Blanken Dr. Ida G. Everson Mrs. Adolph Stern Gamma Pi, chapter of Alpha Delta Pi, celebrates its first year on the Wagner College campus. This group, first a local sorority, Tau Lambda Chi, affiliated with Alpha Delta Pi in May, 1949, and now enjoys the distinction of being the first national soror- ity on the hill. The sisters of Tau Lambda Chi were inducted into Alpha Delta Pi on May 6, 1950. The induction was followed by a ceremonial dinner at the Richmond County Country Club. While Gamma Pi observes its first year at Wagner, Alpha Delta Pi celebrates its centennial as the oldest sorority in the United States. College education for women was still an innovation when the Adelphian Society was founded on May 15, 1851, by a group of girls at XVesleyan College, Macon, Georgia. It was, however, not until 1904 that Alpha Delta Pi really began expanding on a national scale. Today Alpha Delta Pi has over eighty-one active chapters throughout the United States and Canada, and is still building with the infinite caution which has kept it secure for one hundred years. The standards of the sorority and its ritual as used today are very similar to those introduced in 1851. The obligation of membership and the open motto We live for each otherv are virtually unchanged even in wording. A member of National Panhellenic since 1909, Alpha Delta Pi is proud of its affiliation with the twenty national sororities which comprise the national Panhellenic group. Alpha Delta Piis creed stands for good scholarship, for guarding of good health, for Whole-hearted cooperation with the collegeis ideals for student life, for the main- tenance of fine social standards, and for the serving, to the best of its ability, the college community. It is the duty of every Alpha Delta Pi to conform to the stand- ards of the sorority and the college. She should also be distinguished by courtesy, consideration for others, and a gracious and helpful attitude to all with Whom they come in contact. Gamma Pi now has twenty-four members and nine pledges who are active as a group in college life and also as individuals in the various phases of the entire school program. This year the sorority has sponsored an open dance, Cinderella's Ball , on October 7, 1950. The sisters have given two bridge parties during the year, the proceeds of one going to the Wagner College Building Fund. Several teas have highlighted the social year of Alpha Delta Pi. In addition to their other activities, the sorority gave a Christmas party for dependent children in the area. Fxoat . I mec0mmg his HO 2 1 .- BQ j 'Fw W. fl . A . if.

The main ideals upon which the sorority was founded are the mainten- ance of sound Christian living, scholastic achievement, and loy- alty to Wagner and her traditions. Theta is proud of the leadership and active interest of her members in activities outside the school as well as within. The sisters are leaders in such clubs and organizations as Varsity Players, Dormitory Council, Stu- dent Christian Association, Campus Community Chest, Student Council, and the Kallista, and several of the seniors were honored by being placed on the list of Who's Who in American Colleges. The highlight of the year was the highly successful annual dance. It was the first Wagner dance to be held at the Richmond County Country Club. Theta was proud, too, to receive second prize in the Homecoming Day float parade competition. Another annual undertaking was the collec- tion and distribution of Christmas gifts for children at Seaview Hospital, and Theta's annual Business Administration Award was presented to the most deserving senior at the Student Body Banquet. Besides various successful rush socials and other parties held by the sorority, the pledges gave a Sock Hop in honor of the sisters and their dates -another success. I Theta Pi Epsilon is happy to announce that in the spring of this year she became affiliated with Alpha Omicron Pi. A member of the National Panhellenic, this sorority was founded at Barnard College in 1897 and be- came an international organization in 1930.
