what is it?
Alpha Delta Chi is a national Christian sorority which was founded at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1925. The ten founders envisioned a place where Christian women could participate in Greek life without compromising their beliefs, build strong friendships and mirror Christ's love to their community. The sorority's purpose is to provide fellowship for Christian college women, strengthen the spiritual lives of its members and be a testimony for Jesus Christ on each campus.
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
