Alpha Delta Pi has 6 founders. We were founded in 1851. All of them were around the ages of 15 or 16. Most of them started college when they were 13. So we have very young founders who started such an amazing organization. As well as being the FIRST ever sorority started. Smart girls for that age.
It is so amazing to think that a 16 year old started the first ever sorority in the world. They paved the way for all sororities after.

We had seven founders. They were all 18 or 19 years old, but that's just a guess. They were all freshmen or sophomores, of that much I am sure.

Lemme 'lone.
But honestly, I'm not even going to pretend to remember the ages of all 16. I know the average age was 25.

In November of 1995, two of the Founding Sisters were 17 (they must have skipped a grade in when they were younger), 9 were 18, 1 was 19 and I was 22.

"Certain" things are, like our initiation ceremony. We were founded by students at Syracuse University, so it's pretty obvious what their ages were.

i understand, i'm sure folks can have a general area....but you know...during "creative educational learning sessions," we were explicitly told that certain things never left the hearts of Iotas.

Two of our founders were sophomores, the other five were juniors, so I suspect they were all 19-20 years old.

Why would their ages be considered esoteric  If anything I would think the ages would be helpful in understanding their frame of mind while creating the organization.

Cosign.
Also, when considering the time period in which our organizations were founded and the ages of most Af-Am college students during that point in time...I don't see the point of secrecy. Also, the general ages of Iota founders is often stated...and frankly something I admire about them.
