4/5/2006 - Alpha Xi Delta Invited to Colonize at Worcester Polytechnic Institute
National Council is proud to announce that Alpha Xi Delta has been invited to colonize at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Massachusetts. Founded in 1865, WPI was one of the nation's earliest technological universities with where females make up roughly 25% of the nearly 3,000 student body.
Alpha Xi Delta will join a strong Greek community that includes two NPC sororities, Alpha Gamma Delta and Phi Sigma Sigma, and eleven national fraternities. Alpha Xi Delta volunteers and staff will conduct the colonization recruitment beginning in late fall 2006. A campus public relations campaign to generate excitement and interest in Alpha Xi Delta will be conducted just prior to recruitment.
As with all successful colonizations, WPI will need support from our members—both collegiate and alumnae. From serving in a volunteer capacity to providing financial support, there will be many opportunities to be a part of this wonderful opening! Alumnae interested in more information about our colonization efforts or how you can assist with the colony can contact
headquarters.
