Our work week is officially over and it has been a very busy one! Today we worked on registrations, violets, and more and more packing! In one week we will be packing up and getting it all on its way to Dallas.
Today did bring a nice break with a ritual workshop with Miss Sally. I know we can all say that this was very interesting and educational! We went over Initiation, New Member ceremonies, songs and talked all about all things ritual. It was a wonderful break from the work week, and I think we can all agree with Miss Sally when she said that this is the kind of thing that makes her keeping coming back to work at Alpha Delta Pi. The history does not stop there, as we are all very excited for our trip to Macon Georgia tomorrow to visit Wesleyan College.

Wesleyan College in Macon Georgia was the first college to give a degree to a woman. This revolutionary school did more than just change women's perspectives on education and their future, it also is home to the first secret society for women - The Adelphean Society established in 1851. We now know this society as Alpha Delta Pi. Though this was before the term "sorority" was coined it paved the way for what we know as a sorority today.
Six women decided that there was more to college than studies, and agreed to a higher standard of scholarship, service, sisterhood and self. Wesleyan College was home to the Alpha chapter of ADPi until sorority life was removed from their campus. Our tour will include visiting the grave of our original sorority mother - Eugenia Tucker Fitzgerald, and visiting the Cannonball House which is a tribute to the founding of Alpha Delta Pi on the Wesleyan Campus.
I am sure there will be a blog post shortly following my arrival back in Atlanta and many pictures as well!
Needless to say, there is plenty of excitement in EO this evening!
Sending Love from Atlanta!
