Alpha Xi Delta in National Geographic!

Check out the June 2002 National Geographic! In their monthly "ZipUSA" feature, NG went to Ames, Iowa, home of Iowa State University. On page 134, they write: "GIRLS VERSUS BOYS: Sophomore Alexandra Kordick gets the good news: The sisters of Alpha Xi Delta have come to her room in Friley Hall with balloons, a rose, and a bid to join their sorority. She feels she has outgrown the coed dorms. `I want to be able to walk down the hall barefoot and not contract some deadly disease,' she says. `The boys are the worst -- they're loud, and they're just naturally smelly.'" Ah, dorm life! There's a close-up of Alexandra, looking very happy, and some other Alpha Xi Delta sisters in the background. Hooray for our Iowa State women for getting sorority-related press that's not negative!!

That is so cool! Too bad I can't get their site to work properly - now I'm gonna have to go to the newstand to check it out!

Sorry to intrude on your boards, but I wanted to let all the Alpha Xi's out there how much I love your organization. I rushed last fall and it came down to Sigma Kappa and Alpha Xi Delta. I had the hardest decision to choose between the two. Even though I chose Sigma Kappa, the sisters of Alpha Xi Delta will always have a place in my heart! (sorry to sound so mushy!)
Congrats on the great publicity! I'm sure that girl was just as excited as I was to recieve a bid from a beautiful sorority.

Great photo! Thanks for letting us know about it. I went and got a copy of the magazine and took it to our Alum meeting last night. Everyone was amazed that we were in National Geographic.

My dad gets a subscription; my favorite article is always the zip code section. I was so thrilled to see Alpha Xi Delta represented since you don't seem to see us in the media too often. Thank goodness for good press!!
