My pledge manual from 1987 doesn't mention ADPi either.

I thought most/all NPC members' manuals listed all NPC sororities. So when y'all say that AOII's "doesn't mention ADPi" do you mean at all? Or just not as the first secret society for women.

It doesn't mention ADPi in the history section when it talks about the first women's organizations. ADPi is listed as an NPC member.

I don't remember Advantage listing the other NPCs. Encounter might have, but that was before my time.

I have copies of both Advantage and Encounter. Encounter lists all of the other NPC's but Advantage doesn't, which is one of the reasons why I don't like it.

Advantage is more about learning about yourself, and your college/life experience (time management, relationship building, etc)...from what I've heard Encounter is more geared toward education of the pledge about the sorority history, which I think I would have enjoyed more than the touchy-feely getting in touch with yourself stuff.

That's how I feel about it. In my opinion, it focuses too much on the creed and not enough on anything else.

The Alpha Gam New Member Manual used to be on the Member Services (initiated members only) under a VST newsletter (from IVP-Collegians) but it was removed last year when it was updated. I don't know if they have plans to repost it or have already put it somewhere I haven't located yet.  )

There is a section with the badges of each NPC and ADPi is on there, but it wasn't mentioned as a "first" sorority.
