CHAPTER
SUMMARY:
Founded May 15, 1851 at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Georgia,
Alpha Delta Pi holds the distinction of being the first secret society
for women and the mother of today's sorority system. We were founded on
the principles of scholarship, leadership, service to others and
sisterhood. These principles still guide the policies and programs of
the sorority today. To date, Alpha Delta Pi has initiated more than
182,500 women, many of whom are actively involved in one of our over
130 collegiate chapters or 150 alumnae associations throughout the
United States and Canada.

MESSAGE
FROM THE PRESIDENT:
Psi chapter of Alpha Delta Pi is composed of over 80 bright young
women. Through extensive recruitment efforts, our chapter boasts a
group of well-rounded individuals who are active in the house and
campus organizations. We have members of Cal athletics, ASUC, pre-law
and pre-med fraternities and much more. Scholarship is an integral part
of Psi chapter as we have many members of Order of Omega, a Greek
Honors Society, and maintain a higher average GPA than the all women's
average at Berkeley. ADPi contributes to the Ronald McDonald House
through our spring philanthropic event, a foosball tournament. Greek
involvement includes our participation in and attendance of other
organization's events. Sisterhood is very important to the unity of our
chapter. The women get together every week to go to Cal sporting
events, watch our favorite TV shows, go out to dinner and a movie,
participate in study hours, intramural sports, and Greek events, visit
museums and amusements and perform community service. From engineering
to English, physics to political science and biology to business, our
women encompass a wide array of interests and hobbies. Once joining
Alpha Delta Pi, our women are provided with opportunity and guidance to
become smarter better students, members of society and most
importantly, better friends.

CHAPTER HISTORY:
In 1910, an advertisement appeared in Berkeley's beloved Daily
Californian campus newspaper, which offered a $1,000 stipend for the
establishment of a house club by any group of students. A group called
the Carnarvon Club organized, rented and furnished a house and chose a
Welsh harp as their insignia. Fortuitously, it caught the eye of Lily
Cliberon, who would rally the enthusiasm of her friends to organize
themselves into what would soon become Psi Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi.
This twenty-third national chapter was formally chartered on
December 6, 1913, and, on this day, Abigail Davis initiated the first
twenty-nine members of Psi. The 1915 Alpha Delta Pi Convention was held
in Berkeley. Psi chapter occupied several houses until 1931 when our
chapter purchased 2400 Piedmont Avenue, the summer home of notable Bay
Area heiress Phoebe Hearst, for only $28,000. The house was recognized
immediately as the showplace of the campus. Since then, the former
bungalow-style mansion has had its ballroom and squash court converted
into bedrooms and several modern conveniences added on, but it still
retains its original character, and is a charming home to sixty girls
at its capacity. Located on Channing circle, it lies at the very heart
of the present-day Greek community.
