The Xi Kappa Chapter-at-Large was chartered in May 1994 with more than 260 professional nurses as members. The Chapter is affiliated with the Nursing Departments at Jamestown College, Minnesota State University Moorhead, North Dakota State University and Concordia College. Members include senior nursing students, graduate nursing students, and community leaders in the profession.
