Hello! My name is Jenna Horton. I am a Junior at UWL and I am taking on the role of the Delta Alpha President this year! I am so delighted to be taking on this position in our chapter. I initiated into Alpha Xi Delta in the Spring of 2013 as a freshman and I have been in love with the organization ever since. During my time in the chapter I have held some great positions! I have held the positions of Chaplain, Panhellenic Director of Scholarship and GAMMA, New Member Orientation Chair and now Chapter President. I have seen our chapter grow so much in the two years I have been a part and I cannot wait to see it grow even more. I have grown so much in Alpha Xi Delta and I am truly blessed to be part of such a wonderful organization. Please feel free to contact me at any time! Fraternally, Jenna Horton
