About Us

Welcome to the Theta Delta Chapter of Alpha Xi Delta here at Towson University located in Maryland! Since our chapter’s founding in 1933 at TU, Alpha Xi Delta has empowered strong, confident women to realize their potential and embrace sisterhood, leadership, and service. We are proud to be part of a national organization that has inspired women since 1893, and we strive to live our values every day through meaningful friendships, academic excellence, campus involvement, and personal growth. Within the Theta Delta Chapter, our sisters come from diverse backgrounds but are united by a shared purpose, to support one another, serve our community, and lead with compassion and integrity. Whether we’re cheering each other on in the classroom, volunteering in the community, or celebrating our traditions, the bond we share is lifelong. Alpha Xi Delta has helped shape who we are as individuals and as a chapter, and we can’t wait to share that experience with others

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.
