As a sophomore in college I have learned a few things. I have learned that Winco has really cheap food and I like that. I have learned that I don't own enough college swag. I have learned that sometimes procrastinating your homework creates some really great essays. But most importantly, I have learned that I would be nowhere without Alpha Xi Delta. Alpha Xi has given me the greatest opportunities I could ever ask for. Because of my sisters, I have passed classes, I have one of the most wonderful Big's ever, and I have memories made of gold.

To me, Alpha Xi Delta is my home away from home. It's my safe place. It's the sorority that has some of the most kind, loving, and caring people I have ever met. So, I decided to ask other sisters around the country what Alpha Xi Delta means to them. Here is what I received.
