Hiking, Hunting, and Pumpkin Picking with Alpha Delta Pi


October has shaped up to be a busy month for the sisters of Alpha Delta Pi. After finishing up Safari Hunt and achieving record results, sisters dedicated their time to expanding Greek relations and participating in other philanthropy events.

While the weekdays were dedicated to schoolwork and other philanthropic events, the weekends were filled with sisterhood bonding activities.

A few sisters made the trek to the top of McAfee’s Knob on October 12 along with some members of the newly formed Women’s Health and Fitness Club of Virginia Tech. The weather was picture perfect, sisters couldn’t help but “throw their diamonds” at the top.

The four-pointed diamond is a symbol of Alpha Delta Pi's sisterhood. 

On October 20, sisters celebrated the beginning of duck hunting season with their Mallard Ball date party, a longtime tradition of Alpha Delta Pi. Sisters and their dates dressed in their best hunting camouflage, bright orange, and danced the night away.

Sisters displayed their creativity with handmade camouflage dresses and bows. 

In honor of the fall season, sisters went to the Sinkland Farms pumpkin patch on October 21 to get in the holiday spirit. The day was ideal for pumpkin picking.

Sisters also look forward to the upcoming weekend, where they plan to meet and bond with their sisters at the Longwood University chapter. The girls plan to go pumpkin picking, eat lunch together at the house, and bake pumpkin-themed goodies. Sisters could not be more excited to have the opportunity to meet Alpha Delta Pi’s from nearby chapters.

In the upcoming weeks, sisters look forward to further expanding their Greek relations and having a blast with other sororities and fraternities on campus through participating in other philanthropies.
