Our Story

The Founding of Theta Omicron

On September 28th, 2012, the Theta Omicron chapter of Alpha Delta Pi was colonized headed by President Megan Chandler. Since our colonization we have initiated over 500 sisters, cemented ourselves on the campus of James Madison University, and started to define who we are as a chapter. Together, our sisterhood has achieved great accomplishments that will continue to grow.
