Motto: We live for each other

	Alpha:  Alpha is Greek for the beginning, and not only is Alpha Delta Pi the first secret society for women, but it also began at the first college chartered to grant degrees to women, Wesleyan College for Women.  Not only did the Adelpheans become a forerunner for the sorority system, but they also played an important role in the advancement of education for the American female.  Women that are undergoing the education process to become initiated into Alpha Delta Pi are called Alpha members.
	Delta:  Delta represents change in geometry, and Alpha Delta Pi has been at the forefront of the sorority system that has helped to change and improve the lives of women throughout the nation for well over a century.  Our initiated collegiate members are referred to as Delta members, signifying the development of life skills that our members acquire during their collegiate years in Alpha Delta Pi.
	Pi:  In geometry, Pi represents infinity. Just as Alpha Delta Pi has been in existence since 1851, we anticipate continuing strong throughout time. Our college graduate sisters are referred to as Pi members, signifying the unending sisterhood of Alpha Delta Pi.  In this way Alpha Delta Pi truly is “First, Finest, Forever.”
