“When people ask why I joined a sorority, I often say, "to be a part of something larger than myself." However, my experience has been far more profound than that simple phrase suggests. As a freshman from out of state in the fall of 2022, I was seeking a community of women who would accept me for who I am. From the moment I engaged with Alpha Delta Pi during recruitment, I felt an immediate connection; they embraced me with warmth and understanding. Joining ADPi has not only introduced me to my closest friends, but it has also empowered me to believe in myself and step outside my comfort zone. The bonds I’ve formed here are lifelong, built on shared experiences, support, and encouragement. Through this sisterhood, I have discovered the value of authentic relationships and the strength that comes from being part of a community that lifts each other up. This journey has truly transformed my college experience and shaped the person I am today.”
