Recruitment

As members of the fraternity/sorority community, Alpha Delta Pi is proud to welcome those who want to enhance their college experience as part of something bigger. We select and maintain membership on the basis of scholarship, leadership, commitment, and service to the work of the sorority, the university, and the community. Alpha Delta Pi actively encourages a membership which represents a diverse population and does not discriminate in membership selection procedures. Come home to Alpha Delta Pi and find women who are true and loyal, just like our blue and white colors represent. ADPi sisters are leaders and visionaries. We are SGA senators, artists, student athletes, and scholars. We are committed to sisterhood, values and ethics, high academic standards, and social responsibility. We committed to those when we established the first secret society for collegiate women in 1851 at the first university chartered to grant degrees to women. We are committed to them still today.

As members of the University of Maryland’s Panhellenic Association (PHA), we participate in Primary Recruitment each spring and are happy to open our doors to remarkable women eligible. In addition, we hold Informal Recruitment in both fall and spring semesters to expand our opportunities to bring in sisters for life.

Three of our sisters share #WHYADPi

“I wanted to join a sorority to meet new people and develop friendships that would last well beyond my years at UMD. I knew from my first fall recruitment event that ADPi was the place for me. My new sisters have been kind, supportive, welcoming, and fun! I look forward to all of the fun adventures ahead with my sisters!”
– Hannah Kries, Alpha Class Fall 2022

“Coming to ADPi during recruitment always brought me away from those repeated conversations; someone always had a fun memory with a sister they shared or a time when one of their sisters really supported them through something tough. When I came home to ADPi, I was still nervous that I wouldn’t fit in, but the more people I met, the more it felt like I was talking to people I had known for a lifetime. Getting to find my best friends through ADPi has been a priceless experience.”
– Alyson Marshall, Alpha Class Spring 2021

“Coming to a large state university from a small, all-girls high school was intimidating, and I realized that I missed the close community that I had and really valued deep friendships. While talking with sisters during my first virtual coffee date, I knew that Alpha Delta Pi was the piece missing in my life. My sisters and I have created indescribable bonds that go far beyond the four walls of the house.”
