Letter From Membership Vice President
Hello everyone!
My name is Jenna, and I’m a junior majoring in Finance with a minor in Psychology. I hope to pursue a career in financial planning or business law—I'm excited to see where life takes me! I’m originally from Overland Park, Kansas, but Lincoln, Nebraska, has truly become my second home.
Initially, I was hesitant about the recruitment process because I felt I didn’t fit the stereotypes of sorority life that I'd always seen. However, at the last minute, I decided to register. With only one other student from my high school attending this university, I hoped this would be the perfect opportunity to make new friends. Going in with no prior knowledge of recruitment, the houses, or the girls, I was a bit nervous. But the moment I stepped into Alpha Xi Delta, I felt an immediate sense of ease. I didn't feel pressured to be someone I wasn’t; I could just be myself—and that was exactly who they wanted to see. Opening my bid card and being welcomed by Sophia Schell (my big and now our chapter president) and the rest of the chapter with open arms on Bid Day confirmed that I had found my place.
As Membership Vice President, I work with the chapter and my recruitment team to ensure that all potential new members see Alpha Xi as the fun and deeply caring women we are and guide them to their people. I want all potential new members and my xisters to feel comfortable and confident throughout the process and enjoy every second of it, just as I did!
To anyone who might be hesitant because of stereotypes or anything else, my advice is simple: go for it! You'll find your people, your second family, your study buddies, your lifelong roommates, and most importantly, the best version of yourself. Getting to know and love each of the 150 women in my chapter is a gift I will cherish forever. Every sister has something unique to offer, helping each of us grow in ways we never imagined possible.
I can't wait for all potential new members to discover everything our amazing Greek community has to offer. I can say wholeheartedly that there is a special place for everyone on this campus and you will end up where you belong. Even if Alpha Xi isn’t your final choice, you’ll always have a friend who cherishes you for you in the Castle. I am deeply grateful to Alpha Xi Delta for all the opportunities it has given me to serve and thrive. This sisterhood is where I'm realizing my true potential, and I’m loving every second of it!
