UNC Alpha Delta Pi
MEET BETA UPSILON
"We Live For Each Other"
Welcome to Our Chapter!
Welcome to the website of the Beta Upsilon Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi at UNC Chapel Hill!
Originally called the Adelphean Society, ADPi was founded in 1851 as the first secret society for women. Our motto, "We live for each other," truly encompasses how we view our relationships with each other and our community. At ADPi, we value friendship and service while also emphasizing academics and leadership development, encouraging participation in outside organizations. Founded in 1939, the women of the Beta Upsilon chapter of Alpha Delta Pi have formed a strong and lasting sisterhood, and we look forward to opening our arms to a new pledge class every fall. We are proud of the unique qualities all of our members bring to our chapter that have shaped it into the community and sisterhood it is today.
Letter from our President
Welcome to the Beta Upsilon Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill! My name is Lizzie Long, and I am honored to serve as the Chapter President this year.
Alpha Delta Pi has been more than just a part of my college experience—it has shaped it in ways I never imagined. Growing up, I saw the powerful friendships my mom gained through her Greek life experience. Her stories inspired me to seek out a sisterhood where I could find the same lifelong friendships and support. Little did I know I would find so much more in ADPi.
When I first arrived at UNC as a freshman from Virginia, I was uncertain about my major, future, and how I’d fit into such a big community. But from the moment I met the women of ADPi during recruitment, everything felt right. Their warmth and authenticity stood out, and I knew this was a place where I could truly belong. Over time, these women have become my closest friends and my biggest inspirations.
One of the most meaningful lessons I’ve learned in ADPi is that you don’t have to fit into one mold. Here, I’ve found friends with diverse interests and perspectives who encourage me to embrace every part of myself. They’ve shown me that it’s possible to be many things at once—to pursue different passions, form deep connections, and grow into a whole person. This sisterhood has helped me to live out our motto, "We Live For Each Other," by encouraging a space where authenticity is celebrated.
Thanks to ADPi, I’ve experienced unforgettable moments, from living with my best friends to traveling the world and making memories in the ADPi house this year. These friendships have carried me through laughter, challenges, and everything in between, and they inspire me daily to be a better friend and leader.
As Chapter President, I am honored to lead this incredible chapter, and I can’t wait to see what this year holds for us.
Loyally,
Lizzie Long
Beta Upsilon Chapter President
