Emily DelSordo

“Hi!!! My name is Emily DelSordo and I’m from Hillsborough, New Jersey. I’m a freshman Elementary Education major and I would absolutely love to teach 3rd or 4th graders! When I was trying to decide what school would be my home for the next four years, there was no doubt Clemson was the place for me. Clemson has always been my childhood dream school and my family loves Clemson football so I can’t believe this dream became a reality! I’m really looking forward to getting involved in everything Clemson has to offer including Clemson Hope, ClemsonLIFE, and CUGA. Some of my favorite places to go in Clemson include the South Carolina Botanical Gardens, the Dikes at Lake Hartwell, and of course, Death Valley. I love game days, nature walks, the beach, hanging with my family & friends, and ice cream (especially Spill the Beans!!) This semester has been the best three months of my life and I’m so excited to come back in the spring. I’ve met some of the best people through ADPi and I can’t wait to make more memories and lifelong friendships with my sisters! Go Tigers!!!” -Emily DelSordo, AC ‘20

Kate Dipalma

“My name is Kate Dipalma and I am a sophomore from Greenville, South Carolina. My major is business management and I want to pursue a career in medical sales. I chose Clemson because it was always my dream school growing up. A fun fact about me is I am also a cheerleader here at Clemson! I’m thankful to be a part of ADPi and the wonderful sisterhood it has to offer.” -Kate Dipalma, AC ‘20

Canton Moehler

“Hey everyone! My name is Canton Moehler and I am a sophomore from Atlanta, Georgia majoring in Psychology! When applying for college, I really wanted to look for a school where I would feel welcomed with open arms and free to be myself. Clemson really caught my eye because of the family atmosphere, good academics, Greek life, and, of course, the football!! I wanted to try something new and adventure out of my comfort zone, and Clemson was just the place for me! Since then, I have loved being a Tiger and a part of such an amazing community, especially becoming a sister of ADPi! It has been such a cool and special experience meeting girls from all over and joining something bigger than myself! I absolutely love spending time with friends, whether that's on Monday nights at YoungLife club with TL Hanna students, going on hikes (or anything else to keep me active and up on my feet), a Bachelorette night in with the girls, or a fun night out on the town in Greenville/Atlanta! I am forever grateful for Clemson and ADPi, and I can’t wait to see where the rest of my time here in Tiger Town will take me!” -Canton Moehler, AC ‘20

Erin Hoover

“Hey guys! My name is Erin Hoover, and I am from Atlanta, Georgia. I am a freshman studying Pre-Professional Health Science on the Pre-Med track with an intended minor in Psychology. I hope to pursue my goal of becoming a Physician’s Assistant or Occupational Therapist. Clemson first caught my eye when I was in middle school as my two cousins and brother decided to attend Clemson University. When I visited a Clemson football game, I instantly knew this is where I wanted to go to college. The orange and purple were everywhere I went and I loved it! The vast school spirit is what sparked my love for the university. As I continued to visit the campus throughout my senior year of high school, I continually noticed the “Clemson Family'' that is always talked about throughout the Clemson community. From the beginning, I knew that Clemson was and would be a special place to me, and that did not change after my first semester here. I feel that I have already made lifelong friends through Alpha Delta Pi, and I have fulfilled my dream to be a Clemson Cheerleader on the All-Girl team. I love spending my Saturdays on (or as close to) the sidelines and cheering on the best football team in the country! Along with cheering, I love to go on runs, spend time with my friends and family, travel to any beach or lake, play tennis, and go to concerts. I am extremely grateful to be a part of ADPi’s sisterhood because I have met the most genuine, caring, and selfless girls. I cannot wait for three and a half more years with them! Boom Boom and GO TIGERS!!” -Erin Hoover, AC ‘20

Sarah Beth Holloway

“Hey y'all!! My name is Sarah Beth Holloway, and I am a sophomore from Augusta, Georgia. I am a Secondary Education and English major with dreams of teaching high school English at a Title 1 school. Being a student at Clemson has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. As a little girl, I knew that there was something different about Clemson. My favorite part of the year was always football season when my family would pack up and head to Clemson for the weekend. This season was the 19th season that I have spent in Death Valley, making it one of my favorite places in the world! Clemson has always felt like home to me. Getting my acceptance letter was one of the best days of my life. Last year I was a part of the Bridge to Clemson program and was able to get involved in Young Life and meet some of my very best friends! This August I was placed as a Young Life leader at Seneca High School! Go Cats! Coming into college, I always knew that being in a sorority was something that I wanted to be a part of. My mom was an ADPi at Clemson and growing up she would tell me about the sweet memories she made with her sisters. When I was going through recruitment, ADPi felt like home because the girls that I talked to reminded of my mom- caring, compassionate, fun, and loyal. Going ADPi was that much sweeter because not only did I get to be a part of an amazing group of women, but also because I got to share something really special with my mom! Being a part of ADPi is one of the best things that has happened to me. I am so thankful for the friendships I have made and the way ADPI has pushed me to be the best person I can be. Getting to do life and learn from girls like Caroline Daw, Charlotte Anne Beers, Avery Anderson, Rebecca Lannamen, and so many more has been one of the biggest blessings of life this far! I look forward to the memories I will continue to make during my time here at Clemson. I am so thankful to be a part of AC ‘20! Go Tigers! Go ADPi!!” -Sarah Beth Holloway, AC ‘20

Reilly Ray

“My name is Reilly Ray and I am a freshman Political Science major from Manning, SC. I graduated from Laurence Manning Academy and I am so excited to now be a Clemson Tiger! My career goal is to attend law school and become an attorney. I have been a competitive dancer for 10 years and can't wait to try out for campus dance teams next year! I also love hanging with friends, spontaneous beach trips, and lunch dates to Chick-Fil-A. Other things I love are study sessions, walks on the Dikes, late night chats with my besties, and, of course, game days in Tiger Town!! I am so happy to be home for break, but already miss my sisters so much! So excited for next semester and all the fun that it will hold!!” -Reilly Ray, AC ‘20

Katie Catledge

“Hey y’all! My name is Katie Catledge and I am from Lancaster, South Carolina. I am a freshman Business Finance major and I hope to become a Financial Planner one day! Growing up a Tiger, I have been surrounded by all the things Clemson, so when my twin sister and I both got accepted it was a dream come true not just for me, but for my parents too! So far, I have had a blast participating in the CUBS Program, getting involved in ADPi, and in the Newspring rally group. I have already made so many fun memories as an ADPi and I am looking forward to making many more! As always, Go Tigers!” -Katie Catledge, AC ‘20

Emily Slawson

“Hi guys!!! My name is Emily Slawson. I'm from Hilton Head Island, SC! I am a German & International Business major with a minor in Travel & Tourism. During my senior year of high school, I spent a year living in Switzerland and totally fell in love with Europe and everything about it (that's also where I picked up my German!). I have such a passion for the language and can't wait to see what my future entails! I have always grown up a Tiger fan and have been tailgating and coming to games with my family for forever! Clemson was such an easy decision for me because of everything this amazing university has to offer, and, of course, I wanted to follow in my dad & sister’s footsteps!! I'm a big beach girl but I love the mountains and the lake that Clemson has to offer! Clemson ADPi has been such a blessing in my life and I am so thankful for all the friendships and memories I have already made through this amazing sorority!!! So much love for Clemson ADPi and I can't wait to grow in this sisterhood.” -Emily Slawson, AC ‘20

Liz Kuiper

“Hey y’all! My name is Liz Kuiper and I am from Greenville, South Carolina. I am currently a nursing major here at Clemson and would love to go further to become a nurse practitioner and work in the NICU. I grew up coming to Clemson games as a child and it has always felt like a home. When it was finally my time to choose where to go, there was no place I would rather be. With the amazing nursing program and it being the happiest place on earth, coming to Clemson was not even a question. It has been such a blessing being in ADPi and meeting the amazing girls in our Alpha Class. Going through recruitment, ADPi felt like home and I knew these girls would push me to be the best I can be. I love to spend my free time with my family and friends and make great memories. Even with all that is going on, it has been the best semester with even better people!!” - Liz Kuiper, AC ‘20

Taylor Grace Scott

“Hey everyone! My name is Taylor Grace Scott and I’m from Anderson, South Carolina! I was actually born in Greensboro, NC, but my family moved here 15 years ago when my dad started working as a professor at Clemson. Ever since then, Clemson has been my dream school and I have had the absolute best first semester here. I played volleyball and basketball pretty much my whole life, and being on teams with such amazing girls is a major part of why I value community so dearly. I am also so excited to continue my involvement in sports through my position as our chapter’s Intramural Chair! I am a Psychology major, and I hope to be able to use my education to help others in the future, as I am on a pre-med track. I love sushi and all things chocolate, trips to the beach, lake days with friends, and spending time with my little sister Caroline. I have grown up in a strong church community, and am so thankful to be in an amazing FCA group with the most caring girls and leaders! My mom was an ADPi when she was in college, and I am honored to be carrying on the legacy at Clemson. This chapter and all of the girls that I have met are some of the best people I know and have truly become my sisters! Can’t wait for the next four, Go Tigers! :)” - Taylor Grace Scott, AC ‘20

Kylie Foley

“Hi! My name is Kylie Foley and I am from Franklin, Tennessee, but I am currently living in Dublin, Ireland. I am a freshman majoring in finance. I chose to go to Clemson because I felt at home the minute I stepped on campus. I definitely made the right choice and couldn’t imagine being anywhere else! I’ve had the privilege of being involved in the Freshman Council and Call My Name student advisory board. I’ve made such great friends this semester and I can’t wait to continue to make new bonds. Clemson is truly a family and I am so blessed to be a part of it! ADPi has encouraged me to improve my grades, get involved, and be my best self. I am so blessed to be a part of such a great sisterhood and I can’t wait for the years to come!” - Kylie Foley, AC ‘20

Anne Horton

“Hey guys!! My name is Anne Horton and I am a current freshman here at Clemson University, pursuing a degree in Marketing with an intended minor in Brand Communications. I am from Charleston, S.C. and although I really enjoyed growing up in a coastal city, I also love the change of scenery here in Clemson and being closer to the mountains! While at Clemson, I look forward to being involved in organizations such as FCA and YoungLife, as well as starting my own club called the Clemson Home Club! This first semester here at Clemson has been one of the best times of my life and I have loved taking advantage of all the campus and ADPi have to offer. From meeting new friends to making lifelong memories, this semester has been nothing short of the time of my life, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. After coming from a family full of Clemson fans, with everyone from my great-grandfather to my own parents going here, I knew there was something special about this University and I am so glad I now get to enjoy it for myself! I am also so excited and blessed to serve as this year’s Community Service Specialist for Alpha Delta Pi, and can’t wait for all the memories to come at this school and in this amazing chapter!!” -Anne Horton, AC ‘20

I am so so excited to be a part of ADPi and already love the community I’ve found within our chapter. I was very involved in high school with student government and throughout the school and loved every single bit of it. I definitely cherished the community I found from my involvement in high school, and know it is most important to me to continue creating a community with people I love at Clemson. I am the first person to go to Clemson from my Gamecock family, but it didn’t take me very long to fall in love with this school. I love how everyone has a strong work ethic and that I feel surrounded by those who will help me grow! I love the people and that while Clemson is a big school, it really does feel smaller than it is. While I had my struggles of choosing a college, I know Clemson was definitely the right choice for me and I am All In!” - Riley Mayfield, AC ‘20

I feel so blessed to have met my people through ADPi and look forward to getting to know even more of my sisters.

Amelia Moffatt

“Hey y’all! My name is Amelia Moffatt, and I am from Birmingham, Alabama. I am a Nursing major here at Clemson, and I’m so thankful to also be a part of Alpha Delta Pi!! I chose Clemson for many reasons. My dad attended Clemson, so I grew up a tiger fan even in Alabama! I also wanted to have a new experience and environment as well as get out of my comfort zone, and I have never been more thankful I chose this school. Furthermore, Clemson has given me the opportunity to pursue my dream career in nursing in hopes of becoming a Nurse Anesthetist in a Children’s Hospital one day. In my free time, I love to spend time with my family and friends. I have loved meeting all of my new sisters (slowly) in person as this semester has progressed, and I couldn’t be more thankful for all of the incredible friends, mentors, and supporters Zeta Nu has gifted me with. I knew I wanted to become an ADPi during my first round of recruitment when the conversations I had with the upperclassmen were so meaningful and truly showed that they cared about me for who I was and am today. Everyone I have met so far has been truly intentional in all of their actions as well as so welcoming this first semester even in the midst of these crazy times. Lastly, some of my favorite things are sunsets, country music, the lake, chicken fingers, my faith, coffee, and walks. I can’t wait for the best four years here at Clemson in Alpha Delta Pi and GO TIGERS!” - Amelia Moffatt, AC ‘20

Olivia Hennessy

“Hey everyone! My name is Olivia Hennessy and I’m from Virginia Beach, VA. I am currently a freshman majoring in Business Management with the intended minor of Nonprofit Leadership. I loved growing up in my beach town but when it was time for college, I knew I wanted the adventure of going out of state. I trusted my gut and accepted Clemson, without even stepping on campus. Since then, I have been lucky enough to find my home away from home. I have loved every game day, sleepover with my big, and downtown coffee dates. ADPi has given me the opportunity to meet my closest friends on campus and I am so excited for all the memories to come!” - Olivia Hennessy, AC ‘20

Grace Kramer

“Hey everyone! My name is Grace Kramer and I am from Charlotte, North Carolina. I am a freshman Biological Sciences major on a Pre-Med track because of my love for helping others! I have been a dancer my entire life and when it came time to start thinking of potential colleges, I immediately started researching if I could dance in college. It wasn’t long until I stumbled upon Clemson University. The Rally Cat’s orange sparkly uniforms caught my eye. Shortly after I told my parents I wanted to attend Clemson University, the opportunity came and I finally toured Clemson. The moment I stepped on campus I knew that this was it. It was home. Normally, I am a very indecisive person but this decision I was able to make instantly. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to be a student here, be a part of the Rally Cats Dance Team, and wear the orange sparkly uniform that sparked my love for this school. Let’s just say dreams really do come true. I am so thankful to have found my sisters within Alpha Delta Pi! I can't wait to meet more people and make memories together. As always, Go Tigers!” - Grace Kramer, AC ‘20

Emily Reynolds

“Hey everybody!! My name is Emily Reynolds, and I am a freshman from the little town of Sumter, South Carolina. I am currently a Psychology major with dreams of becoming a physical therapist one day. I grew up attending South Carolina football games and never thought I’d end up being a student at Clemson, but now that I’ve been here for three months, I truly cannot imagine myself anywhere else. To me, Clemson is more than just buildings and loads of orange and purple. Clemson is where the colors of the fall leaves are a little more vibrant. It’s a place where strangers pass you on the sidewalk, smiling from ear to ear. Clemson is a place for new beginnings, and it continues to blow me away everyday. The past few months have allowed me to tap back into areas of my life that I’m passionate about, and I’ve been learning that creativity and imagination blossoms if we just allow it to. Music and art are ways that I’ve been able to express myself when words simply can’t capture what I’m feeling. I’m thankful for organizations such as FCA and Younglife that have provided me with powerful encouragement and meaningful friendships this semester at Clemson. I feel so blessed and excited to be a part of this year’s amazing alpha class!! GO ADPI!!!!!” - Emily Reynolds, AC ‘20

Dodie Shaw

“Hey y’all! My name is Dodie Shaw, and I am from Augusta, Georgia. I am majoring in Biological Sciences with the hope of becoming an occupational therapist. Ever since a young age, I have had a passion for helping individuals with special needs, and I hope to enrich my love for helping others during my time at Clemson. ADPi has brought me the wonderful opportunity of serving as our chapter’s ClemsonLIFE Chair Assistant, and I could not be more excited to see what this position has in store for me. Although my Dad’s side of the family is full of tiger fans, choosing Clemson for myself was a personal decision. While going through the college selection process, I realized how distinctly unique Clemson is. I absolutely adore how the Clemson community embraces others with open arms, and encourages their students to have a truly well rounded college experience. Now that I am officially a Clemson tiger, I could not be more grateful for the Clemson family that loves each other so well. I love spending quality time with my friends and family, staying rooted in my faith, going to the beach, traveling, shopping and all things fashion, skiing and tubing while at the lake, and drinking iced coffee. Although I have not been a member of ADPi for very long, the sisterhood I have already formed is something I will treasure for the rest of my life. Being surrounded by such confident, self motivated, and compassionate girls on a day to day basis has been so incredible. I am so looking forward to the next four years alongside the most special sisters! Go Tigers!” - Dodie Shaw, AC ‘20

Kate Lalley

“Hey! My name is Kate Lalley and I am from Atlanta, Georgia! I have wanted to go to Clemson my whole life since my mom went here and always brought me to visit. She was also an ADPi so it feels like a dream to be here and be a part of Alpha Delta Pi! I am majoring in Business Marketing and hoping to pursue a career in a marketing department of a fashion company. In my spare time, I love spending time with my family and close friends. I am an (aspiring) morning person, love sunrises, long runs, green tea, shopping, and spontaneous adventures! It has been such a blessing to meet all of my new ADPi sisters who share some of these interests with me and also introduce me to their personal interests as well. Going into recruitment, my desire was to find a place that had girls who would push me to grow in these next four years and be my go-to people through college and on. I always saw this attribute in the girls in Alpha Delta Pi and knew that was the place for me! As I am nearing the end of my first semester here at Clemson, I could not be happier knowing this college and this sorority is where I am supposed to be!” - Kate Lalley, AC ‘20

Growing up in the south I knew I did not want to go too far for school and Clemson was the perfect fit for everything I desired in a college. The first time I set foot on the Clemson campus, I knew I was home. The sense of community and school pride drew me to Clemson along with its wide range of opportunities and beautiful state. I have a passion for traveling and experiencing all the wonders and beautiful cultures the world has to offer.

I am really excited to get as involved as possible at Clemson. I hope to get involved in giving tours myself, through CUGA. Also, I hope to join Student Government and tutor other students. Some of my favorite things are hiking, hanging out with my friends and family, listening to music, and painting. I also come from a huge football family and background, so game days are my favorite. I am so excited to be a new member of ADPi and cannot wait to get more involved throughout these next four years! I love meeting new people and cannot wait to meet and get to know more of my ADPi sisters!” - Julia Hoffman, AC ‘20

Maddie Kirkman

“Hey y’all! My name is Maddie Kirkman and I am from Randleman, North Carolina. I am a Political Science major with hopes of attending law school after graduation. I chose Clemson because it felt like home from the moment I stepped foot on campus. I grew up in a small town and absolutely fell in love with the hometown feel of the city of Clemson. I am involved with FCA, ClemsonLIFE, and Alpha Delta Pi! I was a competitive dancer my whole life and I love being active. I am a huge chocolate and sweets lover, so you can always find me at Spill the Beans! ;) I also love cheering on the tigers at all types of sporting events! I am so thankful for my ADPi family and I cannot wait for the next four years with the best sisters around! Go Tigers!” - Maddie Kirkman, AC ‘20

Jessine May

“Hey y’all! My name is Jessine May and I’m a freshman. I'm transferring from Business into Communications and aspire to do something in the Public Relations realm! I’ve lived in Clemson my whole life—choosing to go to college here has been the easiest decision of my life. I wouldn’t want to call anywhere else home! I love college football, the lake, wake surfing, shopping, traveling, and iced coffee! I'm super outgoing and thrive in social settings. Although I’ve only been in ADPi for a few months, I feel like I've already met life-long friends and cannot wait to meet many more! I’m so excited to be a part of this amazing sorority and I’m so expectant for the next four years in the best sisterhood! As always, Boom Boom and Go Tigers!” - Jessine May, AC ‘20

Payton Wilson

“Hey everyone! My name is Payton Wilson, and I am from Fort Mill, SC. I am a freshman Nursing major, pursuing my dream of becoming a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. There is nothing I love more than helping others. I am so excited to make a difference in the lives of many families in the future. I grew up loving Clemson and have always wanted to attend. I fell in love with the Nursing program here and knew this was where I was meant to be. I have already found so many organizations that have brought my Clemson experience to life including ADPi, FCA, and SNA. I am passionate about continuously bettering myself and these organizations have already pushed me to do so. Some of my favorite things are being with family and friends, working out, fall weather, traveling, and concerts! I am beyond thankful to be a part of ADPi and to be surrounded by girls who encourage and push me to be the best version of myself. I cannot wait to spend the next four years with my sisters by my side! Go Tigers!” - Payton Wilson, PC’20
