History
Alpha Delta Theta was established on February 1, 1944 by two local sororities, Alpha Delta Tau of the University of Minnesota and Tau Sigma of Marquette University . It was founded to unite all women entering into or engaging in the field of medical technology, to promote social and intellectual fellowship among its members, and to raise the prestige of medical technologists by inspiring the members to greater group and individual effort.
The Marquette chapter was designated as Alpha chapter and the Minnesota group as the Beta chapter.
Alpha Delta Theta joined the Professional Panhellenic Association in 1952.
As of 2020, Alpha Iota chapter at University of the Sciences in Philadelphia is still active.[2]

The official pin is described as six-sided with a black background, and bears the Greek letters of ΑΔΘ.
The biannual publication is The Scope.
Both collegiate and graduate/Alumni chapters are created.[1]
