5. Why you joined ADPi
My freshman year at Baylor was not very fun. I made good grades, but I didn't have very many friends and I was kinda lonely. My dad was a founding brother of the Pikes at Baylor, and he told me that I needed to rush a sorority because he loved Pi Kappa Alpha and he knew I would love being in a sorority, too. I wasn't sure about it, but my RA at the time was an ADPi and she was really the only person I knew who was in a sorority, but she was very nice and so I thought it couldn't hurt. I had so much on my mind during the recruitment parties that I lost track of time and ended up getting to the ADPi Skit Day party about two minutes LATE!!!!! I thought, that's it, it's over for me, so much for being in a sorority. I fully expected the girls to be rude to me. Turns out I couldn't have been more wrong. I apologized to the girl that brought me into the party, and she laughed and told me not to worry about it and said that the sisters called being late "being on pi time." My RA walked up to me during the party to say hi--turns out she was the President-elect! I never felt more at ease. The girls were genuine and down to earth. Nothing was a competition with them and I felt like they accepted me for who I am. ADPi has been the best thing that has ever happened to me.
6. Favorite ADPi memory
There are sooo many, but I'd have to say that when my little sister, Mallory, decided to join ADPi at Baylor was one of the happiest days of my life. Since I'm President this year and she was an Alpha, I had to conduct the Initiation ceremony for her Alpha class. It was really hard to keep my voice steady and my eyes dry. Sometimes I still get emotional when I'm opening the chapter business meeting with ritual and we're looking at each other as we recite.
Also, last summer I went with two of my ADPi sisters Kristina and Sarah, and my little sister to Oxford as part of a study abroad trip at Baylor called Baylor in Oxford. It has been a year and I still think about how much fun we had in London and Paris and Edinburgh and Oxford!

Pi love!
Leslie

Another Leslie!! :) Welcome, Sister!!!!

Welcome to the board, Leslie! We're glad to have you (and how wonderful to be able to share your sisterhood with your sister - that's awesome!)

Are you going to be at Convention next week as the chapter delegate for Zeta Chi?

YEA!!! Another Leslie!! Welcome, sister.

I've actually posted on the general chat a few times, but I felt maybe it was time to wander over here and introduce myself...

1. University of Texas (in Austin)

2. Delta

3. Collegian

4. So far, just area head

5. I actually didn't go through formal recruitment. I refused to because for certain reasons that won't be brought up because I would have had to go to a certain sorority and I really, really didn't like the particular chapter. I was going through COR in the spring with a couple of sororities here when I randomly ran into a girl I'd known from the summer who invited me to a dinner at the house, and from the moment I walked into the house everyone made me feel welcome. All the girls came up to talk to me and introduce themselves and made it evident that they actually wanted me to be their sister, as opposed to the others which made it seem like they just needed another body to meet quota and pay dues.

6. My pledge class was tiny as the first and last spring class. We had 13 compared to the 50 that had (and still do) come in in the fall, so it was amazing getting to know every single girl and actually spend time with them. After initiation when they finally lead us into the dining room and all our parents were there was one of the greatest feelings in the world. It was amazing to be able to share that experience with my new sisters and my parents.

Welcome, TXADPi! We're glad to have you here and thrilled to have you as a sister! :)

Thank you everybody for welcoming me!

Welcome, TXADPi!!

Polarpi, yes I will be going to Convention next week and I'm sooo excited! I can't wait to see so many sisters in one place and all wearing white!

To all the Leslie's: Just out of curiosity, what are your middle names? I'm wondering how many of us are Leslie Ann's!

Ah... just the two of you are LA's. I'm Leslie Michelle.

Welcome and hello to both of you! And, by the way, I have a 9 year old daughter named Lesley!!

My Lesley legacy is Lesley Elisabeth, after me!!

none yet! i just got initiated on 4/29/05
5. Why you joined ADPi
i DID NOT want to be in a sorority during rush. As the year went on, greek life just looked more and more intriguing. My best friend went ADPi, so i would go over to the house with her a lot. I fell in love with so many of the girls, and i loved everything about it. Then when i saw the way they acted on campus, i realized it was where i belonged. so an opening became available, and i was open bidded into ADPi!! And it was the greatest day of my freshman year!!!!!!
6. Favorite ADPi memory
So far has gotta be initiation! i just thought it was the coolest thing ever..! :) I am sure there are millions of favorite memories to come, though!

Welcome to GC, ADPi_Nyss! Glad to have you on the boards and as a sister! :)

Pi love,

4. None yet, I was just initiated this spring!
5. To me ADPi embodied all that a sorority should: sisterhood, loyalty, scholarship, philanthropy, fun!
6. I haven't had too many memories yet. But, I loved pref round, initiation and spring formal! Also, Spring Clean Oxford was a fun one.

Welcome to the board sweetie!!!!

Welcome, EtaEpsilove! I am a new Delta, too! I was just initiated in Fall of 2004. Congrats on joining ADPi, I'm sure you'll continue to make lots more memories in the years to come! I know I can't wait for the next 3 years! :D

1. College or University/ Chapter: Zeta Omega (UCF) then i transfered to Epslion Lambda (USF). I am now an advisor to Alpha Beta (Iowa) where i am in grad school.
3. Alumnae
4. ADPi and Panhellenic positions held: ADPi Tampa Alumni Association, I was a pride leader a ton of times, RVP, and MEVP
5. Why you joined ADPi- it was a perfect fit! All the girls seemed so nice and all of them were really involved on campus. they had the highest GPA for something like 15 semesters in a row and won every award on campus - and had a reputation for being classy, smart, and nice to everyone.
6. Favorite ADPi memory: there are so many i cant even count- but probably my favorite is initating my <> sis tiffany. she almost didnt get initated (its a long long story) - but then went on to become chapter president, greek woman of the year, homecomming queen, etc... and HER little <> is now chapter president!

Welcome to the latest on the board! I have had 35 wonderful years as an ADPi as of this year, and I know those of you just initiated have a lifetime of memories in store for you as well!

I so agree! Haven't had quite as many years, but one of the precious days of sorority involvement is when you realize you've been an ADPi longer than you haven't! :)

1. College or University

6. Favorite ADPi memory
There are sooooooo many, Alpha Retreat, shhhh, 2001 part 2. One of my alpha class members was kidnapped, because we threw water on the president, and we had to find her. IT was a BLAST. (and no we were not hazed, just had a grand ol time, we were studying for our national exam)

Welcome to the boards, onehundone! :D

Hope you enjoy it as much as I told you you would ;)

Welcome onhundone! We're glad to have you!


I was so sorry to hear about your chapter closing. I can't even imagine what I would do or how I would handle it. Stay strong and know that your sisters all across the world love you! Pi love!

Welcome, onehundone! When you get a few minutes, please make sure that you acquaint yourself with the Important threads.

My chapter closed, then recolonized several times. I have to admit that I was never caught in the process, but it never feels good - even when you've been away for years. The good news is, the chapter hit Total last year!

1. Murray State University
2. Epsilon Omicron
3. Alumnae (because i transfered to a school without ADPi)
4. I had to transfer before I had the privilge of holding positions.
5. It was late in my freshman year when I joined. I knew most of the sisters of Alpha Delta Pi, because all of my friends were. I felt at home with the women of ADPi,
6. The last sister-hood retreat I was able to attend. I had a wonderful time bonding with my little and getting to spend the last few days I had in Murray with my sisters.

1. Indiana University
2. Beta Alpha
3. Delta
4. none..but I was voted Alpha of the Year
5. The diversity of the women and how they were so welcoming and easy to get along with.
6. Too many...probably things I shouldn't mention on the board!

Surr_EO_ADP, I just love your signature!! Where on earth did you find that? I've always heard wonderful things about Murray State's chapter - I'm sure you miss the sisterhood, as a transfer. If you run into lilcatwings, she's also a transfer student.


And welcome again to VAgirl18! Congratulations on being Alpha of the Year!!

Welcome, Welcome VAgirl18!!!!

Congrats on being elected Alpha of the year. That is pretty cool!!!!

Actually one of the girls from MSU's chapter sent that to a lot of us. I'll have to ask her where she got it from. It made me smile so I figured it would be good to share that with everyone. :D

It's lovely! Do you mind if I borrow it for my chapter's Recruitment?

new ADPi on board!

From one Georgia girl to another-however it is you got here!!

new to Oregon
 

My husband and I just moved out here this summer--born and raised in Georgia--I love Oregon but a bit homesick for the fall traditions of rush and football! And I don't think there any ADPi chapters here.

1. Mercer University
2. Beta Sigma
3. Pround alumnae
4. Rush chairman and chapter EVP
5. ADPI was the most warm and welcoming of all the sororities on campus and by far the best group of sisters to be a part of!
6. Having the opportnity to be an ADPi sister in Macon, Georgia...to visit the graves of our founders, the ADPi room at the Cannonball house and Wesleyan College during initiation week. It was an incredible experience!

1. Mercer University
2. Beta Sigma
3. Collegian
4. No official offices because of class commitments, but I've been on several committees
5. ADPi was the only house where I not only remembered the girls' names I'd talked to, but also the one where I had conversations other than stuff like "Do you like going college?", "Where have you been out to since you've been at college?", "We do a lot of stuff with such and such fraternity", etc.
6. One of my favorite memories so far was last year at Spirit Week. We went to a sister's beach house at Tybee Island, and we got bombared by Hurricane Bonnie. There were close to 70 of us, huddled together in a small cellar while the rain and wind waged on outside, no power inside, and we were singing "Boom Boom I Want To Go ADPi." It was awesome.

Hello!! I just recieved my bid from ADPi today!!

1. University of Illinois
2. Sigma Chapter
3. Collegian
4. No positions yet, obviously, but I can't wait to get involved!
5. I joined ADPi because I loved all the girls who rushed me! Something I couldn't say about any other house. I just felt like I belonged :-)
6. Well...bid day for now!! Today was amazing, and I'm looking forward to many more like it :-)
