Alpha Delta Pi Trivia

[honeychile]

Post some bits of trivia about ADPi here, even if you think others already know it. There's bound to be some things that your sisters didn't know!



I just recently found out that Grand Council (is it still called Grand Council?) members receive an Adelphean Badge replica to wear! I'd probably be in Pin Attire constantly!

I really wish I knew some good ADPi trivia--I hope other people post!

This is all I can think of right now...
Texas Tech's "logo" is the "double T" and our chapter was Epsilon Epsilon

so we were known as "EE @ TT"

We were always known as the Badass chapter (Beta Alpha) and we only referred to Claire Brown Gwaltney as CBG....but that's not really trivia. I can't think of anything else

The original symbol and mascot of Alpha Delta Phi was... a unicorn. I wonder where Alphie came from?

I've wondered that, too!

This isn't really ADPi trivia but I thought it was interesting trivia....

Elle and Dakota Fanning are ADPi legacies.

I saw it online somewhere and figured it was urban legend but it checked out with Pride Online. Their mom is Heather Arrington Fanning from Epsilon Pi.

Here's a random question that I haven't been able to find the answer to...

How would you spell "We live for each other" in Greek?

Awesome!

I googled it, and got "Emeis menoum ya alous".

We were taught Boethia Uper Allion (not so sure about the spelling).

That is pretty cool, but as neither seems to be going the college route I don't think we will get our legacy to become an active.

They do! One of the ladies from GC came to Phi Chapter's 100th birthday celebration, and she had on her GC Adelphean pin. She very casually took it off and handed it right to me to get a better look. I was kind of gobsmacked by that. The pin was huge and gorgeous!

Since it's Convention time, I'm hoping someone can add something to this thread...

How about a list of famous ADPi's?

[honeychile]

One of my favorites is Jean Smart, of Designing Women fame. We share a birthday, although not the year.

Jeff Foxworthy's wife Gregg is a Beta Nu and their daughter will be a Freshman at Auburn. I don't know if the daughter is going through Recruitment or not?
