Alpha Delta Pi - Zeta Chapter Southwestern University

When I went into recruitment freshman year, I was extremely nervous. I didn’t know a whole lot of people and everyone had been asking me if I was rushing my sister’s sorority (which happened to be ΑΔΠ). Most of the girls I did know from my sports team were in another particular sorority and it was common for girls on the team to join that sorority. I was very conflicted.
The first night of Recruitment, the ΑΔΠ party stuck out the most to me. I immediately felt like I’d already known many of the girls for a long time. They were excited to meet Sarah’s little sister, but none of them treated me like I wasn’t my own person. The second night I was still nervous, but was comforted by the fact that the ADPi’s actually ate the food they had out! Though I was still nervous going into the third day, day two is when I really started to feel at home. The Preference ceremony didn’t make me feel awkward or out of place. I felt like I was one of their sisters already.
Being in ΑΔΠ has been one of the biggest highlights of my college career so far and I expect it’ll always be one of the best parts of my life. I loved getting to officially be “double” sisters with Sarah, and getting a whole new group of sisters and friends. These girls are always there for me and I can’t imagine what it’d be like without them. - Carrie H., Z '11

	Irene in high school and Irene now are two very different people. I was just your from regular small-town Texas girl. Once I arrived at Southwestern, I changed for the better. I became involved, eager to help and more social. Interestingly enough, I was told I was not the "sorority" type which is true. When I decided to go through Formal Recruitment, it was a shock to many since no one though I would do it. Once Formal Recruitment started, I was nervous and afraid! But by the end of the first night, I knew I had found my home - ΑΔΠ. Receiving my bid from ΑΔΠ was one of the happiest moments of my life. I found a home where even though I might not fit the typical "sorority" type mold, I am loved and appreciated for my differences and uniqueness. I have met some of my closest friends in ΑΔΠ including my Diamond Sister - Cate J. and my fellow Z'11 sister - Emma D. Alpha Delta Pi has allowed me to grow into the person I am today! - Irene L., Z '12

When I did decided to go through recruitment, I made a pact with my two best friends that we would go to the same sorority. However, once recruitment started, I found that my heart belonged to a different sorority than theirs did. My heart belonged with the women of ΑΔΠ. With ΑΔΠ, I realized that I didn't have to try to impress anyone. I could be myself and they loved me for it. My two friends and I did end up going to different sororities, but we are happy for one another. They found their home, and I found mine. - Sarah P., Z '11
