Philanthropy

From the time of our founding, Alpha Delta Pi has believed in the importance of giving back to our community. A dedication to philanthropy guides our members to spend time in the service of those who need it most. Our international organization’s commitment to Ronald McDonald House Charities has led to the donation of over $15,000,000 over the course of our partnership. More than 350 Ronald McDonald Houses in 64 countries help keep families with seriously ill or injured children together when they need it most by offering them a comfortable, temporary residence in proximity to a medical facility.

 The Beta Eta chapter offers its members a unique & more hands-on experience with our philanthropy, as we have a Ronald McDonald House located right in Ann Arbor.  For example, cook dates are one of many ways we are involved with RMCH, allowing our members to cook for the families residing in the Ann Arbor RMH. 

Every year, Beta Eta hosts a picnic at the ADPi house complete with music, games, raffles, and a cookout!  We invite our friends, our family, our fellow Panhellenic and Interfraternity Council members, and alumnae. We also host our infamous AD-Pancakes, a late-night philanthropy event where we raise money for RMHC. Our chapter is very dedicated to philanthropic efforts within & outside of ADPi, & we hold the Ronald McDonald House Charities close to our hearts.
