Alpha Delta Pi was originally founded as the Adelphean Society at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Georgia on May 15, 1851.
The six founders were:
Eugenia Tucker Fitzgerald
Octavia Andrew Rush
Ella Pierce Turner
Mary Evans Glass
Sophronia Woodruff Dews
Elizabeth Williams Mitchell
The name was changed to Alpha Delta Phi in 1905, and in order to avoid confusion with the fraternity with the letters Alpha Delta Phi, the name changed again to Alpha Delta Pi in 1913.
The sisterhood of Alpha Delta Pi continues strong in its traditions 153 years later!
