Welcome, OhSoSmoothKalyn! My chapter always felt close to yours, since we did a lot of the same Recruitment projects. Do y'all still have that blue lion costume, or has it turned mangy by now?

[OhSoSmoothKalyn]

Thanks! I randomly found this forum last night when I was searching for new ADPi cheers for the chapter to use at intramurals... thought I would join so I can talk to my sisters... I pledged in Fall 2005 and I have yet to see a blue lion costume, but we do have this big gigantic lion from the early '90s that's been in our office for years! It's really cute though... What chapter are you from? This year we worked with UNA, Samford, and Troy during Recruitment... it was pretty cool

Our chapters both did a funky Roaring Twenties skit, I'm trying to remember the name. I don't even remember how the Blue Lion came into it, so much as we were constantly FedExing back & forth! I'll have to ask someone... Oh, I was initiated into Alpha Iota - which is why I tend to freak out a little when people abbreviate Alumnae Initiation to AI!!!!

4. I was Recording Secretary last year, and I started up the Intramural MVP chair this year.

5. I hated the idea of sororities when I first went to school. A friend asked me to come hang out with her and her sorority sisters at a basketball game (now I know it was a COR event) and I hastily agreed. After walking in the door of the house, I noticed I knew a lot of people there from my high school days and everyone was just so friendly--how could I say no? Looking back, it was the best decision I've ever made. :]

6. Hmm, it's a tie.. either the excitement of getting my two AMAZING diamond sisters this year, or last fall recruitment when my best friend came through. During pref night, I started crying while I was singing to her, and we laughed and cried together the whole time! It was phenomenal.

Welcome to the Alpha Delta Pi Forum, diamondgirl1851!! I love the pictures I've seen of your chapter house!

When you get a moment, you may want to read the Stickied Threads. Maybe not so much the ebay thread anymore, but the rest are important.

Glad to have you aboard!

5. I was away from home for the first time, my good friend had gone through fall rush, so when I transfered in the spring I decided to rush. I spent the whole night with ADPi. What's funny is I had every intention of going to Chi-O because my friend was one. But I felt so comfortable with the girls and had such a blast with them, that I stayed the whole time. I was offered my bid the next day.
6. This is so embarrassing. I was still an Alpha. My chapter was doing our all house philanthropy, which happened to be called "legendary legs", (briefly, it was a contest between frat boys. We took pictures of their legs, put a table on the mall and people voted by putting money in the box that had the guy's leg picture taped to it. I believe dollars would add points and coins would subtract points). Anyways, we went to a frat to serenade them. Just standing there listening to our Philanthropy chair explain the contest to the guys and what they win.
If a guy won, they won a round trip airfare ticket to somewhere (I can't remember where) and they could take one person. Well our Philanthropy chair said "you can take one of your frat brothers" and suddenly I blurt our "or you can take one of us". The guys start laughing, my sisters start laughing and I just want to crawl under a rock and die. (I feel I should mention that the entire time I was staring at this gorgeous frat guy). Even today, years later, I feel like such a dork.

5. Why you joined ADPi
This is a very itneresting story. When I did my college tour in early 1998 before leaving HS I went to look at University of Pittsburgh. That's when I met Ten (short for Kristen) Anthony. She was one of the tour guides. Now as a tour guide she wasn't wearing any letters saying that she belonged to ADPi but she spoke very freely about Greek Life on campus and I became interested.

I went to ADPi and met up with Ten again and this time she was wearing her letters again. Well I was one of 3 that went to Pitt from my HS and didn't really know anyone and had no interest in making friends with my roommate. So I started rush and there was Ten again when I went to ADPi's suite. I was in love with ADPi from the first time stepped foot near their table and met my future sisters.

If it wasn't for her I would of never been apart of ADPi and I miss her like you wouldn't believe. I lost contact with her but I'm doing my best to find her again. She is more my sister than anyone would believe. So Violets to Ten and her baby where ever they may be.

6. Favorite ADPi memory
This is funny. After an informal meeting my Alpha Class kidnapped our Alpha Mom Amie and we sent the rest of the sisters on a treasure hunt for her. The girls that set it up screwed up the clues and they ended up going up and down Cardiac Hill on Pitts campus twice though they were smart enough to take the Pitt buses up.

AND

Our one formal Ten and I drug my guy out onto the floor cause he never danced before. Both Ten and I ended up dancing with him at the same time. I never saw that guys face so red in my life.

happy tear to my eye. AND all the girls in the chapter. They
were all so sweet, and I felt like I was at home.

Positions Held:
none yet

Why did you join?
I knew a sophomore who was an ADPi (we did an orientation program together) and she is absolutely fabulous (she's now my <> sister actually!)...I knew that ADPi was the place for me on Pref night, our chapter has a tradition that when you sit down your rusher-person gives you a black diamond that has your name on it. It's construction paper but in silver ink, all of the girls who remember you write comments about meeting you, your conversations, etc. etc. When I got my black diamond and saw all of the genuine comments by these WONDERFUL girls, both those I had known and those I met, I knew I belonged there. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to keep the black diamonds (you know the Panhel "gift" rule) and they throw them away after Pref b/c of Panhel rules. I wish I could have mine!

Favorite Memory:
I'm not sure yet I really like just walking around campus and seeing all of my fellow "Shadypi" faces Our chapter doesn't have a house (no greeks at Duke do) but there are 120 of us ADPis walking around (we have 40 a pledge class) and I am bound to see at least 5 a day!

Hey, I'm an ADPi, Zeta Rho at Vanderbilt. I actually am from Wichita and graduated from East High. I also went to Catholic school until high school, so I know lots of people from Wichita who went to KU. I was wondering who from the '01 class at East(Fall '01 pledge class?) and Kapaun went ADPi...

5. My first memory of ADPi was being rushed by two girls, both of whom were wearing these huge engagement rings. It just happened that the two girls who were getting married happened to talk to me that day -- I had never felt so young and immature! My diamond sister rushed me all week and we became pretty close.

6. Some of my favorite memories are just getting ready to go out with my friends on Friday and Saturdays. A bunch of us who were really tight lived in the basement our junior year (one of whom was AzureBlue) which made us even closer! Some of my favorite memories were from Spring Break when 30 of us went to Panama City Beach -- too much to say about it. It was also great being a Rho Chi and seeing some of my favorite PNMs join ADPi!
