Alpha Delta Pi was founded as the first secret society for women in 1851 at Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia. Clemson University's Zeta Nu chapter was founded in 1976. Our sorority is committed to high academic standards, social responsibility, sisterhood, values, and ethics.

To date, Alpha Delta Pi has initiated more than 235,000 women, many of whom are actively involved in one of over 145 collegiate chapters and 150 alumnae associations throughout the United States and Canada.

Letter from our President

Welcome to the Zeta Nu Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi! My name is Nora Kramer and this year, I have the incredible honor and privilege of serving as our Chapter President. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have this opportunity! 

For me, being elected as president is more than just a title; it's a profound honor and a responsibility that I hold dear to my heart. Joining Alpha Delta Pi was a decision that changed my life in ways I could have never imagined. From the moment I walked through the curtains at Little John, I was greeted with warmth, acceptance, and a sense of belonging that I had been searching for.

As I reflect on my time here at Clemson, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the experiences, friendships, and memories that have shaped my journey. My journey within our sisterhood has been nothing short of magical, filled with cherished memories, lifelong friendships, and countless moments of growth. As the previous Vice President of Recruitment, I was able to see how hard working and wonderful the members of the Zeta Nu Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi truly are. Our love for each other and dedication to something beyond us helps us strive to be better women every day. ADPi is the tie that binds us all together. Together, we have the power to make a meaningful impact on each other's lives and on the world around us. Because of Zeta Nu, I have found lifelong friendships with women who will forever support me in all aspects of life. These are not just friendships; they are bonds that run deep, forged through laughter, tears, shared interests, supporting each other through challenges, and simply enjoying each other's company. These moments are what truly make the sorority experience special. I am endlessly grateful for the support, love, and sisterhood that each and every member has brought into my life. 

This year, I hope to leave a legacy of leading with passion, compassion, and unwavering dedication to our sisterhood. The vision statement that will be guiding myself and the rest of the chapter this year is, “to foster an environment that inspires, uplifts, and celebrates the unique strengths of each sister, encouraging purposeful decisions and impactful change through understanding chapter and member motives”. I am blessed to be surrounded by an Executive Board full of women who are dedicated to making the experience in Zeta Nu as fulfilling and memorable as possible. I am so thankful to have the opportunity to be able to pour my heart into something that has truly given me so much.

Take a look around our website and get a glimpse of what makes our sisterhood so special! We’re so excited that you’re here!

Loyally and with love, 

Nora Kramer

Zeta Nu Chapter President
