The benefits of being in any sorority are the connections you make and the sisterhood that comes through them. Lorenzo has found the most beautiful group of girls inside and out. She wouldn't be where she is today if she hadn’t experienced the growth she went through during the process. 

For anyone interested, Lorenzo recommends looking into the organizations on campus and seeing which one resonates with you the most, because you never know what good may come of it. 

Taylor Lavin

—————

Each Greek organization adopts a philanthropy and has a motto and a mission statement. At DXN, our philanthropy is Helping Hands.

Our mission statement is, “Delta Xi Nu Multicultural Sorority, Inc., is committed to furthering multiculturalism by promoting diversity and cultural awareness in our local communities and throughout the world.”

The motto of DXN is sisterhood, culture, and education.  Sisterhood means that, as sisters, you are never alone. Being in this sorority means you will have these sisters and friendships that we have made for life. Even after you graduate, everyone will be there for you and support you when you need it the most.

As a sorority, we celebrate everyone’s culture through multicultural events and fundraisers. For example, in the Spring semester, we usually hold an empanada fundraiser. 

For education, we hold study hours as sisters to make sure that everyone stays on top of their work and their assignments. Also, as sisters, we always try to make sure that everyone is not too stressed with schoolwork and is taking it one day at a time. 

Greek Week turned out to be a wonderful success. We had a week full of events that everyone enjoyed and we can’t wait to do this again next year!
