Alpha Delta Pi welcomes a new semester


It’s a new semester, and the sisters of Alpha Delta Pi have jam-packed as they prepare for their three-day fall philanthropy event, Safari Hunt, prepare for Recruitment 2012, and participate in the colonization of two newest chapters of Alpha Delta Pi at Christopher Newport University and James Madison University.

Eta Pi unveiled new recruitment photos at the beginning of the semester. 

Unfortunately, sisters were unable to visit Christopher Newport University to welcome new members due to time constraints. However, Eta Pi chapter is excited to visit James Madison University later in September to assist their newest sisters.

Most recently, sisters are celebrating a strong turnout and success at Gobblerfest. Alpha Delta Pi sisters created a beautiful informational board and decorated their booth with signature can tabs for Ronald McDonald House, hand painted Greek letters, a wooden A-frame from Safari Hunt, and numerous photos. Gobblerfest was a great way for the entire Greek community to spread the word to the Tech community about going Greek.

Sisters are also well under way in planning and preparing both their newly initiated and older members for the next round of recruitment. Eta Pi welcomed four new sisters through informal recruitment last semester, and cannot wait to welcome more sisters in the upcoming semester.

Planning chairs are also keeping themselves busy as Safari Hunt nears. The event is set to take place October 2, 3, and 4, and will consist of various events each day. Some events include a “Run for Ronald,” Substation percentage night, and Field Day. As usual, participants can earn points by “roaring” whenever they see an Alpha Delta Pi on campus. Alpha Delta Pi is proud to support Ronald McDonald House as its philanthropy, and Eta Pi hopes for strong participation to support their organization throughout the Greek community at Tech.

As far as activities for the rest of the semester, sisters look forward to participating in events with other sororities, fraternities, and other organizations on campus.

For now, sisters are enjoying spending time with each other at Sweet Frog sisterhood meet-ups, and cheering on their Hokies at football games! 

Sisters celebrate a Hokie win together in the North End Zone.
