Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This Senate 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 sorority now has over 290,000 lifetime members across more than 220 chapters at colleges and universities in the United States and Canada, along with 165 active alumnae associations headquartered in Atlanta. The resolution highlights the organization's contributions to society, noting that members include Emmy Award winners, Grammy Award winners, bestselling authors, Olympic athletes, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists, and sitting members of Congress, and that the sorority raises over one million dollars annually for Ronald McDonald House while members volunteer over 300,000 community service hours each year. The resolution congratulates the sorority on its milestone and acknowledges its members' commitment to personal growth, leadership, education, and community service. There is no funding or budgetary impact associated with this recognition resolution, which was introduced on May 14, 2026, ahead of the sorority's 175th Anniversary Grand Convention scheduled for June 17-20, 2026, in Palm Desert, California.
