This resolution recognizes the 175th anniversary of Alpha Delta Pi sorority, which was founded on May 15, 1851, as the Adelphean Society at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Georgia, making it the first secret society for college women. The resolution acknowledges the sorority's six founders and notes that it now has over 290,000 lifetime members across more than 220 chapters at colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. The resolution highlights Alpha Delta Pi's contributions to society, including raising over $1 million annually for Ronald McDonald House, logging over 300,000 community service hours yearly, and counting notable alumnae such as Academy Award winners, Emmy winners, Grammy winners, bestselling authors, Olympic athletes, and sitting members of Congress. The resolution congratulates the sorority on its anniversary and recognizes its members' commitment to personal growth, friendship, and community service. No funding or specific implementation timelines are included in this resolution, as it is ceremonial legislation honoring the organization's milestone anniversary.
