Meeting ADPi's in Random Places - Page 2

I had totally forgotten about this thread

So this happened a few weeks ago (day before Palm Sunday, actually). I was wearing an ADPi "hoodie" sweatshirt to a Saturday morning choir/bells rehearsal at my church, and one of my fellow bell ringers noticed my letters and said that she *thought* that the local she was apart of in college became ADPi right after she graduated. I told her about the possibility of affiliating with ADPi now, and she said she didn't think she'd have the time to do so

- but it was SO funny to talk about this and meet a "potential" sister from another chapter, if she had decided to affiliate when the local went national (if it was, indeed, ADPi).

I was in the Denver Airport on Saturday and while sitting at the gate a woman came up and starting talking to me about my dog. (My yorkie was flying with me.) Later on she said she finally "realized" I had on an ADPi shirt. She said that she was an ADPi in California. I didn't get her name or chapter unfortunately. She was visiting her daughter in Denver and was then flying to Pittsburgh to see her father. We were on the same flight to Pittsburgh and were even seated in the same row, however I was at the window across the aisle from her.

That is the exact reason why I wear ADPi shirts whenever I can. You never know when you will run into a sister!

This one beats all...
I was in the hospital after having a baby girl and the lactation specialist was an ADPi. I call it topless recruiting!

And welcome to GreekChat!! When you have a moment, will you read the Important posts at the top of the Forum, and tell us a little about yourself (and your legacy!)? Also, if you have an ebay screen name, we'll add it to our safe list.

I'm not sure what the "important posts at the top of the forum" are. ??

Where did you deliver? Congratulations on the birth of your daughter.
You weren't one of my patients were you? I'm another ADPi lactation specialist.

The threads in the ADPi Forum that start with the word "Important".

I delivered at SkyRidge. The nurses there are amazing!

I was goofing off on the member search on PO and found out that a good friend of my mom's who has known me my whole life is an ADPi as well as my husband's' best friend's wife (follow that?). I can't wait until I see either of them for the next time!!

Since Suzanne didn't respond to this yet, I have copied part of what I posted under "Legacies..."

A couple stories:

At one of my best friend's weddings two months ago, we found out that the groom's step-mom is an ADPi, so we all took a pic with her and she joined us when we serenaded the couple at the reception!

Yesterday, my friend Kyle was on a flight from Austin to Las Vegas, and he ended up sitting next to two of my chapter sisters! I thought it was weird since we graduated a couple years ago, and that they just happened to be flying out of a city different from the one we all went to school in. Anyway, he was excited that he met some of my sisters!

I was in the urgent care place for a cold this last Saturday. My doctor...an ADPi!

Sadly, she recalled her collegiate experience as not the best, which has made her not want to join an Alumnae Association. Hopefully, we can change her mind!

When I flew home to California for Christmas I changed planes in LA. The woman who sat next to me in the timy plabe I took up the coast was actually an ADPi in my chapter (Delta Delta)! I looked her up when I got home and her composite still hangs in our house!

Also, This past year, I lived in the dorms and instead of living in the freshman wing of our dorm, may of us were overflowed onto other floors. I ended up living on the Air Force ROTC floor. One day I was wearing an ADPi T-shirt and I ran across the hall to recruit a guy to do heavy lifting. A woman stopped me because of my shirt. It turned out that she was an ADPi in my chapter in the late seventies! It turns out that her son was one of the ROTC guys living on my floor! She was so excited that her son was living with not only me, but two other ADPis as well!

On a similar note, my friend bought a mug with the ADPi letters and crest on one side and the name DEBBIE emblazoned on the other side for her mother (who is named Debbie). Her mother, it turns out was an AOPi and my friend, a non Greek, was confused. Her mother put the mug on a display shelf in their kitchen with a bunch of nick nacks. It always tickles me to look up and see the ADPi crest...

Last year I went snow skiing with an ADPi (ZX) sister during Spring Break in New Mexico. It was warm outside, so I wore my waterproof ADPi pullover on the slopes. We skied into a ski lift line, and there was a girl to the left of us who saw us and said that she was an ADPi at another school in Texas and knew one of our ZX sisters! So we started talking about the sister we all knew, and then all of a sudden a woman who was further up in the line turned around and said that she was an ADPi, too!! At one random ski lift in New Mexico, there were four ADPi's in line together!

Also, one time last semester I went to a Starbucks to read for a philosophy class I was taking, and I happened to be wearing an ADPi sweatshirt. A woman walked up to me and put her hand on my knee and said that she just had to come over and say hi to me because she is an ADPi, too.

I wear letters as often as I can because I LOVE when that happens!
