Alpha Delta Pi
from The Torch 2023
Panhellenic Council
Alpha Delta Pi, founded in 1851 at Wesleyan Female College, was the first secret society of women. At the Alpha Kappa Chapter, we are a sisterhood of friends, a family of individuals, and a home away from home. Installed at UT in 1920, we have thrived on campus for more than 100 years, embracing every woman’s uniqueness, encouraging and supporting each other’s goals and dreams, and valuing character.
The Alpha Delta Pi - Alpha Kappa Chapter at the University of Tennessee is a sisterhood of roughly 380 members. Every single woman is celebrated by being her full self, and it is an absolute joy to see these women grow together into confident leaders. Members strive to better themselves throughout campus and other organizations such as Ambassadors, the Lady Vols Basketball Team, All Campus Events, and many more!
Alpha Kappa was the first ADPi chapter to collaborate with Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). As a chapter, we continue to come together for the philanthropic effort in support of RMHC through events such as ADPi-Hop and Walk for Ronald.
Alpha Kappa was named a 2-time 3-star chapter from SOFE (Standards Of Fraternal Excellence) standings this past academic school year. Alpha Kappa continues to focus on academic importance, and we are proud to be among the top two GPAs in the Panhellenic community. We are full of genuine, passionate, caring, courageous, and hilarious women.
