1898 Chi Omega, a national sorority, attempted to enter Wesleyan Female College. Wanting the best women on campus, the Chi Omegas tried to incorporate the Adelpheans and the Philomatheans into their sorority. Instead of being absorbed, the Adelpheans and Philomatheans both decided to become a national organizations. (Which they both became in 1904)
this was also on that website...
1911-17 The convention produced committees on developing the whistle, symbols, and insignia and adopted a regulation flag. The unicorn was adopted as a symbol and mascot of Alpha Delta Phi. I am ONLY asssuming after the name was changed to Alpha Delta Pi in 1913 the mascot may have changed with it too? or just added... I am only guessing here guys! help me ADP's!
now... this came off a ADP website I have no reason to think it is false, however if something is wrong...correct me!

Everything you mentioned is correct, but I believe our mascot did not actually change to the lion until later...And we changed our name from Alpha Delta Phi to Alpha Delta Pi in 1913 because we found at the time there was a fraternity by that name.
