Sister Spotlight + Why ADPi #1

ASHTON CURRY (AC '16, SCHOLARSHIP CHAIR)

Thinking back to the week leading up to recruitment, I remember experiencing so many different emotions. I was so excited to decorate my dorm room, be in a new town, and meet my new roommates. At the same time, I was a nervous wreck. I spent day after day deciding what I would wear each day of recruitment. I had absolutely no idea what to expect, and believe it or not, I even contemplated not going through rush because I was so nervous. But by the end of the first day of recruitment, I was so excited and ready to take on the rest of the week. I had talked with so many girls with so much in common with me, especially in ADPi. By the second day of rush, I knew my heart was with ADPi. Each day got better and better, as I got to meet more girls in the chapter and learn what this sorority is all about. From bid day until now, Epsilon Pi has given me so much! I quickly learned that there is so much more to Alpha Delta Pi than social events and t-shirts! I’ve met so many great friends, and gotten more involved than I would have ever imagined.

This past year I decided to take on the position of Scholarship Chair. Being so busy with school, I never thought I’d be able to handle the responsibility. But holding a position has allowed me to spend more time at the house, become close with sisters that I may not have otherwise, and learn so much more about ADPi. Needless to say, it’s been such a great experience and I’ve been given the chance to pour my heart into the chapter even more.

Looking back at myself before going through recruitment, I can see how much ADPi has allowed me to grow as a person. Never in a million years did I think a sorority would have such an impact on me. Had I made the decision to not go through recruitment, I would have never met so many new faces, and I would have missed out on all of these experiences and opportunities. Sometimes I find myself forgetting that I’ve only known these girls two years, and it seems like I’ve known them my entire life. I know in my heart, that without the girls in this chapter, my experience so far at Georgia Southern would be totally different, and I don’t think I would have made it this far without them. I am so excited to show everyone coming through how much ADPi has given me the past two years and all of the great things this sorority has to offer!
