Brooklyn Finds Her Forever Sisters at Auburn: Now Proudly an Alpha Xi Delta After a Journey of Faith and Friendship 💙🐻🩵

It’s official—Brooklyn has found her home at Auburn University, and it’s with the incredible sisterhood of Alpha Xi Delta. After a rollercoaster of a recruitment week filled with highs, lows, prayers, and unexpected turns, she’s now proudly part of a chapter that not only welcomed her with open arms, but truly reflects who she is. This wasn’t just another sorority bid—it was the culmination of a deeply personal journey. One that took strength, faith, and a whole lot of heart. For Brooklyn, becoming an Alpha Xi Delta is more than just Greek letters—it’s about finding her tribe, her people, and a place she already calls home.

The process of recruitment at a school like Auburn can be intense. It’s a week of constant movement, emotional ups and downs, introductions, parties, interviews, and decisions that can feel overwhelming. There’s no magic formula for how it’ll go, and that uncertainty can shake even the most confident students. For Brooklyn, that first day felt exciting, but quickly became humbling. This wasn’t going to be easy, and as the days unfolded, it became clear that the journey wasn’t going exactly the way she thought it would.

But what Brooklyn did next is what makes her story so powerful. Instead of panicking, withdrawing, or pretending everything was okay, she turned inward—toward her faith, her instincts, and the quiet guidance of prayer. And in one of those early mornings at Camp War Eagle, where future Auburn students gather to learn, bond, and prepare for life on campus, a moment of clarity arrived. Coach Bruce Pearl, Auburn’s beloved basketball coach, spoke to the group with passion and honesty. He told the students something simple but profound: “Call God. Call him and talk to him about whatever is on your mind.” And Brooklyn listened.

She did exactly that. She leaned on her faith in ways she maybe hadn’t expected to during recruitment. When things felt uncertain, when the direction felt unclear, she picked up that spiritual phone. She talked to God—not with some grand expectation, but with honesty and a desire to be led where she was meant to be. And in the quiet in-between moments of the week, that prayer brought her peace. Through conversations with her Pi Chi, a recruitment counselor who supported and walked with her through the process, she began to trust that what was meant to be would unfold.

That trust, that faith, and that courage are what led her to Alpha Xi Delta. And it didn’t feel forced. It didn’t feel like settling. It felt right. With each interaction she had with the young women in that chapter, Brooklyn felt a connection that ran deeper than surface-level conversation. These weren’t just girls in matching outfits—they were women who saw her, heard her, and embraced her exactly as she is. They were smart, grounded, authentic, and full of love. They asked questions that mattered. They listened with intention. And by the end of the process, Brooklyn knew. This was her place. These were her people.

Being an Alpha Xi Delta means something powerful at Auburn. It means being part of a legacy that values kindness, leadership, service, and sisterhood. It’s not about popularity or perfection—it’s about character and connection. And for Brooklyn, those values mirrored the ones she was raised with. She didn’t need a chapter that just looked good on social media—she needed a chapter that would challenge her, support her, and be by her side as she takes on the next four years of life.

It’s hard to describe what it feels like to find your place in a sea of thousands of students. Auburn is a big campus. College is a big step. But when Brooklyn received her bid to Alpha Xi Delta and walked into the arms of her new sisters, everything else faded away. There were happy tears, tight hugs, laughter, and this overwhelming sense of, “This is where I’m supposed to be.” And that’s the moment every student hopes for. To feel peace. To feel known. To feel home.

Her family watched from the sidelines with hearts full of pride and love. This wasn’t just about going Greek—it was about watching Brooklyn come into her own. She walked into recruitment nervous but hopeful. She walked out as an Alpha Xi Delta—stronger, wiser, and surrounded by women who will now be in her life for years to come. Friends who will walk through exams, football games, heartaches, and victories with her. Women who will lift her up when she’s down, cheer her on when she’s winning, and remind her of her worth when the world gets loud. For a girl who never had biological sisters, she now has dozens.

Brooklyn’s story is a reminder that life doesn’t always go the way we script it in our heads. Sometimes, it’s better. Sometimes, the detours are actually the way. She didn’t end up in the chapter she thought she would on day one—but she ended up in the one that feels like home. And that’s the win. That’s the magic of recruitment when it works the way it’s meant to. Not by popularity votes or image, but by heart connection and the right fit.

In the coming weeks, she’ll dive into the joys of Greek life at Auburn—retreats, philanthropy events, late-night talks, coffee runs, formals, study sessions, and a whole new world of community. But more than that, she’ll carry the lessons of this week with her. That faith is real. That trusting your gut matters. That God does listen. And that sometimes, the best things come when you’re willing to let go of the plan and just follow where you’re being led.

Brooklyn’s smile says it all now. It’s not just about a bid card or a chapter house—it’s about a girl who showed courage, vulnerability, and faith. A girl who leaned into uncertainty and came out stronger on the other side. A girl who’s now walking across Auburn’s campus not alone, but with sisters by her side and a future that’s just beginning.

To Brooklyn: you’ve made your family, your friends, and your new sisters proud. We can’t wait to see the incredible woman you continue to become through this next chapter—because the best stories always begin when you find your people. And now, you have. Alpha Xi Delta was waiting for you all along. 🐻🩵💙
