Alpha Xi Delta's Xi Man Field Day
February 11th Alpha Xi Delta held it's first annual Xi Man Field Day, benefitting Autism Speaks, competition at Lake Claire. The men participating in their Xi Man sweetheart competition competed to win the field day event. Men in the participating fraternities competed in a three legged race, sand volleyball, and tug of war events. Since there were 250-300 people in attendance, sisters of Alpha Xi Delta said that the Field Day event gave contestants and their fraternity brothers the opportunity to get to know more members of the Greek community. Over $8,000 were raised, which will go directly to Autism Speaks, in hopes of making a difference in the lives of children affected by Autism. In order to show the community how frequently children are affected by Autism, the creators of the competition, Janine and Ashley, had contestants create puzzle pieces depicting current statistics regarding Autism (Pictures are located below). At the conclusion of their event, the sisters of Alpha Xi Delta crowned Freshman member of Lamba Chi Alpha, Tim Henderson as their Xi Man.
