On May 15, 1851, at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Georgia, six young women<br />
desiring <strong>to</strong> enhance themselves mentally, morally, and socially, came <strong>to</strong>gether and founded<br />
Alpha delta Pi, the first secret society for college women.<br />
The Eta Pi chapter was chartered at <strong>Virginia</strong><br />
<strong>Tech</strong> on April 21, 1990. Each year<br />
it contributes <strong>to</strong> AdPi’s international philanthropy,<br />
the Ronald Mcdonald House,<br />
through a week-long event known as Safari<br />
Hunt. This past year, over $4,000 was<br />
raised <strong>to</strong> benefit the Ronald Mcdonald<br />
House in Roanoke, <strong>Virginia</strong>.<br />
The Eta Pi chapter has received much national<br />
and local recognition for strengths<br />
and accomplishments. Alpha delta Pi has been recognized by the Greek community for<br />
Best Sisterhood, Highest GPA, and has also received the Panhellenic Cup of Excellence<br />
Award, the most prestigious award a chapter can receive from Panhellenic Council at<br />
<strong>Virginia</strong> <strong>Tech</strong>.<br />
Nationally, it has been recognized with the Excellence Award, given <strong>to</strong> chapters that show<br />
outstanding accomplishments with leadership, member education, finance, and campus<br />
involvement. It is currently striving <strong>to</strong> become a Golden Lion Hall of Fame chapter, the<br />
most prestigious national award for Alpha delta Pi chapters.<br />
Alpha delta Pi’s mascot is Alphie the lion,<br />
and its flower is a Woodland Violet. The<br />
official badge consists of a black enamel<br />
diamond displaying clasped hands, two<br />
stars, and its Greek letters. Its open mot<strong>to</strong>,<br />
“We live for each other,” truly displays the<br />
founding principles of Alpha delta Pi, with<br />
which come the never-ending feelings of love,<br />
friendship, and sisterhood that will continue<br />
<strong>to</strong> grow forever.<br />
Alpha, delta, Pi: What do these three<br />
words mean <strong>to</strong> you? To thousands of women<br />
internationally, they mean the beginning<br />
of something new, the opportunity for lifechanging<br />
experiences, and the relationships<br />
which have changed their lives forever.<br />
