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.

 

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.

 

Gifts through the 1851 Violet Circle help support programs that directly benefit our members such as speakers at Convention, Leadership Seminar, and District Leadership Conferences; hazing and sexual assault prevention education; leadership training; and leadership consultant visits to chapters internationally.

 

Helpful Hints:

  1. Did you graduate this spring? Don't worry - you can still join on Day of Giving!

  2. 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 you can select a silver or gold dangle. We will mail it to your billing address unless you indicate otherwise in the Final Steps section when making your gift.

  3. Are you a parent or alumna who wants to gift a Violet Circle membership to your favorite undergraduate ADPi? No problem - follow the instructions in note #2 and make the gift In Honor of (indicating her name AND chapter) on the donation form.

  4. Questions? Give us a call at (404) 378-3164 and we can walk you through it or accept your gift by phone.
