About the chapter

Founded as the first secret society for college aged women, Alpha Delta Pi has served the purpose of fostering a community of genuine friendships, academic excellence, and service to others. The Pi Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi, founded in 1911, welcomes women into a community where they belong and can be their true authentic selves while building character and personal relationships.

“Our sisterhood is rooted in genuine connection, shared purpose, and a deep commitment to helping one another grow. Within Pi Chapter, women find a place where they can lead with confidence, pursue academic excellence, and build friendships that feel both grounding and lifelong. The bonds we form are strengthened by compassion, loyalty, and the simple joy of showing up for each other in every season of life. We live for each other.”
Gabrielle Townsend, 2026 Chapter President
