Delegates to the 2009 Alpha Delta Phi Society Convention and Leadership Training Conference passed a series of resolutions about Society operations. Under the Society's Constitution, the Convention is the supreme legislative body of our organization.

The Alpha Delta Phi Society is given the opportunity to publish a page once a year in the Fraternity's Xaipe newsletter. This option exists pursuant to the negotiated agreement that resulted in the separation of the Alpha Delta Phi Society from The Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity in 1992.

The Society's page is included below in pdf format. To read the entire Fraternity Xaipe newsletter, click here to go to the Fraternity's Xaipe archive.

The url for the group is http://www.flickr.com/groups/alphadeltaphisociety

It was an exciting weekend at the Middletown Chapter House at 185 High Street in Middletown, Connecticut. Just 16 hours after pledging twenty-three members of the Wesleyan University community, the chapter hosted the first initiation ceremony for the Granite Affiliate Chapter, based at the University of New Hampshire.

The UNH campus paper, "The New Hampshire" has an article about our new affiliate!
Here is a link to the article in the paper.
Affiliate President/Pledge Meredith Lee and Affiliate Pledge Ashley Auger are quoted in the article, as are Brother Pledgemaster Kristen Soule Brn '99 and Expansion Chair Thomas Clark Bdn '99.
The article was not written by one of our pledges, but Pledge Lee is a graphics designer for the paper.
