We have progress!

Hello ladies!

As you can see by the thermometer on the right, we're up to $32,000! This is due to your generous donations and the fact that our chapter size keeps growing and growing! Here are some pictures of the new chapter room at its current state. It is coming along well and it is almost time for us to begin decorating.

The new dorm and chapter room will be finished in time for Recruitment in August. Our building is in a great location, as it is the closest to the new dining facility and is about 250 ft. from the new Coliseum! The new dorms will be set up in suites consisting of four individual bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a common living area with a kitchenette.

Your continued generosity will provide for a beautiful home for our chapter and we thank you for all that you do!

TFJ,

Zeta Xi Corporation Board

Fundraising Letter

The following letter was sent out to all Zeta Xi Alumnae. I am posting it here just in case we did not have your current mailing address. Please read! Thanks!

Dear Zeta Xi Alumna,

As you may have heard from our Alumnae Tailgate last fall and from the recent newsletter, the Zeta Xi Chapter is moving into new housing! Auburn University has decided to build a new sorority housing complex called The Village, which will offer apartment-style living to three sororities per building. Each chapter's wing includes housing for 40 women, a study lounge, kitchen, and a chapter room. Every sorority is responsible for furnishing every aspect of their common areas, lounge, and chapter room. This is an exciting, yet daunting, undertaking.

To maintain the highest standards, we need a chapter room that mirrors the impeccable quality of women that define the Zeta Xi Chapter. The design is in place and the contractors are ready. Your beloved chapter needs you, dear sister. The total amount needed is approximately
$100,000. The chapter has already raised some of the funds needed through dues collection, and we are appealing to you, alumnae, to help offset the remaining balance. Any donation you can make will get our chapter one step closer to a beautiful new chapter room. Our chapter
will be celebrating its 30th anniversary at Auburn next year. If the chapter averaged 30 women per class, and each donated at least $30, we could raise upwards of $27,000!

Throughout the years, exceptional women have called our chapter room home, with the current members being no exception, as they all embody the spirit of Alpha Xi Delta. Help us ensure that our chapter continues to grow and prosper and that our sisters get the very best there is to offer. This is a time to reflect on all the wonderful memories you made while in the chapter. Recall what it felt like to recite the ritual and the symphony with your sisters or the fun you had at socials. But most importantly, remember what Alpha Xi Delta has given you: lifelong friends, an unforgettable college experience, and a bond that can never be broken.

TFJ and War Eagle,

Nicole Carlson--Zeta Xi Chapter President
Cathie Robinson--Zeta Xi Corporation Board President
Emily Doucette--Alpha Xi Delta Auburn-Opelika Alumnae Association President
