In 1979, Alpha Delta Pi adopted Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) as its international philanthropy.

Each semester, our members take volunteer trips to the Ronald McDonald House in Cleveland. We are so grateful that we are able to work hands on with our philanthropy! In addition to these volunteer trips, members of our chapter volunteer on campus and in the Ashland community. In fact, sisters are expected to obtain a minimum number of service hours each semester. Your daughter will be provided with frequent updates on community service opportunities within the area.  We place a high value on service because we recognize that it helps us become more compassionate and empathetic.

What expectations are set forth for members of Alpha Delta Pi?

The Standards Code of Alpha Delta Pi outlines the expectations set forth for members of Alpha Delta Pi. Upon joining Alpha Delta Pi, your daughter will receive a copy of the Standards Code. She will then sign a contract stating that she understands and agrees to abide by those standards. Our standards are put in place to help promote positive behavior and hold sisters accountable for their actions. Each member's attitude and actions affect the welfare of the entire organization. Therefore, members must guard the honor and privilege of their membership in Alpha Delta Pi. The standards of Alpha Delta Pi are consistent with our high ideals, principles, and values. A member whose behavior is inconsistent with the Standards Code will be given notice of a Standards Council meeting. In this meeting, she will be provided with support and guidance that will help her modify her behavior in order to be the best that she can be.

When a member does not meet the minimum GPA, she will meet with the Director of Academic Affairs to develop an individualized program to meet her academic needs. Your daughter will be provided with many opportunities to connect with members with the same major or academic interests. Furthermore, she will be provided with tips focused on time management, studying, and other related skills that are vital to her success within the classroom.
