of Adelphean Society Alpha Delta
Phi was organized in 1851 by Mrs
Eugenia Tucker Fitzgerald, Miss DC.
tayia Rush, and Mrs. Mary Evans
Glass, at Wesleyan University. Ma.
con, Georgia. 1t was the first secret
society ever organized for women
but did not become a Greek letter
society until 1903 In that year il
became Greek letter sorority for
women and changed it's name to the
Greek, Alpha Delta Phi
Up until this time, owing to d
strong feeling OF conservatism, it had
not extended its roll outside Of the
mother chapter, but in 1903 it began
at once to extend it's territory until at
present it consists OF / 8 active chap
ters While not having large
chapter roll it is nevertheless a
strong sorority in every respect.
Most of the chapters own their own
houses and are on very strong fin
ancial basis. The open motto of the
sorority is I'VE live for each other. -
The colors are pale blue and white,
and the flower a single blue violet.

In the passing of Theta Kappa we
can not help but feel a little regret,
but we all know that Alpha Delta
Phi will hereafter stand for and al
ways be what Theta Kappa has been
before them--a good time and a fine
crowd of girls. So we all extend our
heartiest congratulations and best
wishes to our second national soror-
ity, Alpha Delta Phi
