ADPi History help!!
Could someone please verify this?
"The first known secret society for women: the Adelphean Society...It was a small group, active only a few years, being suspended during the Civil War when enrollment dropped to an extremely low level. The Adelphean Society lay dormant for almost half a century before it was revived as Alpha Delta Phi in 1905, to become Alpha Delta Pi in 1913."
My questions are about "suspended" and "dormant." I thought that Adelphean continued as a local for those 50-some years. Does ADPi claim "continuous existence" since 1851, or just having been founded then?
I'm not slamming you. I'm trying to refute someone else's statement and want to get my facts straight.
Thanks!!

(and wondering if "suspended" and "dormant" apply to the Philomatheans as well)
