History

Alpha Delta Pi holds the distinction of being the first secret society in the world for college women. We were founded on May 15, 1851, at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Georgia. The original name of the sorority was the "Adelphean Society." The word "Adelphean" is derived from the Greek word meaning sister.

The qualifications for membership have remained unchanged through the years -- scholarship, high principles of behavior and true friendships.

The Sorority reached its centennial in 1951, and celebrated with a Centennial Convention. The Memorial Headquarters were dedicated in 1955, and still remain in Atlanta. In 1979, the Sorority designated the Ronald McDonald House as its National Philanthropy, and in 1983 the Sorority established the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation, Inc.

The 150th Anniversary Convention and celebration took place in Atlanta, GA, from June 28 - July 2, 2001.
