ABOUT ALPHA DELTA PI
FIRST. FINEST. FOREVER.
Alpha Delta Pi is unique in being the oldest secret society for collegiate women in the world. Originally named The Adelphean Society, it was chartered by Eugenia Tucker Fitzgerald at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Georgia in 1851. Since then The Alpha Delta Pi Sorority has flourished into an international organization with 160+ active chapters, and its founding principles of scholarship, leadership, sisterhood, and service continue to guide collegiate members and alumnae. Our sisters are honored to be a part of this long and rich heritage.

OUR CREED
I BELIEVE in Alpha Delta Pi.
I BELIEVE that my sorority is more than a ritual or a symbol; that it is a way of life.
I BELIEVE that the principles established by our founders in 1851 are enduring attributes, exemplifying the highest ideals of Christian womanhood.
I BELIEVE that our motto, "We Live for Each Other", expresses the true spirit of fraternity; and that by living this motto my life will be enriched by true friendships and by unselfish service to mankind.
I BELIEVE that the privelege of membership in Alpha Delta Pi brings the responsibility to do my best in whatever I undertake, always remembering that leadership requires confidence tempered with humility and courage blended with tolerance.
I BELIEVE that I must strive to become a well-balanced person by following the dictates of the four points symbolized by our diamond-shaped badge: first, strengthening my own character and personality; second, watching my attitudes to ward my fellow-beings; third, recognizing the value of high educational standards; and fourth, developing faith and loyalty.
I BELIEVE that these four guide-posts, guarded by the stars and friendly hands clasped in the Adelphean bonds of fellowship will lead me to achieve a rich and useful life.
