Thanks to the generous support of alumnae, chapters, family and Foundation friends, endowments are created to support sisters in a variety of ways. The following endowments are available specifically for Xi Chapter.

Consider a donation to these endowments to give more sisters the extra financial boost to pursue their dreams.


SPECIAL ENDOWMENTS

The Marie Ann Schlemmer Hill Endowed Scholarship benefits sisters of Xi Chapter and was established by Elizabeth Kelley Schneider, Xi '65, in honor of Marie's sisterhood, loyalty and service to Alpha Gamma Delta.  

The Leadership Endowment for Xi Chapter was created by Gail Calkins Duree, Epsilon Gamma '65, and her mother in 1998, in support of leadership development opportunities for collegiate members of Xi Chapter.

The Calkins Duree Scholarship was established by Gail Calkins Duree, Epsilon Gamma, in celebration and honor of the importance of education to Gail’s mother, Lois Braden Calkins, Xi. This scholarship will support Xi sisters pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree.
