Alpha Xi Delta had initiation this weekend for 11 new members.
On Sunday, a private candlelight ceremony was held so incoming members could officially become sisters.
"The initiation was serious and symbolic, and I felt rewarded to part of this organization," said new member Reagan Williams.
The new members' experiences at the candle ceremonies were rewarding and they are all appreciative to be a member of Alpha Xi.
"I am honored to be a member of Alpha Xi Delta because individuality is one thing that stands out about this sorority and all the girls are different, but we all have a common experience because we love the sorority," said new member Courtney Ray.
This initiation was a constant open bid where members invited interested young ladies to join the sorority. To become a member of Alpha Xi, interested young ladies must have a 2.5 GPA and must be involved in another organization on campus.
Alpha Xi is active in the community and on campus and they were looking for members with good academic standings and leadership skills.
"These 11 girls are a valuable asset to our sorority because they are very dedicated and excited about campus life and Greek life," said Vice President of Public Relations Amy Walker.
"Its great to be a member of Alpha Xi because of the strong sisterhood, community, and campus involvement," said new member Brittney Davis. "I will treasure this for the rest of my life,"
Alpha Xi Delta was the first Greek organization founded at JSU on March 2,1968, and their mascot is a teddy bear. Their national philanthropy is "Choose Children".
The Alpha Xi philanthropy projects are going to doing activities with children at Jacksonville Boys and Girls Club, Kitty Stone Elementary clean-up, and an annual bachelor pageant where they raise money for the Pediatric Aid Foundation.
Alpha Xi Delta won a tennis championship this year and they also won the Flag Football Sorority Championship last week.
Alpha Xi's national slogan is " realize your potential."
