Service to our Sisters includes our emergency grant programs for both collegians and alumnae who have fallen on hard times. We have awarded more than $848,000 to our sisters in need through these emergency grants.

The Clasped Hands Fund Grant provides emergency financial assistance to Alpha Delta Pi alumnae who find themselves in financial distress. Need and circumstances determine the amount of each grant.

The Abigail Davis Emergency Grant Fund provides grants of up to $3,000 for short-term assistance to collegians who are experiencing unforeseen financial difficulties and are faced with the prospect of having to leave school. Grants must be used for tuition, books, or school fees. Grants may not be used for sorority dues or room and board.
