• Founder Day 2009
• Transitions Seminar 2009

Five programs have been established by the sorority to further the aims and ideals of the organization.

National Business Month National Business Month has evolved as our major program because it is the backbone of the existence of the sorority. Chapters sponsor weekly activities with a business focus. Alpha Xi Chapter presents during this month its signature program, the Bronze Awards Brunch. An outstanding woman and man in the Knoxville community are recognized as the Bronze Woman and Bronze Man of the Year. We also announce biennially our chapter Woman of the Year, who has excelled in business and whose efforts have had a positive impact on the community.	2009 Bronze Awards Click image for slide show.
Correspondence Week Correspondence Week is an internal observation of the Christmas/holiday season by chapters through the exchange of Christmas/holiday greetings.	Black History Month Black History Month has been observed by the sorority since 1929. Chapters participate in a wonderful array of activities. Alpha Xi’s activity for 2008 was the support of its Adopt-A-School, Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Technology Academy through attendance at their Black History Month Program and the donation of 61 appropriately themed books for their library.
Founder's Day Founder's Day is observed by chapters across Iota on June 1st at 6:00 p.m. This is a time for homage to our founder, Lola M. Parker, reflection of our progress through the years and rededication to our purpose and goals	American Education Week American Education Week was first celebrated nationally in 1947. It was felt that observance of this event provided Iota Phi Lambda a public forum for stressing the educational aims of the sorority and for initiating or participating in programs to promote excellence in education. Alpha Xi’s activity for American Education Week is to sponsor an Essay Contest for middle and high school students. The title for the essay is the theme selected yearly by the American Education Association. Winners of our local contest are submitted to the Iota’s National Essay Contest.
