Meeting ADPi's in Random Places

[emleepc]

There's a gold Saturn that parks in the same deck as me for work......I see the car every day almost, but never run into the owner. (It's a sister from Vandy, I deduce from the Vanderbilt sticker above the ADPi sticker on the back windshield). One day, hopefully, we'll be able to meet.....

You should leave a note on her car! I bet she would be excited to meet you too!

My ADPi roommate and I were walking around a community fair this weekend and we stopped in front of a jewelry stand to admire some bracelets. I noticed a set of sorority bracelets (beaded bracelets with sorority letters in blocks) and the one that was holding the "place of honor" was an ADPi bracelet. I motioned to my roommate.

"Hey roomie, look! It's an ADPi bracelet!"

We smiled, thinking about ADPi, and then almost had a heart attack because the woman running the booth squealed, "WHO's AN ADPI? I'M AN ADPI! DIAMONDS! You girls get 50% off anything you want! We all had to pay dues. 50% off!"

She was too cute! We didn't buy anything, but how fun!

okay, this isn't entirely random, but still kinda weird! The girl who lives across the street from me is the same age as me. We went to different high schools and so we didn't hang out really. We both went to different colleges. One day I get a message from her saying how she couldn't believe that I was an ADPi, because she had joined ADPi at her school! Interesting how that worked out! And I am taking summer classes this summer at my local community college. I didn't think I'd know anyone, but I walked in on the first day and found out she was in one of my classes! That's about the only ADPi I've run into so far outside of my chapter and at DLC!

Last week, at my husband's office in the break room, I was talking to one of his employees about her mother's sorority, because I am getting recs for several of the girls around here. I knew this girl's mother had been in charge of Panhellenic teas here at one time, and needed to get some info from her. Anyway, one of the drug reps who had provided lunch that day, heard us talking about sororities, and heard my answer when the girl asked me what sorority I was in. The drug rep said, "I'm an ADPi!" So, obviously, we spent the rest of the lunch talking! She graduated from Georgia College and State University. I told her that my daughter and I had recently visited the school, and that I had met some of the girls from her chapter. It was neat to meet another ADPi, as it has been quite a while since that has happened to me.

We were on our way to District and we all planned to wear our philanthropy jerseys that were red and the letters were in the McDonald M's. We had to use the bathroom on the way there, so on the exit there was only a McDonalds. We go in and wait in this long line. There was an old woman in line that noticed we were ADPi's and told us that she used to be one also. I just thought it was neat that we saw her at McDonalds on the way to district!

I was working at the local country club this summer and on my next to last day one of the hostesses and I were chatting. Turns out she's an alumna from Zeta Sigma!

Ok, so today I was doing my orientation for my program for grad school... So through the day I ended up talking to the Programs Administrator for the program a bunch... She just this past May finished her grad school program, so she is fairly similar in age to me... So we just talk and joke a bunch... We started commenting we should hang out sometime and what not... So then we were commenting on something and it came up that I am in a sorority (talking about something from my undergraduate times)... And she goes hey so am I, which one are you are member of... I say Alpha Delta Pi, and her face kind of goes into shock... She is an adpi also... So that was really fun, and gave us more to chat about...

She is actually from the University of Arkansas chapter, but had gone to graduate school at a few different places...

I have run into ADPi's a couple times

1 time at American Eagle I saw a girl wearing ADPi letters and she was from Sigma chapter @ university of illinois

1 time at Express a girl was wearing ADPi shirt but she left the store before I could go up to her!

Also my best friend from high school pledged ADPi at university of illinois and then I joined the next semester at Baylor university...so now we are friends and sisters!!

Finally, in the latest issue of US News and World Report, the "Best colleges issue" now currently being sold...there is a picture of a girl in an ADPi sweatshirt in the table of contents! Not exactly running into a sister, but nice to see letters in a national publication!

I found an ADPi - down the street from me recently! I LOVE the member search engine on P.O.L.

Today was Race for the Cure and we had "TEAM ADPi". So I decided I wanted to go and get some free goodies. I approached the channel 12 booth, which sponsers "Buddy Check" (a program where it matches women up and they remind each other to do their self breast exams once a month). Anyways, because of "TEAM ADPi" I was wearing the shirt I love ADPi (the one from gift mart with the heart and our greek letters) and an ADPi hat. The woman who handed me my free bag was really nice and out of the blue she says that she is an ADPi from Michigan. Color me shocked! I told her that we had a team and a bunch of ADPi's were present. I also mentioned that unfortunately a the collegians couldn't be present because of parents weekend at ASU.

I of course went back the group and relayed the story, which they all found quite amusing (and which led to the discussion of getting Phoenix Alumnae Association business cards because we always seem to run into a sister or two at big public events such as this one).

I was at Target buying stuff I didn't need and I saw a Gamma Rho checking out in front of me. I met up with her in the parking lot and chatted for a bit
