Hello beautiful ADPi's

My name is Shannan

Active or Alum: Alum May 03'

Positions: Pride Leader, Assistant NMC, Assistant Treasurer, Guard, Recruitment Info chair, Rho Gam (used to be called Rho Chi)

I am on the House Corporation and am in the office House Manager so I am in charge of our ADPi house. I am also VP of the Virtual Violets online alum assoc

Who joined: I joined ADPi because of how everyone treated each other. I loved how they were so down to earth and so real. I didnt want to join anything fake. Those girls were the best things for me. Not to mention I am a legacy. ( lots of family who are ADPis, but I didnt know my grandma was a ADPi till after I joined. We werent close until after I told her I was an ADPi then she and I became close until she passed away.)

Fave memory: Too many to name. The first three years I was in ADPi were the best times in the world I wouldnt take back anything except my last semester since I was so busy I didnt get to come around much and I regret missing my last semester there.

Hello

1- Southeast Missouri State
2- Delta Nu
3- Collegian
4- Gift Mart Chair
5- I joined ADPi for many reasons at first... We are very well known in my community, we are a very strong chapter... we are competitive and so on... however, now I realize that my chapter is strong not because we win, but because of the strong sisterhood that we all share.
6- I have to sat that my favorite ADPi memory so far is initiating my diamond sister. I love her dearly, and I was so proud to call her my sister.

5. Why you joined ADPi
A very strong legacy in the family helped. But I met someone who really wanted to make sure I made the choice for myself. Her genuine concern made my choice easy.

6. Favorite ADPi memory
So many in college, but anymore the things that stick with me are women that have really grown through college and that I have advised along the way. One of the women last year told me how much she just tried to impress me in her role. She was amazing and impressed me as a sister and as an adult and she will be a friend for a long time.

4. Currently I am the Alumnae Communications Director for District IV. I have been an Alumnae Association VP - Membership, Panhellenic Delegate (and then sec'y of that group) and when I was a collegian, I served as Giftmart Chair, (yes, I have the dangle too!), pride leader, assistant property manager, Membership Education Vice President & President. I was also a Recruitment Counselor

5. When I went through recruitment ADPi was the first chapter I visited on the first day. The sister I spoke with also ended up with me on the next round and then she said hi to me on the quad and used my name - I thought if they're all like that - then that is where I want to be!

6. There are many...I'll go with 2001 - District IV Leadership Conference - we were in Northbrook, IL and I was 7 months pregnant. (This is hard to tell w/o divulging ritual...) We re-installed Gamma Beta at Northwestern in conjunction with it and I assisted - I was given a job during initiation to do that allowed me to sit. I was all belly...picture that in initiation attire.
I am also honored to have had my photo taken with Miss Blake at the last convention she attended.

On the side - I have a strange ADPi hobby - when I go on vacations & I'm in (or going through) a town w/ an ADPi chapter that has a house, I find the house and take it's picture. I've got 8 so far...my dream is to someday take all of them...a girl's got to have retirement plans right?? I now also take a picture of the college campus if there isn't a chapter house. (And I've missed about 6 of those in my travels in the last 6 years.)

Welcome to the board Christy!! It is so nice to see another District IV sister here!! I believe we have communicated over email before...I was President of the Akron Area Alumnae Association in 2002 and have been on the board in other positions since 2000 (currently the newsletter/web editor)!! Good to have you here!

4. I joined ADPi because after I saw how much fun my other friends were having in various sororities, I wanted something like that too. It was also a way for me to meet alot of friends when I was away from home.

5. Hmm..so many. Probably the "pass the alphie" we had one year during our first formal recruitment in forever. Parties and formals too.

[honeychile]

Welcome, Karen, Sue, Katie & Christy (and anyone I missed)!!

Christy, I was curious if you know exactly where the Alpha Delta Pi plaque is located on UIC or UC campus? Everytime I'm in Chicago, I want to take a picture of it, but since Beloved is a GDI, I best know exactly where it is first!!

5. I still remember the person who convinced me to join ADPi- her name was Lisa. I didn't really want to go ADPi when I went through recruitment, but talking to her and seeing it through her eyes made me want to find out more. Now I know that I found where I belong. I LOVE ADPi, and I partly have her to thank for it.
6. Playing "I never" with my Alpha Class right after initiation. It was the first time I realized that I had so much more in common with the other girls that I thought I did! hehehe
6a. (sorry, I have lots of these) Meeting a random girl on the bus to chapter retreat. She is now my best friend in the whole world! I don't know what I would do without her!

One crazy night, we decided to raid the fraternity houses, since most of them were out of town for a sports tournament. We managed to move all of their identifying items around so when Sigma Pi came home, they had the SAE's trophies and composities in their house. We did this at 4 other houses too!
--------------------------------------

That is SO AWESOME!!! LOL, sounds like something my friends and I would have had fun doing!

5. Why you joined ADPi
I met a couple of the girls before rush and they were the best! They were genuine and I was able to make new friends since I decided not to pledge the same sorority as everyone else I went to high school with

6. Favorite ADPi memory
The long hours spent pomping for our HC lawn decoration that paid off with 2nd place finishes 2 years in a row!

4. ADPi and Panhelleic positions held--Chaplain, Pride Leader, StepSing Co-chair, Gamma Chi Recruitment Counselor

Alumnae Vice President of Membership

5. Why you joined ADPi-- I knew after waiting to join a sorority that the girls in ADPi that I had classes with were the girls for me. ADPi was truly one of the best things that happened to me, and couldn't have come at a better time. Even with opposition from family members and friends, I wouldn't trade it for the world!!! My ADPi sisters are the greatest sisters in the world!!!

6. Favorite ADPi memory-- Too many to count......but I'll try to narrow it down....
Bid Day, 2003 when I ran back to my sisters after 2 1/2 months of disaffiliation from my chapter because I was a Gamma Chi (even though that experience was awesome too!) Saying goodbye to some of my best friends was hard, but running back was fabulous! Running into the arms of a roommate I hadn't seen or spoken to in too long was unforgettable.

Singing All That Jazz for StepSing in our tribute to Broadway was fun, too. It's always nice to hear people compliment your solo singing with whoops and hollers!!!

5. I went to what I thought was a dinner at the house with a friend from the dorms - didn't realize I was being rushed until people with nametags started sitting next to me and they asked me for my phone number. I loved the girls and the house, so I accepted my bid a few days later.

6. Too many to start writing them out.
