Alpha Xi Delta’s Philanthropic Focus
The Kindly Hearts Initiative
The Kindly Hearts Initiative serves as the umbrella to our national philanthropic focus of supporting children and teens experiencing foster care or homelessness. Alpha Xi Deltas across the country support two Key Impact Organizations, FosterClub and StandUp for Kids, making a national and regional difference under the umbrella of our focus.
Letters of Love
All Alpha Xi Delta chapters and alumnae associations participate in Letters of Love, Alpha Xi Delta’s national letter writing fundraising campaign. Held annually during the month of November this campaign benefits Alpha Xi Delta’s two Key Impact Organizations, StandUp for Kids and FosterClub.
Our Chapter's Impact:
One of the things we are most proud of at the Alpha Eta chapter of Alpha Xi Delta is our chapter’s philanthropy work with the Kindly Hearts Campaign. Our chapter is pleased to work with the Boys and Girls Club of West Lafayette. Delightedly, we are able to give back right to our own community and the people in it. Throughout the year, we coordinate several events to raise money and donate our time to this amazing organization. Each year, our chapter holds Xi Karaoke, Football FrenXi, and Paint Wars all to benefit the Boys and Girls Club!

Paint Wars:
Our chapter co-hosts a philanthropy event in the fall which is a dodgeball tournament with a twist! Instead of dodge balls, we use giant sponges dipped in paint. So much fun!
Football FrenXi:
Our chapter hosts our own philanthropy events on campus every year. In the fall, we host Football FrenXi, a flag football tournament between participating fraternity, sorority, and other campus organization teams.
Xi Karaoke:
In the spring, we host a Karaoke event open to members of fraternities, sororities, and other campus organizations. Participants get to perform a song of their choosing in Fowler Hall in front of an energetic live audience. We love to get together as a house and cheer for our participants, and we are always thrilled to welcome our faculty advisor Steve Beaudoin as our celebrity guest judge.

All of our philanthropy events are a huge success every year and a great way to bring the Purdue Greek community together to support the Boys and Girls Club!
In addition to raising money for our own philanthropy, we enjoy participating in other philanthropy events on campus and getting involved with volunteering and community service. Our chapter loves attending and creating teams for not only greek events, but also fundraising and volunteer organizations across Purdue’s campus such as BGR, PUDM, and Timmy Global Health. We are consistently blown away by the caring hearts of our sisters and all of the energy and time that they pour into their extracurricular involvements.
Additional Philanthropic Events
Additional events we coordinate throughout the semester may involve group and individual service project opportunities, donation drives, profit share nights at local restaurants, food fundraising events and more! Follow us on social media to see event announcements and information.
