What is typically the age range for new members joining Alpha Delta Pi?

The age range of 19-24 years old is typically reflective of the college demographic that Alpha Delta Pi, like many sororities, targets for new member recruitment. Most members join during their college years, which generally starts around 18 and can go up to around 24, as students may take different amounts of time to complete their degrees or participate in additional educational opportunities. This age range captures the majority of students during the initial years of their higher education journey, ensuring that new members are at a similar life stage, which can foster bonding and community within the sorority.

In contrast, the other age ranges either start too early or extend beyond the typical undergraduate experience. For example, options that begin at 17 include high school students who are not yet in college, thus less likely to engage in sorority membership, which is historically reserved for college women. Others that extend the age range to 25 or older may include graduate students but do not accurately reflect the primary recruitment target for new memberships. Therefore, the age range of 19-24 precisely encompasses the core demographic for new Alpha Delta Pi members.
