Our team
MENTAL HEALTH COMMITTEE FOUNDER
Anna Eichelberger
Hi everyone! My name is Anna Eichelberger and I’m a senior in Alpha Xi Delta. At Miami, I am co-majoring in ETBD and Professional Writing. My sophomore year, I co-founded Xi Mentality with my friend Béla after chatting with her about mental health. As someone who struggles with both OCD and anxiety, I have made an effort to share my story with others when appropriate. I believe that there is such power in vulnerability, and sharing your story has the potential to help others who may be going through something similar. Therefore, I wanted to create a space here within Alpha Xi Delta to offer sisters in our chapter a safe space to talk and confide in one another. You are never alone, always supported, and so incredibly loved. XOXi!
MENTAL HEALTH COMMITTEE FOUNDER
Béla DeLawder
Hey Hey! My name is Béla DeLawder and I am a senior here at Miami in Alpha Xi. I am majoring in speech pathology and audiology, with a minor in art therapy, and plan to graduate in December 2023. Xi Mentality was created in the Shriver Center Starbucks by my friend Anna and I after we got into a deep talk about mental health and how having safe space is so important. Personally, I have struggled with my mental health for a long time and if you know me, you know that. Coming into college, I was hesitant about joining a sorority and honestly, didn’t know much about myself yet. Obviously, I stepped out of my comfort zone and found a group of people who could make me feel safe aka my fuzzie gals. However, sitting in Starbucks with Anna, we agreed that having additional support for our sisters would be so beneficial. Being available to chat, participate in stress-free activities, see inspirational quotes, and give that boost that everyone needs is the reason we started Xi Mentality.
