Hey guys! With the holidays coming to an end, many of the Alpha Xi's are returning to Austin in preparation for the new semester. While a lot of us were home for the holidays, spending time with family and friends, many of our sisters traveled out of the city, state, and even country! Let's take a look at where they went...
