The Alpha Delta Pi sorority has reported that its prized lion statue, Alphie, has gone missing sometime over the past week.
The original ADPi lion sat on the back porch of the chapter house and was given to the sorority upon the opening of the house, giving it lots of sentimental value.
The sorority is asking for the lion to be returned in good condition — no questions asked — by the start of break, or else they will report it to the UCF Police Department as theft and destruction of property.
The theft of the lion comes just before ADPi celebrates its 30th anniversary of installation in January, with many alumni coming out to commemorate the event.
