Going through recruitment can be stressful, whether you’re familiar with the process or not. Everyone is anxious to find out which sorority is the right fit. My best advice is to look for each chapter’s personality and take into consideration why the girls you talk to chose to join. To help jump-start your search for a sisterhood on the Forty Acres, here are the 10 reasons I think you should be an Alpha Xi at UT: Breakfast tacos are sacred in Austin. Texas Alpha Xi loves them so much that we have a biannual philanthropy event, Taco Xi, where you can eat your weight in breakfast tacos while supporting an amazing cause, Autism Speaks. Want to go to a tailgate event but don’t know who to go wit
¡Hola! As an out of state student at The University of Texas at Austin, I am familiar with the thrills and trials of traveling to an unknown place, and a Maymester in Barcelona sounded like another perfect adventure. After looking forward to my visit for months, I am now two weeks into my stay in Spain, and I could not be happier to call this beautiful city home.

To me, being an Alpha Xi is so much more than just being a member of an organization at UT because it
This year was the 16th Annual Women in Engineering Program's "Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day and STEM Festival." The day consisted of 7,000 K-8th grade students participating in nearly 150 hands-on STEM activities and presentations led by student organizations and corporate sponsors. Girl Day is an international annual event held each year during Engineers Week that celebrates women in engineering and encourages women to overcome adversity and pursue interests in STEM fields. I currently work for the Women in Engineering Program as an office assistant and help with all of the work that goes into making Girl Day happen, like making hundreds on hundreds of hands-on activity kits and input
Hey everyone! My name is Allyson Horstman and I am the Membership Vice President here at Alpha Xi! I am in charge of a lot of the action behind the scenes that couples with recruitment as we work to find the best new members for our chapter. My membership team and I go through hundreds of recommendation letters from our amazing alumnae. Also, my city leads and I travel to many local Panhellenic events in San Antonio, Dallas, Houston, and Austin to explain the recruitment process to potential new members. Going through the formal recruitment process meant so much to me because it led me to my home at Alpha Xi. Being a member of Alpha Xi has given me the best experiences of my college career a
