This House Resolution celebrates the 175th anniversary of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority, which was founded as the Adelphean Society on May 15, 1851, at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Georgia. It holds historical significance as the first secret society for college women , established at the first college chartered to grant degrees to women. The sorority's mission is to provide women with a meaningful lifelong experience, empowering them through leadership, educational, philanthropic, and social opportunities, guided by core values of sisterhood, service, character, and knowledge. With over 290,000 lifetime initiates, Alpha Delta Pi has established chapters at more than 220 colleges and universities across the United States and Canada, supported by 165 active alumnae associations. The organization consistently raises over $1,000,000 annually for Ronald McDonald House and its collegians log over 300,000 community service hours each year. The resolution acknowledges the diverse contributions of its members to education, science, the arts, athletics, government, and business, including notable alumnae such as Academy Award winners, Olympians, and United States Representatives.
