Philanthropy

Philanthropy is at the heart of everything we do in the Zeta Chi chapter of Alpha Xi Delta at UNCW. Our members are deeply committed to giving back and making a difference through the Kindly Hearts Initiative, our national philanthropy that supports children and families experiencing foster care or homelessness. Each month, we host tabling events on campus, raising awareness and funds that go directly toward this important cause. Throughout the year, we organize a variety of engaging and impactful events, with our largest being Xi Man—a campus-wide talent competition where members of other organizations participate to show their support. Xi Man is one of our favorite traditions, bringing the UNCW community together in a fun and spirited way while raising significant funds for our philanthropy. In addition to Xi Man, we also hold heartfelt initiatives like Letters of Love. It is a digital letter-writing campaign where members write heartfelt letters and share personal stories to raise awareness and funds for two key impact organizations, FosterClub and StandUp for Kids. Through these efforts, the Zeta Chi chapter continuously strives to live out Alpha Xi Delta’s values of compassion, service, and sisterhood—turning small acts of kindness into lasting impact.
