I feel like I've had many moments and continue to have moments where I just *know* I was supposed to be an ADPi
My first one was definately during our COR when I started going to the Recruitment events. There were two or three other chapters on campus who were also recruiting, but I really only wanted to try going to ADPi's because I liked how they were the most down-to-earth group on my campus (Since I couldn't go through rush in Fall, I did a little observing before deciding to try spring rush
)
I will openly admit I was EXTREMELY NERVOUS when I first went to the house for their first recruitment event. The first sister I talked to was just so AMAZING! Even though she probably didn't know it, she made me feel completely "at home" and after talking to her I wasn't nervous at all about meeting and talking to the other sisters who were present. I will never forget how she completely erased all my nervousness and made me feel at home, and I'm so glad she's my sister now!!!
I think my ultimate moment of when I knew I was meant to be in Alpha Delta Pi was the week of our Diamond Days. I was a terrible mess because for some reason, everything just seemed to go wrong that week! I bombed a huge test I had studied all night for, I got a flat tire, and my boyfriend broke up with me the night before initation... so needless to say, I was a complete wreck! No matter how bad things had went during the daytime of Diamond Days with my car, or my test, our Diamond Days events were my saving grace because it was a time I could just forget all the bad stuff that happened and have fun & enjoy the company of the ladies I would call sisters! The night my boyfriend broke up with me was TERRIBLE! Unfortunately, it happened after that night's Diamond Days event, so I couldn't just go somewhere to temporarily forget. The rest of the entire night and the following day I was in shambles. My Alpha class and a lot of the sisters helped me through it, and the following evening during initation I was just thinking how AMAZING it is to have such wonderful sisters!!
