About Us

Founded in 2009, the Iota Lambda Chapter of Alpha Xi Delta at St. Norbert College has grown into a strong and empowering sisterhood rooted in friendship, leadership, and purpose. From our early beginnings as a small group of women dedicated to bringing Alpha Xi Delta’s values to campus, we’ve continued to grow in both size and impact, shaping not only our chapter but the St. Norbert community as a whole.

Our chapter is made up of diverse, driven, and compassionate women who support one another through every step of college life and beyond. Whether we’re cheering each other on in academics, participating in campus leadership, giving back through service, or making unforgettable memories together, Alpha Xi Delta is where lasting bonds are formed and leaders are made.

At Iota Lambda, we strive to live out our motto, “The Pen is Mightier Than the Sword,” by uplifting one another, embracing personal growth, and inspiring women to realize their potential every single day.

In 1893, ten young women at Lombard College in Galesburg, Illinois, shared a vision and a dream of a national organization dedicated to the personal growth of women. Their dream became Alpha Xi Delta, one of the oldest women’s fraternities in the United States.

The timeless ideals envisioned by Alpha Xi Delta’s Founders remain constant throughout the years, inspiring pride in each member to pursue individual excellence. Now a national fraternity with more than 171,000 initiated members, our Fraternity is a progressive organization with college chapters and alumnae associations throughout the United States.

Alpha Xi Delta is proud of its history and lasting impact on its members and the Panhellenic community. In fact, Alpha Xi Delta’s first National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) Chairman wrote the Panhellenic Creed, which all members of NPC still recite on college campuses today.

Alpha Xi Delta’s Founders left us a great legacy. They taught us the value of education because it frees us to achieve our goals and gives us the power to be whatever we choose. They taught us to support one another through shared experiences and understanding. They taught us to serve others and reach out to better the lives of those less fortunate. Because of them, Alpha Xi Delta continues to inspire countless bold and talented women to realize their potential.
