people who will continue to walk beside me through every stage of life.
It has been such an honor to serve a sisterhood that has given me so much and shaped me into the woman I am today. I hope that each of you finds a place where you feel this same sense of belonging, support, and love.
With love, XOXI, Isabelle
