Sports

        From flag football to softball, Alpha Delta Pi intramurals provides an unforgettable and entertaining way to get involved at Texas Tech University.  During the fall semester, ADPi competes in flag football, basketball, and volleyball.  The spring semester has us looking forward to Softball, and more flag football.  If you were worried about not being able to play your favorite sport in high school, no worries, everyone is welcome to play!

Social

        The ADPi’s may stay busy on campus, but they also know how to have fun too!  We have many social events that take away from the stress of our classes.  This year, our Black Diamond Formal was held at the elegant Baker Building in downtown Lubbock.  Sisters and their dates enjoyed a sit down dinner followed by an awards banquet, casino tables followed by a night of dancing.  One of the most anticipated social events each year is the “Match Made in Hollywood” social.  For this date party, we leave our cocktail dresses in our closets and the attire is all about famous Hollywood couples!  This annual event is held at a local venue that sets the perfect setting for this red carpet event and features music, dancing and fun!  Annually our Greek Week and Homecoming socials are larger and usually help with multiple fraternities.  Some past themes for various socials include “Lion in the Hospital, Date Dash, Cuff your Crush, Black Diamond Ball, Preppy Pi’s and Polo Guys, ADPi Winter Semi-Formal, and many, many more! 

            From time to time, usually once or twice a semester we hold sister socials to allow girls to get together kick back and relax for some traditional girl time.  Movie nights, Pride Activities, and fun in the sun are just a few of our always favorites.  Where ever a group of ADPi’s are gathered you are sure to find good friends, laughter, and excitement!

Leadership

            The leadership within Alpha Delta Pi continues to grow each year.  There are numerous opportunities for sisters to be involved in leading on campus.  Our sisters are always there to guide those interested in getting involved and being involved open doors for women that would not have had these opportunities if it were not for Alpha Delta Pi.  Our sisters’ strong leadership on and off the Texas Tech University campus has helped Alpha Delta Pi make leadership a very valuable part of many women’s college experience’s.

Philanthropy

        Alpha Delta Pi’s national philanthropy is the Ronald McDonald House Charities.  The Epsilon Epsilon chapter specifically serves the Ronald McDonald House in Lubbock, Texas.  RMH provides a “home away from home” for families of hospitalized children or those undergoing outpatient treatments in the Lubbock area.  In the houses, parents can break away from the hospital environment, have the support of other families, and ease some of the stress associated with their child’s illness.  It is a place where families can feel at home, cook their meals, watch TV, read, do their laundry, and enjoy the comfort of a warm and friendly environment.  The local RMH features a family/sitting area donated to the facility by our chapter and one of our devoted alumni, Jan Broome. 

            In order to help support the Ronald McDonald House Charities we hold our annual “Play Days” kickball tournament to raise money for our local RMH.  With the help of local new media and generous vendors, we enjoy great success with this event each year!  Throughout the semester, ADPi’s collect pop tabs and wish list items that we donate to the Ronald McDonald House.  The money earned by cashing in the pop tabs can be used to pay bills and attend to the financial needs of the house each month.  Additionally, every month a group of ADPi’s travel to the Ronald McDonald House and cook dinner for families staying in the house. 

            An easy way to help your local RMH is to donate everyday household products.  Ronald McDonald House uses everything your home does, except on a larger scale, since they have multiple families staying with them every night.  Some items that most Houses need on a regular basis include:

• Paper products (tissue, toilet paper, paper towels, paper plates)
• Garbage bags
• Aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and plastic sandwich bags
• Laundry detergent and fabric softener
• Cleaning Products (scrub pads, sponges, dishwashing liquid, dishwasher detergent)
• Bath and bedroom items (sheets, pillow cases, towels, shower curtains)
• Personal care products (deodorant, tooth paste, bath soap, shampoo, conditioner)
• Entertainment products (games, video, books)

More on ADPi Philanthropy….

Alpha Delta Pi collegians and alumnae, as well as friends and family of members of Alpha Delta Pi, show their philanthropic spirit in many ways. Chapters, alumnae associations and outstanding volunteers are recognized at Grand Convention for their philanthropic achievements.

Commitment to the Alpha Delta Pi international philanthropy, the Ronald McDonald House Charities, was made in 1979 and continues today. Since beginning its association, Alpha Delta Pi has contributed over $2 million to this worthwhile effort. Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) supports Ronald McDonald Houses in local communities, as well as funding grants to other not-for-profit organizations whose programs focus on children in need. There are 195 Ronald McDonald Houses in 16 countries, whose function is to provide comfort, care and "a home-away-from-home" for the families of seriously ill children who are receiving treatment at nearby hospitals. In addition to donating money to this worthwhile cause, many Alpha Delta Pi collegiate chapters and alumnae associations spend their time and energy volunteering at these houses. For more information concerning Ronald McDonald House Charities, please visit the RMHC Home Page at www.rmhc.com.

At the 2003 Grand Convention in Houston, TX, the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation announced its commitment to sponsor a Ronald McDonald Care Mobile. The Ronald McDonald Care Mobiles provide immunizations and health screenings, oral health services, diagnosis and treatment of chronic disease and health education to children who would otherwise go without health care. The Trustees chose to make a commitment to the Care Mobile affiliated with the UMASS Memorial Health Care in Worchester, MA with a pledge of $150,000 over three years to provide funds for the operations of the unit.

Each Ronald McDonald Care Mobile houses two patient examination rooms including prenatal exam capabilities, a laboratory, and a reception and medical records area. Some vehicles include a hearing screen booth, while others offer a dental hygiene room - a unique service not typically available in other mobile health care programs. The staff of a Care Mobile may consist of a pediatrician, a pediatric nurse, a dentist, a dental hygienist and a program manager; other staff members may include a social worker and other pediatric specialists.
 
           The Alpha Delta Pi Foundation is honored to be able to expand its philanthropic efforts to include the Care Mobile program. This program allows the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation to further fulfill its mission of seeking to improve the lives of women and the communities in which they live.
