Philanthropies, Halloween, and new additions for Alpha Delta Pi!


The semester is flying by for the sisters of Alpha Delta Pi. Sisters continued to participate in various philanthropy events throughout the month of October, as they rode the success from Safari Hunt at the beginning of the month.

Most notably, sisters participated in Beta Theta Pi’s First Annual Star Search the last week of October. Sisters were enthusiastic to support Beta Theta Pi and the Wounded Warrior Project; especially after Beta Theta Pi brothers devoted much time, energy, and money for Safari Hunt.

One of the philanthropy “events” involved using Twitter to keep updated with the philanthropy scores and Tweet photos with brothers. As huge advocates of social media to spread the word, sisters loved being able to use Twitter.

Searching for a golden star and participating in a scavenger hunt were among other activities sisters of Alpha Delta Pi completed. Sisters were proud and excited to learn they had won first place in the philanthropy; tweeting the most, finding the hidden star, donating the most money, and ordering the most promotional tank tops.

Sisters found the Hokie bird as part of the scavenger hunt. 

Once final donations from the Gobblecakes percentage night are calculated, sisters will learn the exact donation amount that will be made to Ronald McDonald House in their honor. Estimations put that number around $500 to the Roanoke Ronald McDonald House.  Strong participation in philanthropic events is just one way Alpha Delta Pi promotes Greek relations around campus.


In the spirit of the month, sisters participated in Oak Lane’s annual Trick or Treat on October 26. Sisters loved dressing up, handing out candy, and celebrating Halloween early! On October 31, sisters decorated their cars and participated in the annual Trunk or Treat event downtown.

 Most recently, sisters celebrated the installation of the Christopher Newport chapter of Alpha Delta Pi on November 2.


As the semester winds down, sisters prepare for the initiation of their newest Alpha class. Five new members will be welcomed into the sister hood as a result of fall informal recruitment. 


Sisters from the Winter 2012 pledge class were excited to add new members to their families!
