Alpha Xi Delta Fraternity was founded on April 17, 1893, at Lombard College (now Knox) in Galesbug, Illinois. I believe we were officially incorporated as a national fraternity in Illinois April 17, 1901, but I'd have to check our charter and see.
Our ten founders were:
Cora Bollinger Block
Alice Bartlett Bruner
Almira Lowry Cheney
Frances Elizabeth Cheney
Bertha Cook Evans
Eliza Drake Curtis Everton
Julia Maude Foster
Lucy W. Gilmer
Harriet Luella McCollum
Lewie Strong Taylor
Alpha Xi was the 10th women's organization to join the National Panhellenic Conference (in 1902), and our first NPC chair wrote the Panhellenic Creed, still recited today.
