Alpha Delta Pi was built in 1926 in the French Chateau style from the designs of  Berwyn architects, Clare & Coen; Willam H. Clare was a 1913 graduate of the University of Illinois.  The Sigma Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi has been on campus since 1912 and bought the lot in 1921.  The contract for the house was let to Dee Todd of Urbana, who had constructed several other chapter houses on campus.  The addition, on the north, was added in 1953 on the site of the sorority’s annex.  The sorority began as a local group, Alpha Alpha, but petitioned to join the national sorority of Alpha Delta Pi in 1912.
