Today I received this email!! I thought I would share it with all of you!! I have no clue who this woman is..but she sure touched my heart, as I am sure she will touch yours too........

Hello,

I'm writing to tell you what an incredible organization you have in Alpha Delta Pi. It was just 10 years ago that I went through recruitment at the University of Akron. I remember the first time I walked through the door at the Alpha Delta Pi house. I could immediately picture myself there with all of these wonderful women. I've never felt more welcome anywhere than I did there. I remember the following evening I received a phone call from a woman (I believe her name was X X). She extended an invitation to me to attend the next 2 parties at the ADPi house. I quickly accepted. I will never forget her words to me. "You will never feel alone on campus again." Wow! What powerful words. I knew right then how much I wanted to be an Alpha Delta Pi. I went to the next party and again felt completely welcome at their house. I met more women and ran into someone that I had known for a couple years, but didn't know she was an ADPi. Unfortunately, the following night was their last party. At the last minute a friend called and needed my help. I was torn, but knew I couldn't leave my friend in a bind. As I suspected, I lost my chance at becoming an Alpha Delta Pi. I was extended a bid for another sorority, but knew that if I couldn't be an Alpha Delta Pi I didn't want to join a sorority at all. It was a great experience just meeting those wonderful women and one that I will never forget. Not a day has gone by over the past 10 years where I didn't feel regret at missing that last party. I hope all of the women of Alpha Delta Pi realize what a treasure they have in their membership. First. Finest. Forever.

I've always wanted to tell someone what a lasting impression ADPi made on me but never did it until now. Your email address was the first one I found so I decided to send the note to you. I apologize for taking up your time. Thank you!

Best Regards,
