What event combines Risk Management, spicy Indian Food, views of Olin library, presentations on rush, fire dancing, tours of the archives, and the election of new Governors all in beautiful Middletown, Connecticut?

Why, it was the Alpha Delta Phi Society's Tenth Convention and Leadership Training Conference!

UNH Greek Life released the Spring 2010 academic rankings and once again our Granite Chapter is on top of them all for Member and New Member grade point averages above their campus average.

They also received special recognition from the UNH Dean of Greek Life in the campus announcement, stating "The men and women of Alpha Delta Phi deserve additional accolades for finishing with GPAs above their campus average in every documented area."

The Middletown Chapter proudly acknowledges the awards and honors earned by our members during the 2009-2010 academic year at Wesleyan University.

Of our graduating seniors, two received degrees with University Honors, seven received Departmental High Honors, and two received Departmental Honors. Five members were elected to Phi Beta Kappa.

In addition, our members received 14 academic prizes, including:

We are pleased to announce the beginning of a new Affiliate. On April 5, 2010, the Society Board of Governors has granted affiliate status to a group of 8 freshman and one sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania.

This group will be known as the Adelphi Society publicly, as required by the Fraternity-Society Separation Agreement. The Society's Board of Governors plans to make a good-faith request to the Fraternity to waive this Separation Agreement requirement.

Their pledging ceremony occurred on the afternoon of April 10th. Their initiation was Saturday, April 24th.

Xaipe,

The 10th Convention of the Alpha Delta Phi Society on March 19, 2010, voted unanimously to grant Granite at the University of New Hampshire full chapter status and issue them a charter. Congratulations to Granite on becoming a full chapter of the Society.

The Society congratulates our Granite Affiliate, which was awarded the University of New Hampshire Greek Life Award for Outstanding Values-based Recruitment Program. This Award recognizes our Granite Affiliate for its selection process, which best embodies the values of its National and UNH Greek Life in its recruitment, selection, training, and retention of new members. It is further recognition of the success that our Granite Affiliate has had becoming not just a part, but an example of the best aspects of Greek Life at the University of New Hampshire.

The Alpha Delta Phi Society’s Tenth Convention and Leadership Training Conference will be hosted by the Middletown Chapter from March 19-21, 2010. I hope you will consider joining us at this important Society event! Click here to register on-line!

The Convention is the supreme legislative power of the Society. During business sessions, we will discuss current and future Society projects and participate in educational presentations. You can view the Convention Binder materials, and other Convention information, on-line by clicking here.

All Society members are invited to share their views. But Conventions are about more than business.

We are very pleased to announce that on January 12, 2010, the Board of Governors of the Alpha Delta Phi Society voted to grant affiliate status to a group of students at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
