Stay Connected, Support Sisterhood

The heart of Alpha Xi Delta is strong—because of incredible Sisters like you. Now more than ever, we need your help to keep that heart beating strong. By paying your national alumnae dues, you help us to carry on Alpha Xi Delta’s vision of inspiring women to realize their potential.

Your support provides opportunities for personal and professional growth, essential technology resources, and helps us continue to grow and thrive. Be the Heart alumnae member dues are just $25. We encourage all alumnae to renew their dues each year on June 1. If you pay your dues through an alumnae association, be sure to scroll to the bottom of this page for more information.

Alumnae Association Dues

Are dues tax-deductible?

How are dues different from donations to the Foundation?

The Alpha Xi Delta Foundation is a separate entity that supports the educational, leadership and charitable purposes of the sorority, as well as awarding scholarships for collegians and alumnae. The Alpha Xi Delta Foundation is a 501(c) (3) charitable organization, which means that all gifts to the Foundation are tax-exempt to the fullest extent allowed by law. 

The Fraternity is a 501(c) (7) social organization because the work of the Fraternity is focused on recruitment, public relations, chapter and alumnae association management and facility management. Contributions to the Fraternity are not tax deductible.

What is the different between Be The Heart alumnae and local dues paid to an alumnae association?

Each alumnae association sets its own locally managed dues that are used to fund the association’s activities. Be the Heart dues are paid directly by individual members to the Fraternity. Alumnae associations collect a $25 national dues payment (separate from their local association dues) from their members, which is sent to the National Fraternity and enrolls each association member as a Be The Heart alumnae dues paying member.
