Learn about Alpha Delta Pi

For more than 164 years, extraordinary women have called Alpha Delta Pi home. The first secret society for women, Alpha Delta Pi, originally called the "Adelphean Society," forged the way for women in the fraternity system: Alpha Delta Pi is the mother of the modern sorority. Our founding took place at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Georgia—the first college in the world chartered to grant degrees to women. 

Today, over 250,000 members from more than 216 collegiate chapters throughout the United States and Canada are proud to call Alpha Delta Pi their home! 

A sorority of firsts, we're also a sisterhood of leaders. Sisters find Alpha Delta Pi a safe place to draw on their unique experiences and make their mark. The sorority offers members tremendous leadership opportunities as chapter officers, through Alpha Delta Pi training programs, and through the enthusiasm of sisters who support their involvement in leadership positions across campus. 

Like our diamond-shaped pin, ADPi is committed to the four points of: 
• Sisterhood 
• Values and ethics 
• High academic standards 
• Social responsibility
