About ADX

For we all, with unveiled face, reflecting as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image, from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. -2 Corinthians 3:18

"The founding chapter of Alpha Delta Chi was started at the University of California at Los Angeles in 1925. The original founders were:

Ruth Umsted Ohly
Evelyn Kepple Kay
Marion Wright Madden
Willard Crowder Clawson
Theta Slingerland Dean
Alice Slingerland McEachern
Amy Culp
Dora Marie Showalter-Goertz
Dorothea Harvey Schultz
Alma Becker

 
Their vision was to create a place where Christian women could participate in Greek life without compromising their beliefs, build strong friendships, and most of all, they wanted to create a place which would mirror Christ's love to their community. The sorority was originally named Areta, which means virtue. The sorority's purpose is to provide fellowship for Christian college women, to strengthen the spiritual lives of its members, and to be a testimony for Christ on each campus."
