Alpha XI Delta Fraternity Gamma Upsilon Chapter

“The most common way to become a member of alpha xi delta is to participate in the formal recruitment process at universities where an alpha xi delta chapter is located. Alpha xi delta is a member of the national panhellenic conference (npc) and recruits new members under their guidelines.”

“Members of alpha xi delta elect the national council.”

“Each member of the audit committee will receive a copy of the 990. Each member of the audit committee and elysia balster gallivan, as national executive director, will review the 990. Once those individuals have approved, the 990 will be issued. The final version will be shared with the national council for awareness prior to issuance.”

“The forms are collected, kept on file, and individuals are asked to recuse themselves from a vote if it is a conflict of interest.”

“The fraternity has an executive performance and compensation review committee comprised of three board members. Those members reach out to the foundation chair and nhc president for feedback. They review both industry standards for compensation as well as greek organization survey results. Location of the national executive director is also taken into consideration. The committee completes the review document and agrees on the compensation. National president completes the review and sends a memo to director of finance and operations for the fraternity for execution.”

“Providing a quality membership experience requires countless programming opportunities to undergraduate and alumnae members alike. Alpha xi delta is proud to offer a range of programming to entice and educate women at all stages in their membership. Alpha xi delta rolled out a clear vision of life - the wellbeing program during this year. This is an educational program specifically designed for alpha xi delta alumnae. Based on the book, "wellbeing: the five essential elements" by tom rath and jim harter, the program offers "challenges" related to the five elements of wellbeing: career, social, financial, physical, and community. Alpha xi delta's magazine 'the quill" allows us to promote the incredible accomplishments of our members - both internally and externally. With a circulation of over 83,000, it is a source of pride for the organization. Alpha xi delta's comprehensive recruitment training program, the workout, was offered in two sessions in 2015. The workout helps get our chapters in top condition before they start the recruitment marathon. Activities and exercises for a successful recruitment plan and a review of conversation tactics give sisters the tools they need to instill alpha xi delta pride within their chapters. Regionally based volunteers plan and host a mid-year leadership training titled area wide training (awt). Women in attendance learn the basics of being a new officer as well as tactics to increase their campus presence through positive public relations efforts; importance of on-campus involvement; updates on how to incorporate our philanthropy, autism speaks, into the chapter calendar of events. Additionally, they were shown a webinar on the fraternity's partnership with allone health's student talk one-2-one program - a telephonic, 24/7/365 counseling service that is offered to our membership at no additional cost. Alpha xi delta's membership development program, realize your potential, allows a chapter to choose what subject areas would most benefit its membership in four core areas: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. Each of these four areas has several workshops designed for chapter self-facilitation. Alpha xi delta held the volunteer leadership conference (vlc) for training and developing our volunteers. It was a time for national and territory directors, national council, national housing corporation board members and foundation trustees to use their ideas and talents to plan for the upcoming biennium. With a theme focused on sports and game planning, the weekend was packed with great ideas, training and collaboration. The founders' academy (tfa) is alpha xi delta's summer educational opportunity for chapter presidents and emerging chapter leaders. This was our first year for tfa, and programming centered around how to use our strengths through leadership opportunities and chapter management.”
