| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | 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 continued 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 at the National Convention in 2015. The Workout is a summer leadership experience that offers powerful training to provide members with all the tools, resources and ideas they need to make their chapter's recruitment process unparalleled. 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 held its 51st National Convention in Boston, MA in July 2015. Alpha Xi Deltas gathered together to celebrate our Sisterhood and conduct the business of the Fraternity. More than 550 Sisters and friends were in attendance at this convention. We welcomed five new members into our Alpha Deuteron Chapter. Attendees participate in a variety of educational programs ranging from academics to social media and everything in between. Awards were given to honor chapters, alumnae members and collegiate members. In 2016, Alpha Xi Delta Fraternity became the national presenting sponsor of Autism Speaks Walks, the nation's largest grassroots autism fundraiser and event for Autism Speaks. The members of Alpha Xi Delta support the mission of Autism Speaks as its national philanthropy partner. Alpha Xi Delta and other interfraternal organizations rolled out a sexual assault prevention program called Courageous Conversations. Through this program, Sisters are led through material designed to educate and empower our members on issues surrounding sexual assault prevention and healthy relationships. Created with the unique characteristics of a women's organization in mind, the program allows for honest dialog among Sisters in an environment that encourages support and learning. Trained and experienced facilitators guide members through an educational experience that will cultivate a deeper understanding of these complex issues. |
