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.

Welcome to the Beta Theta Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi! My name is V Gopakumar and I am truly honored and thrilled to serve as the President of our chapter for the year!

It was during a boring night in my dorm room, in search of some social interaction that I was steered towards ADPi. There was a Stand Up comedy event that a group of people were attending that my friend and I had signed up for – only to later find out that it was a recruitment event! Over the next few days, I was educated on Greek Life, sorority life and Beta Theta values. I think it is safe to say that I was taught from the bottom, as I had no prior knowledge of Greek Life. I had no idea what I was getting into, but I knew it would be one of a kind of a journey, and so far, it has been! I have learned so much about my chapter and ADPi, but also so much more about myself as an individual and my capabilities. I have had the opportunity to grow and develop many of my skills, professionally and socially, which have further opened many doors for me – from part time jobs, to being comfortable in large group settings, to sending out professionally worded emails!

As I look back on my 3 years with Beta Theta, it surprises me how far I have come! From being a quiet introvert, to being able to hold conversations with people, to now – being President! Not only has the chapter introduced me to many talented women whom I would call friends for life, but it has also taught me leadership in the most graceful, passionate, and confident way. I was greeted with acceptance and warmth from the moment I joined the chapter as an Alpha. Giving me the opportunity to serve as the Vice President of Member Development for almost 2 years, before I was given the responsibility and honor to serve as Beta Theta President. This is the kind of environment, as President, I would like to nurture. I love being able to help my sisters achieve their goals and therefore creating this encouraging and safe space in Beta Theta for them to achieve this is of utmost importance to me. Every Beta Theta sister has something to contribute to our chapter, but also to my own personal characteristic – be it a quality, a leadership style, a hobby, compassion, shared interest, or even an idea. Being a part of this chapter has been a journey at the most which I hold close to my heart.

I have made many wonderful memories and meaningful connections with my sisters, and I hope to continue creating them. As you learn more about our sorority, you will see that it is not just for four years, but for life! We are so happy you are here, and we hope to share all our opportunities and experiences with you as well!

With Love,

V Gopakumar
