St. Louis ADPi Alumnae History

National History
Alpha Delta Pi holds the distinction of being the first secret society in the world for college women. We were founded on May 15, 1851, at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Georgia. The original name of the sorority was the "Adelphean Society." The word "adelphean" is derived from the
Greek word meaning sister.

The Adelphean Society flourished throughout the years and in 1904 the members voted to become national and in 1905 changed their name to Alpha Delta Phi. In 1913 it was changed to Alpha Delta Pi because of continued confusion with a mens' fraternity of the same name.

The chapter at Wesleyan was called the Alpha chapter since it was established first. Within two years after nationalization, four new chapters were installed. The chapter roll has continued to grow since that time with the addition of new chapters. Today there are more than 130 chapters located throughout the United States and Canada.
