Why ADPi #1!
Hey everyone, I’m Abby Owens (a member of AC ‘22)! While I’ve only been in ADPi for a little under a year now, the impact it has already had on me is tremendous. It’s hard to put into words what ADPi has meant and still means to me.
Going through recruitment, I knew it was so important for me to find a group of girls who embodied all of the things that I value and hold so close to my heart. I was looking to surround myself with girls who were genuine, selfless, and encouraging, girls who would hold me to the highest standard as a student and a person, girls who were involved, and girls who accepted me for me. It was so evident from day 1 of recruitment that all of the girls in ADPi reflected all of these things. I felt so valued, appreciated, and invested in, and I still feel this way today.
I vividly remember that once I became a member of ADPi, our President sat the new members down and told us that what we put in to ADPi is what we will get out. I took her words seriously, dove right in, and gave it my all. From joining the ADPi dance team, serving at the Ronald McDonald House, and becoming an officer, I jumped at every opportunity thrown my way. Through these experiences and so many more, I have grown as a person, been poured into by so many older girls, and found my absolute best friends.
The sisterhood in ADPi is so strong and is something that I am so blessed to be able to experience for the rest of my life. These girls are my sources of laughter, shoulders to cry on, listening ears, advice givers, walking buddies, and of course Spill the Beans dates! From getting ready for functions together to visiting each others hometowns, we do it all!
I know that I am a better person today than I was yesterday because of Zeta Nu. These girls fill my cup in more ways than one, and I am so grateful. I can’t imagine my college experience without ADPi, and being a member is something that I will never take lightly. Go Greek, and Go ADPi!
Loyally,
Abby Owens
