Meet Our Philanthropy Vice President
Hi, my name is Leila Price, I am so honored to be serving the Zeta Xi chapter of Alpha Xi Delta as their Philanthropy Vice President!
Alpha Xi’s heart for philanthropy is focused on sending our sisters to serve the community. One way we have been able to accomplish this is through our partnership with the BigHouse foundation. Alpha Xi has been so blessed to assist with the BigHouse mission to “impact the lives of children in foster care in a positive way through meeting their needs and serving their foster families”. Through BigHouse, we have been able to build relationships with and bring resources to the foster families in Auburn and the surrounding areas. This hands-on experience has given our sisters treasured memories and friendships that they will carry with them long after their time at Auburn.
I have had the opportunity to be a first hand witness to the heart of service my sisters exhibit every chance they get. With every year, I see more passion and excitement to be a part of the community and serve that community in any way possible. I have been deeply impacted by Alpha Xi’s philanthropy as I know my sisters have. It has truly been an honor to lend a hand alongside them, and I can’t wait to continue that this year!
XOXI,
Leila Price
Glitz & Glam & Gowns
Glitz, Glam, and Gowns is a two-part event consisting of a donation drive along with an event for girls grades 9th-12th who are in the foster care system, have been adopted out of the system, or are a biological daughters of a family who fosters. These girls are welcomed into the Alpha Xi Delta chapter room where they will get to try on and pick out any dress, shoes, or accessories that were donated by the women of the Auburn Panhellenic community. Our hope for this event is that every girl will feel beautiful and special as they enter the spring formal dance season.
Letters of Love
The Zeta Xi chapter of Alpha Xi Delta founded the Letters of Love campaign in 2010. All Alpha Xi Delta chapters across the country now participate in this campaign to benefit our individual philanthropic efforts. The mission of Letters of Love is to inform family and friends of our personal stories and connections to our philanthropy. Our chapter conducts a letter writing campaign as well as an online giving campaign to collect tax deductible donations to benefit our philanthropic organization. Our Letters of Love campaign kicks off in October and closes in December. During the 2020-2021 academic year, sisters we able to raise over $80,000 on behalf of our philanthropic partner. We are also very proud to say that we were the top fundraising Alpha Xi Delta chapter for the Letters of Love campaign.
