The Middletown Chapter is an undergraduate branch of the self-governing gender-inclusive literary society Alpha Delta Phi based on the campus of Wesleyan University. The Alpha Delta Phi society consists of multiple chapters, several affiliates, and an alumni association of nearly 1,200 members throughout the United States and the world. Members of ΑΔΦ strive to cultivate within themselves a spirit of trust, caring, commitment, and respect for their siblings, and the organization is dedicated to cultivating character, scholarship, and enduring friendships. Our strong history of literary tradition, especially as achieved through the Adelphic Educational Fund, fosters life-long intellectual growth and achievement among our members.

Mission Statement:

In order to forge positive relationships between members, students, faculty, staff, the Wesleyan campus, and the Middletown community at large, the self-governing Middletown Chapter of the Alpha Delta Phi Society dedicates its resources to providing a safe, open, respectful, intellectual, and positive environment; promotes academic excellence, curiosity, and celebration of the arts; and strives to represent all niches of Wesleyan’s student body.

Become a Sibling

How do I become a sibling?

Those affiliated with Wesleyan University:

ADPS-badge-200x300Well, you can start by stopping by the House and saying Hi or eating at the S&C!

We hold rush at the beginning of the Fall and Spring semesters. Rush is the best way for you to learn more about the house, and for us to learn more about you.

Check out our current schedule of events. You’re welcome to drop by anytime!

Those affiliated with another college or university:

Are you interested in founding a chapter of the Alpha Delta Phi Society at your college or university? Our members are happy to talk to you more about what it means to be an Alpha Delt and to help you on your way to founding a chapter at your school. For starters, feel free to contact Jules White and Payton Millet, inter-chapter committee co-chairs.

You should also contact the ΑΔΦ Society Board of Governors’ expansion coordinators at new-chapters@adps.org and visit the Society’s website at http://www.adps.org/.
