| ALPHA DELTA SIGMA.
THE local Greek letter society known as Alpha Delta
Sigma was organized by six young ladies of Tufts College in the Fall of 1895, and is not the outcome of hasty or
immature plans. Its existence was conceived before the close
of the last college year, and during the summer, plans were
made for its establishment and promotion.
During the first month of the present college year, the aims
and purposes of the society were definitely decided in preliminary meetings; and by the third week in October, a constitution and by-laws had been adopted, and a general outline for
the work of the ensuing year agreed upon.
The first initiation was held November 14th, when eight
young women were received into membership, making a total
of fourteen. A second initiation took place on December 9th,
when the roll of members was increased to fifteen.
While the organization and method of the society are secret,
it nevertheless is established on a broad and liberal basis and
aims to be an agency for stimulating right activities. Its
brief existence has borne ample testimony to the belief of its
founders, that the scope of college life among the women
of Tufts would be materially broadened and enriched by a
harmony of personal interests. In the furtherance of the
aims of their society its members firmly believe that they
have at heart the best interests of the individuals enrolled as
well as of the institution to which they belong; and by faithful and earnest adherence to the principles of its foundation,
the members of Alpha Delta Sigma hope to secure for their
society an honorable standing among college sororities.
