Living and Learning
Our new arrangement in Lucille Clement
has set Alpha Delta Pi up for a wonderful
living/learning environment. All of the
members who live on the hall have greatly
enjoyed getting to know each other as
hallmates as well as sisters. We love having
study buddies and meal partners right next
door! Not only have we grown in our ADPi
relationships, we've enjoyed getting to
know our Panhellenic sisters as well. Be
sure to come visit us in Lucy!
In the Fall of 2009, Alpha Delta Pi, along
with Alpha Xi Delta, Kappa Delta, and
Sigma Kappa, moved onto the fifth floor of
the Lucille Clement residence hall. Each
sorority committed to fill an equal number
of rooms, and we split the entire floor into
four sections. Each chapter occupies a
lounge that we designed and decorated on
our own.

Chapter Brings
National Speaker to
Campus
Formal Recruitment
September 2010
On March 3, 2010 Alpha Delta Pi brought
Steve Kardian from Campuspeak to ETSU to
present a program called Reducing the Odds
on Spring Break. It was a very timely and
informative program on campus right before
students left for spring break, like the speaker
said, “Smart choices shouldn’t take a vacation
too.” National media safety expert Steve
Kardian has a passion for keeping young
people safe. His program empowers college
students with great tips on how to stay safe
while letting loose on Spring Break.
This year's formal recruitment was extremely
successful. September 9 started recruitment,
and bid day was on September 12. We altered
our skit this year, and these changes produced
positive feedback from the girls going through
formal recruitment. We met quota which was
29; we were also able to keep two junior/
seniors, and we had two quota additions for a
total of 33 new alphas in Alpha Class 10! The
bid day theme was "Wish I May, Wish I Might,
I Got the Dream I Wished Last Night!" The
girls enjoyed this day of games and sweets
very much. This year we revealed the big and
little sister pairs on bid day, which made all
the girls excited to see who would be their big
sisters. The recruitment team worked
extremely hard over the summer and up until
the time of recruitment; their work along with
the work of the chapter resulted in getting
amazing new members of Alpha Delta Pi. ETSU Orientation
Rachel Collins, Recruitment Vice President
This summer the ETSU campus had multiple
orientations. They organized the Greek life
sessions into two-day sessions. The first day
of the orientation was a meet-and-greet. All
panhellenic sororities attended, and food was
provided. This gave the new students a
chance to ask questions they may have
surrounding becoming involved during their
college experience. The participation at these
meet and greets increased this summer in
comparison to last summer. The increase in
interest is exciting because the panhellenic
community at ETSU would love to expand. The second day of orientations, all panhellenic
sororities were allowed to set up a booth
displaying their organization. We were also
allowed to have baked goods; we made sugar
cookies and decorated them as violets! The
cookies were a major hit at all the orientations. During this time, girls could choose which
booths to visit and ask particular questions
about our particular organization and Greek
life in general. These were very informative
sessions and a good time to meet potential
new members. Because of these summer
orientations, the new students at ETSU were
familiar with Alpha Delta Pi and helped make
our formal recruitment a big success. Rachel Collins, Recruitment Vice President
Social
Just because Alpha Delta Pi excels in
scholarship and service doesn’t mean that we
don’t know how to have some fun. Alpha
Delta Pi strongly encourages a healthy social
life in order to balance out the everyday
stresses of college life. Our chapter hosts
several mixers, date parties, and sisterhood
events along with an informal and formal
event each year. Alpha Delta Pi Circus, “Be the
FIRST, to see the FINEST in the show, a
memory that will last FOREVER...” was the
theme for this year’s formal, and the chapter
hosted a Mallard Ball themed informal.
We Play...
Intramurals!
Alpha Delta Pi participates in many of ETSU’s
intramural sports. This year the chapter has
had teams for football, basketball, volleyball
and softball.

Trunk or Treat
Sarah Watlington, Philanthropy Chair
Every year, the Gamma Phi chapter of Alpha
Delta Pi hosts a Trunk or Treat on East
Tennessee State University's campus. This
year, the event was held on Friday, October 29. The goal of the event is to reach out to
children with special needs, giving them an
opportunity to have Halloween fun without
having to walk around the community. Flyers
were passed among all Washington County
elementary schools. The children Trick or
Treat from car to car playing games along the
way. Each car has an individual theme and
the Alpha Delta Pi ladies are dressed up to
match their theme. As in the years past, this
year's event was a major success. We
coordinate with the Walnut Street business
Trick or Treat day to give children another
opportunity to have fun and leave with plenty
of candy. We had cars with themes such as
princess, cowgirls, 1980's, space, and animals. We had children coming by from the time we
began until the event ended. Not only do the
children of the community enjoy this event,
but it is fun for everyone who attends. Personally, this is one of my favorite
philanthropic events that we hold. Every
child that comes through always has a smile
on their face and it grateful for the event that
we hold. It was tons of fun and exciting to see
all of the creative costumes! Ironman, cats,
Wizard of Oz, and even the Mad Hatter
stopped by for candy. Trunk or Treat was a

FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Parents, Alumnae, and Sisters,
Hello! My name is Lauren King and I have
been serving as the President of the Gamma
Phi Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi for the last
several months. It is truly a privilege to be
leading such an amazing group of women into
another year here at East Tennessee State
University. I could not say enough about the
potential and ambition that I see within each
of our members every day.
It has been a busy, but rewarding semester so
far. We raised almost $17,000 at our 8th
Annual Ronald McDonald House Benefit and
Auction held on February 27th. It was a
successful event and we had a great time
getting to visit with our family, friends, and
alumni. We also hosted a campus wide
workshop, in which we brought in Steve
Kardian from Campuspeak, Inc. to give a
presentation titled “Reducing the Odds on
Spring Break.” It was both an eye-opening
and informative seminar.
Whether it is recruitment practices, cooking
for the Ronald McDonald House, or an
intramural sports game, there is always
something going on in Gamma Phi. We are
excited to continue on in the tradition of
being the First and Finest on campus and we
appreciate your support! If you have any
questions or comments always feel free to
contact me by email, kingy1689@yahoo.com,
or phone (423) 943-9006.
Loyally,
Lauren King

Parents are an essential part of what makes the
Greek experience great and what better way to
support your daughter than by joining a Parents’
Club for your daughter’s chapter.

P

The Gamma Phi Mother’s Club provides tangible
and monetary support to the chapter. They have
provided resources for Gamma Phi, which we
would not have been able to provide for ourselves.
This is also a great way to meet other parents of
members and form wonderful friendships.
Remember, you do not have to be an Alpha Delta
Pi to be a member of the Parents’ Club.
The Mother’s Club has helped the chapter with
many activities in past couple years including:
Summer House Party, Christmas Party, Senior
Send Off, recruitment practices, Spring House
Party, Spring Recruitment, Food for Finals. The
chapter is very thankful for the continued parent
participation.
The Gamma Phi Mother's Club enjoyed
celebrating Christmas with our girls at the
King home in Johnson City before Christmas
break. The girls had a fun scarf exchange, lots
of food, a candle passing to celebrate the
engagement of Courtney Baker, and Senior
send-off for five graduating Seniors. What a
busy and fun night! Thanks to all you moms
for your donations of food, drinks, and money
to make this special night possible! New copresidents were elected for the 2010-2011 year.
They are: Rhonda Watlington, Lisa Rowland,
and Michele King. It took three of us to fill
Sandy Satterfield's lovely shoes! We miss you,
Sandy! For finals week we served the girls
delicious soups and desserts in their new
suite, and gave them goodie bags to help with
the study munchies! We had a delightful mother/daughter lunch at
Amigos restaurant the day of the Ronald
McDonald Benefit. Then we all enjoyed an
evening of bidding, eating and dancing at the
Holiday Inn as the girls did a great job on this
year's benefit! Way to go girls!
Our next event will be to supply lunch for the
girls at Spring House party at the CPA on
Saturday, March 27th. We plan to provide
salads, drinks,and desserts. Any food and/or
donations will be appreciated! Make checks to
Gamma Phi Mother's Club and mail to Janie
Childress at 1013 Nottingham Court,
Kingsport, TN 37660. We are so proud of all our girls and the Moms
Club is a great way to be involved!

location to be announced)
Our next meeting is Tuesday, April 6th at

learned how to deal with stress and avoid it; Nutrition Workshop- members learned how to eat healthy on a college budget and lifestyle;
Confessions of a Shopaholic- a budget management workshop where members learned cute and cheap Christmas gifts; Breast Cancer
Awareness- this campus wide workshop was held in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, presented by Gamma Phi Alumna Dr. Marcia

About Hear Her Roar
About Alpha Delta Pi
About Our Chapter
Hear Her Roar is a civic publication of the Gamma
Phi Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi Sorority. Its purpose
is to inform Alpha Delta Pi alumnae, parents, and
the ETSU Community of the important
developments and accomplishments of active and
alumnae members of the chapter. An online version
can be found in the News & Events section on
www.alphadeltapietsu.org.
The story begins in 1851 at Wesleyan Female
College in Macon, Georgia, where six incredible
women changed the world. Led by Eugenia Tucker
Fitzgerald, our founders formed The Adelphean
Society for “the mental, moral, social, and domestic
improvement of its members.” The Adelphean
Society, later renamed Alpha Delta Pi, was the first
secret society for college women.
The Gamma Phi Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi Sorority
was established at East Tennessee State University
on November 13, 1954. As the first sorority at East
Tennessee State, Alpha Delta Pi has enjoyed a
reputation as one of the premier campus
organizations for women for 55 years and currently
boasts a membership of over 1100 sisters.
