Alpha Delta Pi memorabilia
 

If you will pardon my barge...

I came across some of my mother's ADPi items this past weekend and thought I would share with you a day in the life of an ADPi in 1960.

Her pledge book

Recipt for dues, housing and initiation

My personal favorite...a little sister adoption card. Are these still given?

I have some other items and photo's I will post as well.

Priceless! (I too am out of my lane...)

My favorite is the Big-Little agreement. Also, the receipt. It says to "Save Your Receipts" and she sure did!

Was she ever at UNT? I ask because the dorm name and room number on that little sister adoption slip are suspiciously close to where I lived as a freshman!

Mom did attend UNT for her freshman year and then transferred to TCU. I went back and looked through her scrapbook and it appears the little sister adoption card is for the dorm at UNT and not sorority related. I just naturally assumed it was for the sorority.

Here are a few more items.

Party schedule. She has a newspaper article that says 700 girls went through recruitment that year.

Mom was dropped and also got engaged while in school. Can someone tell me if these photo's are the dropped or engagement or maybe even a pinning? I love how everyone is wearing the same thing.

Oh, how I love what you are sharing. And I am so upset that I didn't save every little thing now. The photos look like they are standing on the entrance steps outdoors.

Could you help me understand what you meant by your mom getting dropped?

It's another term for lavaliered.

Yep, that's how we say it in the South. ;)

thanks guys! Learned something new this morning. It's a good day already!

Love it. Every ADPi chapter does it differently, so no way to know it was a dropping, pinning or engagement from the photos.

Yet another time that I wish we had a LIKE button!

Yet another time I wish my printer would work, so I could show you a postcard from EO in the 1950's (not to me, though)!

Those pictures are beautiful!

Out of my lane here too, but I agree with Honeychile, I wish we had a LIKE button.

I wonder in years to come if our daughters, will be posting our memorabilia online for future greeks to look at?

Love the white dresses and the gloves!

I haven't been regularly coming in GC, but I am happy I did today. Thank you so much for posting these great pictures.

I love that Alpha Gam was in the running to the very end. :)

I love, love, love these photos!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing!!!

I don't think I've EVER seen our colors referred to as DELPH blue and white! It's even better than the Pledge Manual that saws that Alpha Delta Pis don't paw in the back seat of cars! I guess they paw only in the front seat?

These items are so neat! :) Thanks for sharing them!

what beautiful pictures! The white dresses are so classy. Thank you for sharing <>

Lovely, thank you for sharing.

AAAAAUUUGGGHHH this is from MY CHAPTER! I didn't see the TCU mention until I recognized the dorms listed in her notes.

This just made my day.

Pi love from a Gamma Chi sister :)

My sister-in-law recently found this tucked behind a picture of my mom and my brother. I’m not sure why she decided to take the picture out, but I’m sure glad she did. Do members still receive one of these?

So cool! I absolutely love this stuff!
So at one point TCU did have houses? When I was there we were stuck in Worth Hills. They still are but are getting all new snazzy buildings.

I have an initiation certificate, they get mailed along a little while after:) Love your daughter’s badge as well-my personal badge was our red white and blue Dallas Convention badge from that year.

Picture Question
 

Momof4Girls: The photos are wonderful. Posters seem to be including fewer pictures lately. Where did you load your photos to insert them in your Greek Chat post?
