Alpha Delta Pi

Epsilon Xi Chapter
Northern Arizona University (NAU)

"We Live for Each Other", our open motto, is a phrase that encompasses what the sisterhood of Alpha Delta Pi was founded upon. It is the motto that we live by, and it truly describes the relationship we have. From the moment our new sisters step onto our chapter wing on Bid Day, they are welcomed with open arms and become part of our family. We take great pride in being a group of well rounded ladies with many different interests. With every accomplishment, competition, disappointment, and new experiences, each ADPi knows she can count on her sisters to be by her side.

The strong sisterhood within our sorority does not go unnoticed by fellow Lumberjacks. Sisterhood is a friendship that goes beyond the four years of college. It is a bond that cannot be matched with never ending trust and love. The friendships we have made here in Alpha Delta Pi will forever touch our lives. Let Alpha Delta Pi at Northern Arizona University be your home and new family while at college.

Epsilon Xi Celebrates 40 Years

at NAU!

During the weekend of November 2-3, 2007, the Epsilon Xi Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi had an early reunion celebration for their approaching 40th anniversary. The Epsilon Xi Chapter at N.A.U. was colonized in 1967 and received its charter on February 24, 1986. The chapter reunion, A Time to Re-Member, was held in Phoenix, Arizona. The goal for this reunion was to reunite the chapter, to connect our alumnae with our collegiate chapter and to increase our alumnae support of Epsilon Xi. Alumnae traveled from various cities in Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Minnesota, Washington DC and New York to take part in the reunion festivities. The reunion and fundraiser was organized by Brin Magness Hall, Chair. There were 65 ladies and their guests who attended the November 2nd Meet and Greet at the home of Brin Hall. On November 3rd, there were 80 guests (alumnae, 17 delta members, and 1 alpha member) who attended the luncheon at the Phoenix Country Club. The Reunion events were a success thanks to the committee leaders and committee members. Some names have been omitted due to the person's request or permission to post their name was not received.

Building Our Future at NAU
During the summer of 2007, the Epsilon Xi chapter began the Building Our Future at Northern Arizona University fundraiser. The fundraiser was organized to renovate the existing chapter room at Mountain View Hall. During the Reunion weekend, a raffle and two silent auctions were held to raise money for the Building Our Future at Northern Arizona University fundraiser. A total of $3,945.00 was raised. A portion of the silent auction proceeds were donated to the Ronald McDonald House Charities. To date, the Epsilon Xi alumnae have donated over $11,000.00 to the Building Our Future at Northern Arizona University fundraiser. Phase I of the chapter room renovation was completed during the NAU winter break. The renovation was organized and implemented by Brin Magness Hall and assisted by Chalea and David Forgues, Tom Hall, John Magness and Kelly Wise. The Epsilon Xi chapter is continuing their efforts in raising money to complete the Chapter Room Renovation Project. If you would like to donate to the fundraiser, please contact the chapter at naualphadeltapi@gmail.com.

Thank you to the 48 Alpha Delta Pi alumnae who have donated to this fundraiser. Some names have been omitted due to the person's request or permission to post their name was not received.
