About Us

Welcome to the Epsilon Nu Chapter of Alpha Xi Delta at the University of Hartford! Rooted in the values of sisterhood, leadership, and personal growth, our chapter is more than just a group—it's a family. We are a vibrant, supportive community where lifelong friendships are formed, and every sister is empowered to reach her full potential.Since our national founding in 1893, Alpha Xi Delta has inspired women across the country to become confident leaders and compassionate changemakers. Here at Hartford, we proudly carry that legacy forward through campus involvement, meaningful service, and the unbreakable bond of sisterhood that defines everything we do.Our national philanthropy, The Kindly Hearts Initiative, allows us to support impactful organizations like Stand Up for Kids and Foster Club, while also making a difference locally through our partnership with The Village. Whether we’re hosting Football FreXi, Xi Idol, or Letters of Love, we come together not just to raise awareness—but to uplift our community with heart and purpose.From the excitement of recruitment to the bittersweet joy of graduation, Alpha Xi Delta is a place where laughter is shared, support is unconditional, and memories are made that last a lifetime.We don’t just wear our letters, we live them.

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.
