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 />
