Alpha Delta Pi welcomes new sisters


The sisters of Alpha Delta Pi had a busy couple of weeks leading up to the Thanksgiving holiday. Amidst all the excitement to welcome a new pledge class in the upcoming semester, sisters prepared to welcome five new sisters who went through informal recruitment this past fall.

Sisters celebrated a third place win after participating in Alpha Chi Omega’s Mock Rock philanthropy event. The much-anticipated and heavily practiced dance was a huge hit; even the Hokie bird made an appearance! Sisters danced to many Rihanna songs to show their support for Alpha Chi Omega’s philanthropy to fight domestic violence.

Sisters danced wearing black, denim, and red bandannas. 

Earlier in the month, sisters braved the chilly fall weather and handed out maroon Alpha Delta Pi cups and hot chocolate before the first Thursday night football game of the year. The cups were gone in a matter of hours, as was the hot chocolate.

Sisters celebrated their last date party of the semester with semi-formals at Top of the Stairs the night of November 10. Date parties are a great way for sisters to wind down and relax following busy weeks.

On November 14, sisters officially initiated their newest Alpha class of five members. The girls went through informal recruitment in the fall, and sisters cannot wait to get to know them better.

Upon arrival back in Blacksburg after Thanksgiving, new sister officers will begin their transition into new positions following elections. Aside from officer transitions, sisters will continue preparations for formal recruitment next semester. Sisters have plenty to do as first semester draws to a close!
