There are probably no Adelphean Societies around that have a specific connection to ADPi. "Adelphean Society" (or "Adelphian Society") was a common name for literary or social societies on college campuses all over the country, some of which I'm sure still exist. "Adelphos," of course, is Greek for "brother," (Greek for sister is "adelphi"), so an Adelphean Society is simply a society of brothers or sisters.

Also, Alpha Delta Phi fraternity (and its co-ed relation, Alpha Delta Phi Society) use the name Adelphian.
