Eta Lambda History

In the fall of 1985, a group of freshmen women decided to form a new chapter of a nationally affiliated sorority. In the fall of 1986, these now sophmore women narrowed down their choices for national affiliation.

Before inductions came, however, the colleges adminstration informed is that due to the small percentage of Greek girls, we had to merge with an already existing local sorority; Pi Alpha Tau. The prospective Alpha Delta Pi's merged with Pi Alpha Tau on November 12, 1986, and were inducted as pladges of Alpha Delta Pi, Eta Lambda chapter on December 9, 1982 by Kristen Dolan, our T.C.S.

On February 5, 1987 we were inducted as pledges and the offical pledge period began for the colony of fifty-one women .

THe highlight og the year was our initiation and induction banquet on May 9, 1987. Tracee Block, our founding president, accepted the gave from Mrs. Beth Gentry Manle, Grand Council Vice President, and we were finally an offical chapter of Alpha Delta Pi.
