Alpha Delta Pi was founded on May 15, 1851 at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Georgia.  Alpha Delta Pi, originally called The Adelphean Society, is known for being the first secret society for women. Led by Eugenia Tucker Fitzgerald, our founders created the Adelphean Society for the "mental, moral, social, and domestic improvement of its members."  Today, there are more than 140 active collegiate chapters in existence with over 215,000 women as members.

 

The Eta Gamma Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi came to Austin Peay's campus in 1983.  Since then, we have created a reputation on campus for our outstanding commitment to scholarship, athletics, community service, and leadership on campus.  We are home to approximately 84 amazing women who each contribute something unique and great to our chapter.
