Chapter History

Alpha Xi Delta - A South Dakota Tradition

Alpha Xi Delta's Epsilon Chapter was installed at the University of South Dakota on June 15, 1903. As the fifth chapter of Alpha Xi Delta Fraternity, we are one of the oldest continuously open chapters of Alpha Xi Delta nationwide. Alpha Xi Delta was also the first Greek letter organization in the state of South Dakota and was the first women's Greek-letter fraternity at the University of South Dakota.
