5/1/2007 - Alpha Xi Delta Invited to Re-colonize Kappa Chapter
Indianapolis, IN – The National Council of Alpha Xi Delta Fraternity proudly announced today that the Fraternity received an invitation to re-colonize its Kappa Chapter at the University of Illinois – Urbana-Champaign. In rejoining the Illinois Greek community, Alpha Xi Delta will once again be a part of the nation’s largest Greek community that includes 19 other National Panhellenic Conference groups.
“Alpha Xi Delta has dreamt of re-colonizing our Kappa Chapter at the University of Illinois for some time and we are thrilled to have received the invitation to once again be a part of the Illinois Greek community,” said Deborah Fenwick Maas, National President of Alpha Xi Delta Fraternity.
Alpha Xi Delta volunteers and staff will conduct the colonization recruitment beginning in fall 2008. A campus public relations campaign to generate excitement and interest in Alpha Xi Delta will commence in fall 2007.
“We are grateful to the Illinois Panhellenic Council for extending us this invitation and are inspired by the opportunity to share Alpha Xi Delta and all she has to offer with generations of women to come at the University of Illinois,” added Maas.
Alpha Xi Delta first installed its Kappa Chapter at the University of Illinois in 1905. The chapter became dormant in 1995.
Founded in 1893 at Lombard College, now Knox College, in Galesburg, Illinois, Alpha Xi Delta inspires women to realize their potential by providing opportunities for sisterhood, leadership, knowledge and service. The national women’s fraternity has over 142,000 initiated members and has chapters on 112 college campuses. For more information on Alpha Xi Delta Fraternity, visit
