Meet the President: Greetings  from  the  Delta  Alpha  Chapter!  I  hope  this  letter  finds  you  all  having  a  great  winter  and  holiday  season.  I'm  writing  you  as  the  newly  entrusted  President  of  our  Alpha  Xi  Delta  chapter  here  in  La  Crosse.    I  am  thrilled  and  honored  to  have  been  trusted  with  this  position  and  am  extremely  excited  for  what  the  New  Year  brings.  Our  chapter  has  undergone  several  great  changes  within  the  past  year  and  I  am  thrilled  to  be  able  to  build  upon  those  and  keep  the  chapter  close  in  sisterhood,  growing  in  leadership,  discovering  more  about  scholarship  and  becoming  more  knowledgeable  about  our  philanthropy.        To  give  you  a  bit  of  information  about  myself,  I'd  like  to  start  with  how  I  joined  and  what  Alpha  Xi  Delta  has  done  for  me.  I  joined  my  first  semester  of  freshman  year  here  at  UW-­‐L.  My  dance  coach  in  high  school  was  a  member  of  the  Eau  Claire  chapter  and  I  saw  how  much  she  loved  the  organization,  so  I  decided  to  check  it  out  once  I  got  to  college.  To  be  honest,  I  didn't  know  much  of  what  a  sorority  was  before  I  joined.  I've  gained  experiences  that  I  wouldn't  trade  for  the  world  and  friends  that  I  would  have  never  found  anywhere  else.      As  the  new  chapter  president,  I  am  excited  to  develop  more  leaders  within  our  younger  members  and  prepare  them  for  their  upcoming  years  in  the  chapter.  It  is  my  goal  that  every  woman  in  Alpha  Xi  Delta  not  only  realizes  her  potential,  but  cherishes  the  organization,  her  sisters,  and  what  Alpha  Xi  Delta  has  to  offer  for  life.  Thank  you  all  for  all  that  you  do!    

Sincerely,    Devan  Galbraith  Alpha  Xi  Delta-­‐Delta  Alpha  Chapter  President
