“Coming from Kentucky, I had absolutely no one that I knew when I got to Clemson. It was nerve wracking to say the least! I had always heard that a sorority was like a second family, but I was super nervous to see if that would happen for me. When I stepped into ADPI during philanthropy round, I just immediately had a sense that I was at home again after moving four states away.

Flash forward to junior year, and I wouldn’t change a single thing about my decision to rush or to ultimately run home to ADPI. It’s because of ADPI that I have made lifelong friends that feel more like family, and I couldn’t imagine life without them!

ADPI gave me the opportunity to give back to an organization that has meant so much to me when I decided to serve on Executive council, and I am so thankful for that and the amazing ladies I’ve gotten to know over the past year. I have loved every minute of my journey in Clemson, and I can’t wait to see what the next two years bring with my sisters!”
