Actually, ADPi is a sorority officially.
Not sure when it was added to our official title. May be something to do with when it was incorporated in the state of Georgia?
Forgive my cryptic-ness. It's early!!!

It changed when ADPi became ADPi instead of Alphadelphian (sp?) Society.

actually, no. it became a sorority, because when we changed our name from Alpha Delta Phi to Alpha Delta Pi, it was already 1913, and the term sorority was in use. I would assume that when we made the change from Adelphean to ADPhi in 1905 it was sorority then as well, but I have no clue.

In response to Alum's OP:
Do you have Adope Photoshop or some other picture program?
It should be fairly easy to insert text into a blank canvas in a bold script, and make it however large you wanted it to be for your pattern. Depending on your program, you may even be able to make your text be a hollowed out dotted line such as the greek letter patterns are.

Oh for crying out loud in a bucket, when did the PC Panda sit his fat bamboo eating butt down at GC?
macallan, alum likes referring to her group as a "women's fraternity" because it makes her feel superior.

One of my Chi Omega friends explained the "women's fraternity/sorority" thing to me like this.
Many sororities were originally founded as "Little Sister" organizations to a men's fraternity. The term women's fraternity was chosen to distinguish themselves as independent from any men's group.
That is what I was told and it makes sense to me.

Your Chi Omega friend was getting her history muddled and repeating a Greek urban legend,
