About Us

The Iota Epsilon Chapter of Alpha Xi Delta at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas is made up of confident, ambitious, and compassionate women who are committed to helping one another reach their fullest potential—on campus, in the community, and throughout life. Since our founding at UNLV in 1999, we’ve continued to grow in both size and impact. Though we come from a wide range of majors, backgrounds, and hometowns, we’re brought together by our shared values of sisterhood, leadership, service, and the pursuit of knowledge.

You’ll see our members actively engaged in all areas of campus life—from participating in Greek Week and student organizations to holding leadership roles and organizing philanthropy events. We’re especially proud of events like “Xi Karaoke” and “Pie a Xi,” which help us raise funds and awareness for causes we care deeply about. While service is a big part of what we do, we also place a strong emphasis on academic success, personal development, and creating friendships that last long after college. Whether it’s through leadership experiences or the traditions that keep our sisterhood close, being part of Iota Epsilon means being part of something meaningful, supportive, and lasting.

In 1893, ten young women at Lombard College in Galesburg, Illinois, shared a vision and a dream of a national organization dedicated to the personal growth of women. Their dream became Alpha Xi Delta, one of the oldest women’s fraternities in the United States.

The timeless ideals envisioned by Alpha Xi Delta’s Founders remain constant throughout the years, inspiring pride in each member to pursue individual excellence. Now a national fraternity with more than 171,000 initiated members, our Fraternity is a progressive organization with college chapters and alumnae associations throughout the United States.

Alpha Xi Delta is proud of its history and lasting impact on its members and the Panhellenic community. In fact, Alpha Xi Delta’s first National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) Chairman wrote the Panhellenic Creed, which all members of NPC still recite on college campuses today.

Alpha Xi Delta’s Founders left us a great legacy. They taught us the value of education because it frees us to achieve our goals and gives us the power to be whatever we choose. They taught us to support one another through shared experiences and understanding. They taught us to serve others and reach out to better the lives of those less fortunate. Because of them, Alpha Xi Delta continues to inspire countless bold and talented women to realize their potential.
