About
The Alpha Delta Pi Sorority House is a two-story student residence located north of 17th Street and between Avenues I and J.
Residence Life classifies this small house as being part of “Sorority Hill.”
The building originally housed members of the Caroline Belvin Society (or, CB's), one of the literary societies that existed on campus after the turn of the century.
In 1959, the group became the charter members of the Delta Mu chapter of Alpha Delta Pi sorority.
