The Alpha Delta Pi Sorority House is one of the eight small houses on Sorority Hill, located north of 17th Street and between Avenues I and J.

The building originally housed members of the Caroline Belvin Society (or, CB's), one of the literary societies that existed on campus after the turn of the century. In 1959, the group became the charter members of the Delta Mu chapter of Alpha Delta Pi sorority.
