The Alpha Delta Phi Society is a diverse, gender-inclusive community of friends that encourage each other's passions and have lots of fun along the way. Whether you find us hanging out in the lounge, singing in the pine room, playing video games in the TV room, or baking in the kitchen, you can expect excellent company, meaningful conversation, and boundless shennanigans. We celebrate our Society's rich history and traditions, but most importantly, we care deeply for one another and develop lifelong friendships. If the Alpha Delta Phi Society sounds like a place you'd like to call home, stop by anytime—we'd love to meet you!

Founded in 1836, four years after Alpha Delta Phi's inception, the Brunonian Chapter was the first Greek-letter organization established at Brown. In 1973, the Chapter opened its doors to women. In 1992, the Brunonian Chapter became a founding member of the Alpha Delta Phi Society, which welcomes people of all genders as full and equal members.

What is rushing?

Rushing provides an opportunity to meet the siblings of the ADPhi Society, visit our social spaces, and get a feel for the community of our house. During rush, which starts with the spring semester, we host events every week to feature the different aspects of our organization, from poetry to karaoke and much more! We encourage everyone to rush; we love making new friends! To the left are some pictures from our events!

When is rush?

Rush begins in late January and continues throughout the month of February. Rush is only a few weeks, so we encourage you to come around house as much as possible so we can get to know you better!

When are bids given out?

Bids are typically given out towards the end of rush. For more general information about rush, visit Brown Greek Council's website.

Our mission is to bring together a diverse and supportive community, foster intellectual and personal growth, and cultivate passionate individuals of good character and integrity. As a living, breathing organization rooted in a tradition of shared values, we proudly redefine what it means to be a Greek-letter organization.

In addition to the Brunonian chapter, the ADPhi Society has active chapters in places such as MIT, George Washington University, and Wesleyan University. The ADPhi Society also has affiliates at University of Pennsylvania, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Ursinus College, and more. 

How do I get to the ADPhi Society?

The ADPhi Society is located in Goddard House on Patriot’s Court, near the Sharpe Refectory. Goddard House is directly across from the gate to Wriston Quad on Thayer Street, and has a green swing and picnic tables right out front.

What kind of facilities does the ADPhi Society have?

In addition to the highest number of single dormitory rooms available on Wriston Quad, the ADPhi Society has numerous social rooms. Our spacious and comfortable lounge is an excellent space for both school work and socializing with friends. Holding our large collection of books, our library is another great place for studying and reading. Our game room and TV room can provide hours of entertainment, with a pool table, countless board games, multiple game consoles, and plenty of cozy couches. Our fully stocked kitchen is a great place to prepare meals and plenty of baked goods. On the weekends, you'll often find Alpha Delts enthusiastically singing our traditional songs in the Pine Room.
