Making the most of it requires deep support and connection. Xi is full of people who not only help each other through academic rigors, but inspire each other to reach new heights. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600e31b73c156d341b5680a2/1611815690454-2CWP13JRZLMOIKCVWGCA/0_home_2.jpg Values - We engage as members of a strong community Xi is more than just a place to live — it is a Home. We study together, eat together, play together, and work together both inside and outside of the house. We build ties that sustain us during our time at MIT and last for the rest of our lives. We become a part of a tradition that has already passed its centennial mark. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600e31b73c156d341b5680a2/1611815724155-FWVN248T6FQJSLJEMETY/0_home_11.jpg Values - We improve Xi through service and leadership The residents of Xi are not just renters — we are the landlords, housekeepers, chefs, planners, stewards, wardens, and more. There are many jobs to do, and we step up to do them all. This strengthens bonds and builds us into mature adults, ready for the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600e31b73c156d341b5680a2/1611815772894-G7JZ0VZWQK75GI53HYVG/0_tour.jpg Values - We try new things True creativity goes against convention. At Xi, we make a wide space to be unconventional. This is a place to experiment, learn, introspect, and grow as individuals. We are open-minded and excited to share in all of the things we learn about ourselves along the way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600e31b73c156d341b5680a2/6f873aea-27cb-43e6-bd83-d90bd13fbb4a/20191011_163931%280%29.jpg Values - We help each other reach our dreams We don’t have a formula for the “right” way to succeed at MIT. Each person has their own view of what they want to do and become. At Xi, we respect and support the passions and dreams of our fellows (as long as their dreams don’t involve burning the house down). https://xi.mit.edu/alums daily 0.75 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600e31b73c156d341b5680a2/1611812489323-SOKOJ0OHFJM70PCBGJXA/20191005_191804-2.jpg Alums tEp/Xi’s Xicentennial (100th Anniversary) Dinner at Walker Memorial https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600e31b73c156d341b5680a2/1611810535087-JXR4OZNWWIHHG0I09JWO/IMGP3143-2.jpg Alums Alumni Retreat https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600e31b73c156d341b5680a2/1611811022904-VALB9WQHA2XSUQUWNW7B/TepTalks.png Alums TEP TALKS https://xi.mit.edu/fqa daily 0.75 2025-01-31 https://xi.mit.edu/tour daily 0.75 2023-12-10 https://xi.mit.edu/rush-s22 daily 0.75 2025-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600e31b73c156d341b5680a2/1611811017956-IVPAT4GZ9T1WH14VGGWW/gallery0.jpg Rush https://xi.mit.edu/living daily 0.75 2025-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600e31b73c156d341b5680a2/1612564173490-K9GQ7S2DYZL7YJ4V4NLZ/neutral-buoyancy-22.jpg Living - FQA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600e31b73c156d341b5680a2/1612564074493-Q1B5LZM2WEK1ZPRDIK0G/IMG_4356.jpg Living - House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600e31b73c156d341b5680a2/1612457177470-VO2OMQBAGR995S9612PW/0_home_13.jpg Living - Stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600e31b73c156d341b5680a2/1612457227100-XR715QEPFYSWD4UQD12K/dusty.jpg Living - Photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600e31b73c156d341b5680a2/1612834817531-BP3IW3JDDYN1VL6VZDZ5/centennial+quill+banner.png Living https://xi.mit.edu/stories daily 0.75 2023-12-10 https://xi.mit.edu/photos daily 0.75 2024-01-30 https://xi.mit.edu/apply daily 0.75 2026-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600e31b73c156d341b5680a2/1625702932634-ZTTU9F15QU5RUXYISURF/0_contact.jpg Apply https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600e31b73c156d341b5680a2/ed9420bb-cfdc-4b31-8467-0da141fa67ff/no+background.png Apply - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://xi.mit.edu/social daily 0.75 2025-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600e31b73c156d341b5680a2/25812189-180d-4167-918c-609e1010c9e0/JPEG+image-400F-B9A8-A6-0.jpeg Social https://xi.mit.edu/contact daily 0.75 2024-08-30 https://xi.mit.edu/fambly daily 0.75 2025-08-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600e31b73c156d341b5680a2/1744733472419-90X7BJ653H8Q54PK2HFO/signal-2025-02-22-16-33-25-117.jpg Fambly - 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600e31b73c156d341b5680a2/1725043077952-P6VWBZUT4F0DL3O2DKWJ/_TNA4111.jpg Fambly - 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600e31b73c156d341b5680a2/1612042066473-IL3TLMLFKK6BH4H8DGSB/3_housemembers_3.jpg Fambly - 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600e31b73c156d341b5680a2/1612042046006-7Y3PWIAYUJYR2GW3KI57/IMG_5071.jpg Fambly - 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600e31b73c156d341b5680a2/1612042054210-N7XYW21X8TGHVL8GNMWO/20180318_175125.jpg Fambly - 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600e31b73c156d341b5680a2/0bf3881c-122f-41be-961e-a4c0e3db4c9e/Photo+of+me.png+-+alonso+hernandez.jpeg Fambly - Alonso “Fly!
