Alpha Delta Pi is pleased to offer a variety of experiences for members to learn, grow, and develop their leadership skills within our sisterhood. In addition to chapter programming and education, members have the opportunity to engage in leadership development and training available through the International Organization.
Alpha Delta Pi conventions are the biennial meeting of our governing body. Every other summer, in even numbered years, the convention delegation, assembled of alumnae and collegiate members, gathers together for fun and sisterhood, and more importantly, sorority business. The first convention was assembled in 1906 in Macon, Georgia.
Conventions are steeped in tradition. To open convention, sisters march in the Adelphean Processional, with everyone marching into the opening session wearing white outfits and blue ribands bearing our motto, “We Live for Each Other.” At the very first convention, a series of meaningful toasts were offered and since then, silver toasting cups are raised by the delegates at each convention. At the final banquet, delegates rise to the chapter roll call, then sing Alpha Delta Pi songs in a candlelight recessional as the traditional convention closing.
Alpha Delta Pi will celebrate our 175th Anniversary Grand Convention in 2026.
ADPi Academy is our annual chapter officer training. Held in winter, our new chapter leaders gather for leadership and skill development in the context of Alpha Delta Pi operational areas, which will supplement virtual officer training and chapter leadership transition workshops. Sisters gain skills to enable them to excel in their leadership roles and navigate challenges facing collegiate women today.
The Education and Programs Team works with volunteer content teams to develop the programming tracks based on trends from Member Experience, and the program is funded thanks to a grant from the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation.
ADPi Academy will be held in Dallas, TX and Atlanta, GA in January 2025.
