'Tis the season for Alpha Delta Pi


With the end of the semester in sight, the sisters of Alpha Delta Pi kicked off the holiday season with a joint cookie decorating party during Sisterhood Week.

Sisters donned their respective symbols.

Alpha Delta Pi was paired with the sisters of Alpha Chi Omega for the week and they were excited to share their sisterhood with other sisters. During the week, sisters joined up to participate in various events; most notably, the cookie decorating party at the Alpha Delta Pi house.

Sisters had a blast getting in the holiday spirit baking and decorating holiday cookies with fellow Greek women. Sisterhood events such as the cookie decorating party are a great way to meet and bond with other chapter women within the Panhellenic community.

December 1 was an exciting day for not only the Eta Pi chapter, but for chapters around the nation as Alpha Delta Pi’s newly colonized chapter at James Madison University officially initiation hundreds of new sisters.

A number of sisters made the trip to James Madison University to assists in the initiation events, much like when sisters visited during October’s Bid Day Celebration. It is always exciting to welcome new chapters, especially so close to Blacksburg. Eta Pi hopes to organize sisterhood events with the James Madison chapter in the future.

In other exciting news, sisters are preparing to undergo officer transition in the upcoming week. Both incoming and outgoing officers will undergo transition this week and a transition workshop will be held this Saturday. New officers will be officially installed during Sunday’s chapter meeting.

Sisters look forward to further preparing for spring recruitment and expanding their already strong sisterhood.
