About ΑΔΧ

Alpha Delta Chi (ΑΔΧ) is a national Christian sorority that unites women in a shared desire to live out their faith through sisterhood, scholarship, and service.

Established in 1925 at UCLA, our purpose has remained the same: to be a community that encourages each woman to strengthen her relationship with God and with others. Across generations and campuses, ADX has provided a home where faith is nurtured, laughter is shared, and lifelong bonds are built.

Our motto — “reflecting, as in a mirror, the glory of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:18) — reminds us that we are called to reflect Christ’s love in all we do.

Our Pillars

Alpha Delta Chi was founded upon three enduring pillars: Spiritual, Scholastic, and Social. These principles form the foundation of our sisterhood and the heart of our purpose.

Together, these pillars call us to live balanced lives — rooted in faith, pursuing knowledge, and enriched by joyful community.

    1. Personal acceptance of Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

    2. Enrollment in a university where a chapter of the National Fraternity has been chartered by the National Board.

    3. Active participation in Christian service.

    4. Regular attendance or membership in an evangelical church or other church approved by the National Board.

    5. Interest in leading others to Christ.

    6. Willingness to avoid situations which would cause one's Sister or brother to stumble.

    7. Willingness to abstain from sexual relations until marriage.

    8. Willingness to abstain from smoking and illegal use of drugs.

    9. Willingness to abstain from alcohol in circumstances where the Christian witness would be adversely affected.

    10. A scholarship rating of at least a "C" or its equivalent maintained in all university work.

    11. Passage of annual examinations on the National Constitution, II Corinthians 3, and the Active chapter's bylaws.

    12. Procurement of a membership pin.

    13. Payment upon graduation or leaving the university, of an amount specified by the chapter to the chapter scholarship and housing fund(s).

"Coming to Alpha Delta Chi at the beginning of my freshmen year, I had no idea the extent that this Sisterhood would grow and shape me--not only as a professional woman, but as a true woman of God."

Nicole

Georgia Institute of Technology

"Through ADX, God has surrounded me with beautiful young women who have supported and encouraged me in so many ways and He has brought me to a greater longing for Him. I have changed so much for the better, and ADX has been a HUGE part of that and I am forever blessed because of it."

Emily

California State University, Long Beach

"Finding Alpha Delta Chi, and becoming a part of the re-chartering class for the Mu chapter was by far the biggest blessing of my college career...the other thing I have known from my first experience with Alpha Delta Chi, is that I always want it to be a part of my life. God has blessed me through Alpha Delta Chi in so many ways, and I have every intention of doing all that I can to bless other women’s lives through it as well."

"ADX for me is Christ-centeredness, sisterhood, accountability, love, openness, awkwardness, surprises, iron sharpening iron, growth, change, forgiveness, laughter, memories, beauty, encouragement, lasting friendships."

What AΔX Means
to Me

"I was invited to recruitment at Alpha Delta Chi and pledged my first semester freshman year. I can honestly say that this group was the most formative in my walk with Christ. So many unique, intelligent and wonderful women seeking God, so many great late-night talks at the kitchen table, so many opportunities to serve and love and wrestle and walk in faith together."

Kirstin

Georgia Institute of Technology

"Since becoming a Member almost two years ago, my life has changed in ways I've never imagined. I've grown not only as a person, but spiritually, and this wouldn't have been possible without the love, support and encouragement I've received from my Sisters. The journey hasn't been easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is! I'm so thankful for the time I've spent as an ADX Sister, and wouldn't change one moment with them for the world, because I know these will be the fondest memories of my college career when I look back on my journey."

Megan

University of Alabama

"It's a community that supports a healthy, Christ-centered lifestyle. We know how to party and dig into the word of God."

Rebekah

University of Southern California

"God has totally blessed me with a group of Christian Sisters that are there for me all the time, and let me be there for them too. They build me up in Christ. I am continually reminded of how wonderful it is to be unique individuals working as a whole, and I see God's love & grace through these girls constantly."
