Creed:
I Believe in Alpha Delta Pi.
I Believe that my sorority is more than a ritual or a symbol; that it is a way of life.
I Believe that the principles established by our founders in 1851 are enduring attributes, exemplifying the highest ideals of Christian womanhood.
I Believe that our motto, "We live for each other" expresses the true spirit of fraternity; and that by living this motto my life will be enriched by true friendships and by unselfish service to mankind.
I Believe that the privilege of membership in Alpha Delta Pi brings the responsibility to do my best in whatever I undertake, always remembering that leadership requires confidence tempered with humility and courage blended with tolerance.
I Believe that I must strive to become a well-balanced person by following the dictates of the four points symbolized by our diamond-shaped badge: first, strengthening my own character and personality; second, watching my attitudes toward my fellow-beings; third, recognizing the value of high educational standards; and fourth, developing faith and loyalty.
I Believe that these four guide-posts, guarded by the stars and friendly hands clasped in the Adelphean bonds of fellowship, will lead me to achieve a rich and useful life.

*sigh* I tried not to highlight virtually all of it, but I did.

Purpose:
The society shall be called Adelphean, and shall have for its object the mental, moral, social, and domestic improvement of its members.

I love all of it. Our creed spoke to me in so many ways when I first read it, and it means even more now.
