Welcome!

At Alpha Delta Pi, we are a sisterhood of friends, a family of individuals, and a home away from home. We embrace every woman's uniqueness, we encourage and support each other's goals and dreams, and we value character above all else. Founded in 1851 at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Georgia, Alpha Delta Pi was the first secret society for women.

FIRST

The Adelphean Society was founded on May 15th, 1851 at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Georgia. This society was the first secret society for women, at the first University to offer degrees to women. Our history of leading the way for women in leadership continues through to this day, as we continue to “Be the First.”
