Open Motto
"We Live For Each Other"
Badge
Our badge is gold with a black enamel center and is to be worn over one's heart. The Greek letters "ADP", two stars, and clasped hands are the symbols on the badge. Only initiated members may wear the badge.
Flower
The Woodland Violet, which grows wild, is the official flower. Because it is unavailable for purchase, African Violets are often used to symbolize the Woodland Violet.
Colors
Azure blue and white are the official colors of Alpha Delta Pi. Blue is symbolic of friendship, the basic spirit upon which Alpha Delta Pi is founded. White symbolizes sincerity and truth. Alpha Delta Pi seeks these qualities in all its members.
Symbol
The diamond: it is a symbol of the strength and value of friendship, and the four points represent the symmetry of a balanced life. Oftentimes, you can see ADPis from across the country making diamonds with one another in pictures (as seen to the right).
Mascot
The lion is the mascot of Alpha Delta Pi, representing loyalty and strength. Our lion is nicknamed Alphie.
