Delta Xi Nu Multicultural Sorority, Inc. (ΔΞΝ) is an American multicultural-based sorority that was established at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas.

History

[edit]

Delta Xi Nu was established on October 7, 1997, at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas as a multicultural sorority.[1][2] Its five founders were Jetje Brewton, Rena Kharbat, Adrienne Magirl, Lesliam Quiros, and Jaime Slaughter.[3][4]

In 2003, the sorority became national with the founding of Beta chapter at Tulane University.[1] That was followed by Gamma at Colorado State University and Delta at the University of Texas Rio Grand Valley in 2006.[1] The sorority's membership consists of women from various cultural backgrounds, ethnicities, races, and sexual identities.[5][6][7]

The sorority joined the National Multicultural Greek Council (NMGC) in the fall of 2016.[1][8] As of 2025, Delta Xi Nu has chartered seventeen chapters, along with founding four associate chapters or colonies.[1] Its national headquarters is in College Station, Texas.

Symbols

[edit]

The Greek letters ΔΞΝ were chosen to mean "Changing Old Ways to New", which is also the sorority's motto.[9][4][10] Delta Xi Mu's values or pillars are "Sisterhood, Culture, and Education."[10]

The sorority's colors are red and silver.[11] Its mascot is the butterfly.[11] Its flower is a red tulip.[11] Its nickname is Xi Honeys, Honeys, and DXiNu.[11][4][2]

Activities
