Welcome to Alpha Xi Deltas 50th National Convention!San Francisco is often called Everybodys Favorite City, a title earned by its scenic beauty, cultural attractions, diverse communities and world-class cuisine.

After this fun-filled, exciting Convention, Alpha Xi Deltas will have another reason to call San Francisco their favorite city.

While you are here, be sure to make the most of your experience by meeting the national volunteers and staff who support our dear Fraternity, spending some time getting to know Sisters outside of your chapter to create new friendships and being inspired through attendance at our educational sessions.

We have much to accomplish during these few days in San Francisco: conduct the business of Alpha Xi Delta, honor the amazing accomplishments of our chapters and associations at the Awards Ceremony and Philanthropy Breakfast and learn new ways to advance our chapters and associations. I know we are all looking forward to celebrating our Sisterhood, to rekindling those genuine, lifelong friendships with which Alpha Xi Delta has blessed us and to making new friendships.

Thank you for joining us in San Francisco! We hope you are truly energized by this extraordinary event and leave with a renewed love and pride for Alpha Xi Delta. Loyally,

Sandi EdwardsAlpha Xi Delta National President
