On March 7, 2010, the sisters of Alpha Xi Delta gathered for a self-defense workshop. Two women's self defense experts from Ithaca Karate came to the house to teach our sisters the basics of protecting themselves. Not only did all our sisters have a good time, we all learned crucial self-defense tactics. The workshop was very informative and interactive, and we even learned how to break wood!

On Thursday February 25, Alpha Gamma Rho, Alpha Xi Delta, Sigma Alpha and Cornell Bridges to Community hosted the first ever Skate Night with Cornell University Hockey Teams at Alpha Gamma Rho’s outdoor rink.

Despite the cold weather, the event was very successful, raising over $325 for Cornell Bridges to Community’s spring break service trip to Nicaragua! Supporters of the event were able to borrow a pair of skates and skate with Cornell hockey legends Colin Greening, Riley Nash, Brendon Nash, Ben Scrivens, Erik Axell, Mike Garman & Chris Moulson (Men’s Hockey) and Hayley Hughes, Amanda Young, Chelsea Karpenko, Amanda Mazzotta, Kelly McGinty & Laura Danforth (Women’s Hockey).  

We really enjoyed working closely with each other. Thank you to everyone who came out and participated!
