Meet a New Sister...

Meet Mirai!!

We had a secret ceremony at our last Holiday party to announce a special sister's engagement and now she's happily married after a gorgeous ceremony on a hot air balloon!  The weather wasn't clear enough to take off during the wedding so they stayed tethered to the ground, and Mirai's Mother thought that was a hilarious metaphor for marriage.  Good thing Dean and Mirai are good sports!  The fun is not over, as they still have receptions in Pennsylvania, Malaysia, Singapore, and Tokyo.  All in all Mirai will wear her dress 5 times!

A fabulously talented actress, Mirai has done a variety of great work in LA, including an intense interactive media experience called Killcam:Live where she was locked in a room for three days while audience members chatted with her online and waited to see how her character would be killed! (Crazy, right?!  Ask her about it!)

She was Born in Japan and raised in Singapore, then went to school at Elon University in NC where she remembers watching the Alpha Xi Delta house literally shake during recruitment from all the stomping and clapping.  She felt a big YES to belonging right there, and we're so glad she did!  She loved her days on campus, but has been even more involved as an alumni in LA.  Her favorite events have been the Sound of Music Sing-a-long and the cookie decorating holiday party.

Mirai is coordinating the summer event, the Beach Potluck in Santa Monica, so be sure to look for her beautiful face and brilliant smile there.  You won't want to miss the chance to hang with such a fun, radiant and beloved sister.

Meet a New Sister

Angela!

Angela is a loyal, loving, sincere friend who's beautiful smiling face is often seen at Alumnae events.  She was initiated into the Delta Rho Chapter at Cal State University, Northridge in 1998.  She loved Alpha Xi Delta so much that she actually had our letters tattooed on her body!  (Ask her to show you next time you see her).  Her love of helping others drew her to speech-language pathology and after graduation in Spring '05 with her Master's Degree in hand, she set off to do just that and has been working for the LA Unified School District ever since.  She also continues to give back to Alpha Xi Delta  as the current Academics adviser to the Delta Rho Chapter and the Secretary for the Alumnae Association.

When she's not in LA, Angela's often in another country altogether.  She has an amazing adventurous spirit and a passion for travel.  She tries to take at least one big trip per year - how awesome is that?!  Some of her favorite destinations include much of South America, most of Central America, Scotland, England, Italy, France, Spain, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines, New Zealand, and Australia.  She's already planning her next destination, either South Africa or Eastern Europe! She also loves concerts and has been known to drive as far as Phoenix Arizona just to catch a really good show.  Some faves include Kid Rock, System of a Down, Stone Temple Pilots, and Deftones.

Angela is an exceptional and amazing person, and has a huge heart for Alpha Xi Delta.  Be sure to look out for her at our next alumnae event.  You won't want to miss the opportunity to know such a gem!
