Alpha Delta Pi History
Founded May 15, 1851 at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Georgia, Alpha Delta Pi holds the distinction of being the first secret society for women and the mother of today's sorority system. We were founded on the principles of scholarship, leadership, service to others and sisterhood. These principles still guide the policies and programs of the sorority today. To date, Alpha Delta Pi has initiated more than 182,500 women, many of whom are actively involved in one of our over 130 collegiate chapters or 150 alumnae associations throughout the United States and Canada.
Symbols of Sisterhood
Official Flower: The Woodland Violet, which grows wild, is the official flower. Because it is unavailable for purchase, African Violets are often used to symbolize the Woodland Violet.
Official Colors: Azure blue and white are the official colors of Alpha Delta Pi. Blue is symbolic of friendship, the basic spirit upon which Alpha Delta Pi is founded. White symbolizes sincerity and truth. Alpha Delta Pi seeks these qualities in all its members.
Philanthropy: Alpha Delta Pi's all over the world are dedicated to supporting the Ronald McDonald House. The idea behind the Ronald McDonald House is simple - It is to provide 'a home away from home' for the families of seriously ill children who are receiving treatment at nearby hospitals. We support the Ronald McDonald House by donating the money that we make from our philanthropy events (such as our annual 8-Ball tournament, cooking dinners for the families, visiting with the children and collecting pop-tabs.)
Our most recent contribution was over $3200 to help fund the new Longfellow Ronald McDonald House being built in Downtown Kansas City.
