The Epsilon Eta chapter of Alpha Delta Pi at MSU celebrated the dedication of the chapter’s new house on campus with a ceremony on April 17. MSU President Mark E. Keenum and First Lady Rhonda Keenum, an alumna of the chapter, were among those joining the celebration.

The 17,500-square-foot sorority facility on Robert Louis Jones Circle will house 44 residents and serve meals to all chapter members.

“We are so excited and proud of the work of our Alpha Delta Pi chapter here at Mississippi State University to build a new chapter house on our Greek row,” said Jackie Mullen, MSU assistant dean of students and director of student activities and fraternity/sorority life. “It is because of the tremendous alumni advisor team and exceptional student leaders at MSU that this dream has become a reality, and we are looking forward to welcoming their members into their new home.”

Alpha Delta Pi was first established at Mississippi State University in 1966 and enjoyed close to 20 years on campus before departing. The chapter was reestablished at MSU in 2013 and has grown to be a vibrant member of the fraternity/sorority community. Chapter members are heavily involved in campus leadership, academic honor societies, and service organizations.
