Heart Sunshine Reception
In fall 2012, the Alpha Xi Delta Foundation challenged all undergraduate members to make a gift of $18.93 in the Undergraduate Giving Challenge. Each person who participated in this challenge became a member of the Heart Sunshine Circle, an annual giving circle exclusively for undergraduate members. During Convention, all Heart Sunshine Circle members who were in attendance had an exclusive event where they were given the opportunity to have one-on-one time with Alpha Xi Delta Past National Presidents. Undergraduate members were able to talk with, ask questions and learn more about leadership in Alpha Xi Delta with some of our best leaders.
Ghirardelli Chocolate Obviously we had to put this on our list – it’s everywhere in San Francisco! Ghirardelli Square is a landmark with shops and restaurants in the Fisherman’s Wharf area of San Francisco. In 1893, Domingo Ghirardelli purchased the entire city block in order to make it the headquarters of the Ghirardelli Chocolate Company. In the early 1960s, the Ghirardelli Chocolate Company was bought by the Golden Grain Macaroni Company which moved the headquarters off-site to San Leandro and put the square up for sale. Since then, it’s been renovated to accommodate other businesses, but the lower floors of the Clock Tower are home to Ghirardelli Square's main chocolate shop.
