About Us

Alpha Delta Pi is proud to be the first secret society exclusively for women. Founded on May 15, 1851, at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Georgia, our sorority is rich with tradition and sisterhood. Alpha Delta Pi sisters strive for excellence in philanthropy, academic performance, and campus leadership. In keeping with our motto, We Live for Each Other, our members have found a place for support, shared values, and personal development. Opportunities abound for the sisters of Alpha Delta Pi, and we look forward to sharing them with you.

Chapter History

The Theta Delta Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi was founded at the University of Delaware on May 3, 2008, with 115 founding sisters. Kim Lane has the honor of being Theta Delta’s first president. An alumna of the Theta Delta chapter is Ali McDonough. After the passing of her brother Andrew at age 14 from pediatric cancer, Ali and her family started the B+ Foundation. In 2010, Theta Delta adopted the B+ Foundation as our local philanthropy. The Alpha Delta Pi sorority house’s current address is 303 David Hollowell Drive, Newark, DE 19716.

 
Hear from Our Big/Little Duos
“I grew up with only one big brother, and when I was going through recruitment, the thing I was most excited for was to get a big, because I’ve always wanted a big sister. Adrianna goes above and beyond what I could have ever imagined. I don’t know how I ever lived without her by my side. I’m so thankful for ADPi everyday, for not only giving me my big sister but best friend for life.” – Amanda Phelan

“When I met Madeline on bid night, I was hoping we would be friends, but I could have never imagined how important she would become to me! Madeline is the best listener and always sends me good luck before every single one of my exams because she knows I get nervous. I know I can show up at her door at any time and she will accept me with open arms. She is the kindest and most genuine person I know. As my first true friend in Adpi, she’s been my shoulder to cry on and has really made me feel at home in this chapter. I feel so incredibly lucky to have her in my life!” – Anna Stratton

“Shay and I met during recruitment, and I still remember walking up to her right after I gave a speech with my Gbig. She was crying about how our speech resonated with her, and we instantly clicked. From that moment, I couldn’t stop thinking about her. On bid day, we literally ran into each other’s arms, and it just felt right. From the start, she made me feel like I could be my real, unfiltered self around her, and she brings me out of my shell in the best way. After our big/little date, I knew without a doubt she was the only girl I wanted as my little. The kindness and genuine charm she shows to everyone around her inspire me to be a better woman every single day, and her loyalty and love are exactly what ADPi needs.” – Priscilla Palmiotto
