Sorority Recruitment


 It is my favorite time of the year, recruitment season! Over the span of three days, we will get to meet so many new girls that might find their home in our chapter. On the first night, you learn about our philanthropy. Alpha Xi Delta got the new philanthropy of FosterClub and Stand Up for Kids. These organizations support kids experiencing foster care and homelessness. I really love that we are able to support such an amazing organization and am so excited to give back to others with the new philanthropy. 

The next night is the sisterhood round. This is the round to hear about all of the amazing things each chapter does together but also with one another. Two of my best friends are in Theta and I think this round allows me to tell girls that you can be close with people not open in your chapter but rather anyone in the greek community. One of my favorite things that my chapter does is our yearly trip to pumpkin patch. I love being able to walk around with everyone and get really cute photos! I look forward to this trip each year.

The last round preference night. This night is when you have the deepest talk with the girls. You really get to know the girls that might join your chapter. While only about half of the girls that go through this round will end up joining the chapter, you really get to learn about so many girls on such a personal level. A lot of the time, when girls are in this round they end up crying just from hearing and telling information. After this night leads, all of the formal rounds are over. This leads into the best part of the weekend, Bid Day!

    I'm so glad you were able to meet and have meaningful conversations with so many girls! Recruitment looked a little different this year, but we made the most of it and I'm glad it's over!

Christmas Formals

Each year, Alpha Xi Delta hosts their Christmas formals which is one of the nicest events that we throw in the fall semester. This allows everyone in the chapter to get all dressed up and spend time with each other. This year, we were able to bring dates with us so I brought Megan. Megan knows a lot of the girls in my sorority because a couple of our friends are in the chapter so it was super fun to hang out with everyone. We started getting ready for the formal a couple hours before it started so before people could come to my house to take pictures and hang.  After some time, we all headed to the event and it was so much fun! When we first went there, we spent 30 minutes taking pictures of the different backdrops that they had set up. It was nice to have different options and fun to take pictures with everyone in the chapter. After some time, we went back upstairs and got hot chocolate and sat at the tables. Everyone talked for time and caught up with everyone else. Once everyone was

Welcome to Ada!

While I was just home last weekend, my parents wanted to come up for the weekend. One of the main reasons for them coming is Megan's parents were also coming up and this would be the first time they have met. We wanted to have a tailgate for the football game with them to get to hangout with all of our friends. In addition to hanging out with Megan's parents, my older brother and I surprised my parents by driving down to The University of Cincinnati to pick up my younger brother,  Aiden.  They haven't seen him since leaving for school so we thought this would be really cool for him to join us this weekend. When my parents saw Aiden, they were shocked. They had no idea that we were going to pick him up for the weekend. This made this whole weekend that much more fun!  We all got the our tailgate location in the late morning. The parents set up all of the food that was made and everyone enjoyed each others' company. A lot of Megan and I's friends showed up to socializ

Unexpected Visits

Ohio Northern is an amazing school but freshman year, my best friend, Kendyl transferred halfway through the academic year. She was unhappy on campus and knew that the best thing was for her to leave. I supported her knowing that Ohio Northern was not the place for her anymore but ever since, I felt like a part of me is missing. Throughout the remainder of the year, Kendyl and I would FaceTime at least once a week, as this was the best way to stay in touch and feel connected to each other.  Sophomore year came around and I was really struggling. I did not enjoy my major and was having minor roommate problems. Kendyl recognized that I was miserable and asked what she could do to help me feel better. I conceded that a weekend visit would really help. At first she did not think she would be able to, but after some convincing she made the trip. This was the best weekend I had all year! Whenever we are together, we always have the best time. Laughing the whole time, there is never a dull mo
