Have you ever wanted to be a part of something bigger and better than you? Something that could help you realize your potential and help you develop skills that will help you succeed in many different aspects of life? How about being a part of something that focuses on values and holding true to those values. Then going Greek for Alpha XI may be the thing for you!

Not many of the female students here at Defiance College are aware that there is a sorority on campus. Yes, there is Alpha Phi Omega which is co-ed and Phi Sigma Chi which is male only, but few know of the Alpha Xi’s.

Alpha Xi Delta is an all-girl sorority on campus that focuses on making long lasting friendships, values, helping women to realize their potential, and serving others. Alpha Xi Delta is social sorority, therefore, we focus on leadership skills, thinking of others, and forming long lasting relationships with our sisters.  Many would say that joining a sorority is just paying for friends, but it is so much more than that.

Do you notice a need on campus or in the Defiance community that you feel you could tackle with some help? If you said yes to any or all of these questions, then you should consider starting a project through Project 701.

(Defiance, OH) Every student here knows what they are. Residential Assistants, the person that you go to when there is an issue or something needs cleaned. But in reality, the RA job is a lot more than just replacing toilet paper or writing students up.

The RA needs to have many qualities, because it is their job to maintain a fun and positive living environment for the students here at DC. They need to be energetic, non-judgemental, yet responsible in following the guidelines the school puts in place.

(Defiance, Oh) The Defiance College Women’s basketball team (4-8, 3-2 HCAC) took on Anderson University (1-11, 0-5 HCAC) on January 7th, 2015. The Yellow Jacket’s offense in the second half gave DC their third win in conference play.

The Yellow Jackets were off to a very slow start in the first half, allowing the Ravens to gain a five point lead only three minutes into the game and eventually an eleven-point lead. The Jackets struggled to find the basket throughout the first half, having only an 18% field goal percentage. Despite the point deficiency, DC’s defense stayed on top of the Ravens, accumulating 25 rebounds with 11 from Kelsey Teitje.
