International History

    For more than 150 years, extraordinary women have called Alpha Delta Pi home. Originally called the “Adelphean Society,” Alpha Delta Pi was the first secret society for women and forged the way for women in the fraternity system. Our founding took place at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Georgia – the first college in the world chartered to grant degrees to women. We continue to initiate progress throughout the fraternity system, being the first sorority to offer a shortened new member education program.

    Alpha Delta Pi also builds and fosters a sisterhood of leaders. Sisters find Alpha Delta Pi a safe place to draw on their unique experiences and make their mark. We offer members the opportunity to obtain leadership experience as chapter officers as well as through sisters who are involved in various organizations on campus.

    Beginning with six young women and now including over 200,000 initiated members and more than 190 collegiate chapters throughout the United States and Canada, Alpha Delta Pi has expanded beyond belief while staying true to its founding ideals: scholarship, high principles of behavior and true friendships.

 
UK Alpha Delta Pi House Trivia - Did you know?
  • The old dining room is now the TV room!
  • The four girl room is the old kitchen.
  • The house mother's apartment used to connect through to room #1.
  • Mom Candace's apartment used to be a library and study for the ADPis.
  • The chapter room used to be locataed what is now the "Ricki Room" in the basement.  If you look at the floor below the left wall, there is a blue border framing the ADPi letters in front of a small platform, where the officers sat.
  • On the outside of the house, behind the large holly tree on the Rose St. side, is a diamond shape stamped with ADPi in the center.  You don't know it's there until you look for it!  Now, thanks to a very generous parent's hard work this summer, the lighting around the house includes a spotlight on this stone at night.
