[ADPi Conniebama]

OK, I will tread lightly when typing this . . .

At DLC we discussed the religious nature of ADPi's ritual and other issues . . . . . . .

I typed a whole bunch of stuff, then re-read it and I chose to delete it because I felt that it was "too much."

So, I will just put it like this. "Founded May 15, 1851 at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Georgia, Alpha Delta Pi holds the distinction of being the first secret society for women and the mother of today’s sorority system. We were founded on the principles of scholarship, leadership, service to others and sisterhood. These principles still guide the policies and programs of the sorority today."

Wesleyan was a Methodist College and therefore we started out with Methodist ideology. (sp?) I see no reason for any one sister or one group of sisters to take it upon theirselves to "change" what ADPi holds so dear. At DLC questions were asked and answered of making changes to "things" and they were denied. ADPi isn't the Baptist Student Union or the Wesleyan Organization, however our history is based on "Christian Womanhood." I respect my Jewish ADPi sisters and hope that they will choose to respect the historical aspects of ADPi as well as the "principles" set by our founders and that "still guide" ADPi today.
