Philanthropy Changed

[honeychile]

According to our website & Baird's:

1917: The Abigail Davis Student Loan fund initiated.

1919: A committee is appointed to look into child welfare work as a national philanthropy.

1941-45: During WWII, chapters were encouraged to support any and all war efforts on behalf of the Allies.

1951: Alpha Delta Pi holds its Centennial Convention at Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia. “Aid to Handicapped Children” established as National Service Project.

1979: Alpha Delta Pi adopts Ronald McDonald Houses as the National Philanthropy. (Has anyone else ever seen an old Scott Tissue products ad, with an ADPi in the background?)

1997: Alpha Delta Pi Foundation launches “Clasped Hands Fund” to assist alumnae in need.

And adpiucf has covered the rest!

Question: In regards to the Scott ad (We had a copy in our chapter scrapbook) and seeing the Kappa Delta's hand in hand with the Girl Scouts in the Recruitment thread: I was told that we had that Scott ad in our scrapbook because the NPC ruled that it was improper for an NPC sorority to be in an advertisement as such. Does anyone have an official "ruling" on that? I don't have a Green Book, or I'd look it up myself.
