Alpha
Xi Delta is making an impact in the lives of thousands of children
through the Choose Children Philanthropy Service. From 1992 to
the present, Alpha Xi Delta college chapters and alumnae associations
have given over 500,000 hours of service and donated over $1,000,000
to local agencies in their community. Children
are our precious keys to the future and Alpha Xi Delta has joined
the CHARACTER COUNTS! Coalition to make a commitment to America's
promise. CHARACTER COUNTS! Coalition is a consortium of the nation's
largest and most influential educational and youth serving organizations.
You may have seen commercials on television with children from
the local community speaking about one of the pillars associated
with CHARACTER COUNTS!, such as the value of sharing. CHARACTER
COUNTS! has one overriding mission that is to "strengthen
the character of America's youth." Of the Coalition's 278
member organizations, Alpha Xi Delta is the only Greek organization.
In 1999 Alpha Xi Delta made a commitment to America's Promise
to serve 75,000 hours and give $200,000 in our local communities
for children. The Public Relations Manual provides chapters
with planning guides, media kits, and other resource materials
to plan and implement a successful Choose Children Event and
gain valuable exposure for college chapters while touching the
lives of children. Alpha Xi D elta
chapters across the nation, including Epsilon, are supporting
children through programs such as Adopt-A- School, Children's
home volunteers, tutoring, and Asthmatic Children Olympics. The
involvement of Alpha Xi Delta members across the nation have
helped better the lives of children everywhere. Our members
of the Epsilon chapter are just a small portion of the Coalition,
but we make a big difference in the lives of children in the
community as well as the lives of children in the nation.
