1851 Violet Circle
Exclusively for our Undergraduate Members
The 1851 Violet Circle is Alpha Delta Pi Foundation’s giving society exclusively for our undergraduate members. Your one-time gift of $18.51 or more to the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation’s Annual Fund (our area of greatest need) in support of our sisters makes you a Foundation donor and supports the educational, leadership, and philanthropic priorities of our sisterhood.Â
 
As a token of our appreciation, undergraduate members will receive this year’s 1851 Violet Circle dangle to display on their badge. The dangle changes each year, so this year’s dangle is only available for 1851 Violet Circle members through July 31.
Please note that gold dangles will not ship until early August due to a manufacturing error during our spring restock. Silver dangles will ship in June.
Â
Gifts through the 1851 Violet Circle help support programs that directly benefit our members such as leadership and educational programs at Grand Convention and ADPi Academy; hazing prevention education; leadership training; and other educational programs.
Helpful Hints:Â

- Please be sure to select 1851 Violet Circle as the Area of Focus when you make your gift of $18.51 or more - this will ensure that your gift is categorized as part of the 1851 Violet Circle for your silver dangle.
