About Us

Alpha Delta Pi is proud to be the first secret society exclusively for women. Founded on May 15, 1851, at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Georgia, our sorority is rich with tradition and sisterhood. Alpha Delta Pi sisters strive for excellence in philanthropy, academic performance, and campus leadership. In keeping with our motto, We Live for Each Other, our members have found a place for support, shared values, and personal development. Opportunities abound for the sisters of Alpha Delta Pi, and we look forward to sharing them with you.

The Beta Tau Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi at the University of Akron was founded in 1938. Coming home to Alpha Delta Pi means finding women who are genuine and loyal. Whether you are looking to become involved on campus, undecided about a major, or wanting to find your life-long friends, the sisters of Alpha Delta Pi are there to support that. Membership includes that opportunity to share the bond of sisterhood through the experiences of college. We are committed to sisterhood, service, scholarship and leadership, and hold each other accountable. Within the chapter, members find friendship, support, leadership opportunities, and of course, fun. The bonds built in Alpha Delta Pi last a lifetime. We truly live for each other.
