Zeta Eta Chapter at the University of North Alabama • we live for each other •
On May 15th, 1851 the first and oldest secret society for women, the in world, was founded and named The Adelphean Society. Founded at Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia by Eugenia Tucker Fitzgerald, Ella Pierce Turner, Octavia Andrew Rush, Elizabeth Williams Mitchell, Sophronia Woodruff Dews, and Mary Evans Glass; this secret society was founded on the principals of sisterhood, values and ethics, high academic standards, and social responsibility. The Adelphean Society was later renamed Alpha Delta Pi in 1913. On February 17th, 1973 the Zeta Eta chapter of Alpha Delta Pi was established at The University of North Alabama in Florence, Alabama. Today these principals guide women in more than 154 active collegiate chapters and in over 150 alumnae associations of Alpha Delta Pi.
Creed:
I BELIEVE in Alpha Delta Pi. I BELIEVE that my sorority is more than a ritual or a symbol; that it is a way of life. I BELIEVE that the principles established by our founders in 1851 are enduring attributes, exemplifying the highest ideals of Christian womanhood. I BELIEVE that our motto, "We Live for Each Other," expresses the true spirit of fraternity; and that by living this motto my life will be enriched by true friendships and unselfish service to mankind. I BELIEVE that the privilege of membership in Alpha Delta Pi brings the responsibility to do my best in whatever I undertake, always remembering that leadership requires confidence tempered with humility and courage blended with tolerance. I BELIEVE that I must strive to become a well-balanced person by following the dictates of the four points symbolized by our diamond-shaped badge: first, strengthening my own character and personality; second, watching my attitudes toward my fellow-beings; third, recognizing the value of high educational standards; and fourth, developing faith and loyalty. I BELIEVE that these four guide-posts, guarded by the stars and friendly hands clasped in the Adelphean bonds of friendship, will lead me to achieve a rich and useful life.
