To add to naupi's comments on Alpha Delta Pi, from our not-yet-updated-but-supposedly-will-be-soon website:
"Founded May 15 in 1851 at Wesleyan 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. Alpha Delta Pi was founded on the principles of scholarship, leadership, service to others and sisterhood. These principles still guide the policies and programs of the sorority today."
In my New Member book (which isn't at hand, unfortunately), there are some wonderful phrases that aren't in the latest NM books, such as Eugenia Tucker Fitzgerald (our Founder) finding the number of students not taking their studies seriously "painfully shocking" (bear in mind that Wesleyan College was the first college for women, and had only been available for about 15 years).
Edited for confusing my sisters!
