Discipleship within Alpha Delta Pi

A word from Mattie Wynn, Grace, and Mackenzie

Like a lot of people, I struggled to find the reason why I joined my sorority. Was it because all my friends from high school joined one? Was it to be labeled cool in college? Was it because I thought I would automatically make friends before college even started? I later learned these reasons for joining a sorority would never satisfy me at all. Just because you join a sorority, that does not mean you are going to be automatically cool or instantly have friends on day one. Every now and then, I ask myself if I made the right choice joining a sorority. I can easily answer yes to that question now. That is because of God and the opportunity He gave me to disciple within ADPi. Through ADPi, I have been able to to create God-centered relationships with girls and also see how they and myself grow closer to God. Matthew 28:19 tells us we are to go and make disciples of all nations. This mission can be done in your own sorority and how amazing is it that I get to be a part of that!

Discipleship within adpi has single handedly been my favorite part of college. It is more than just a Bible study, it is a relationship truly centered around the Lord. This year I have gotten the opportunity to disciple other girls and it is my favorite part of the week! I will forever be thankful for older girls who took the time to pour into me and invest in my life. “So being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us.” 1 Thessalonians 2:8

I think the world has lost the art of there being any depth to our friendship. The genuinely love each other deeply the way the Lord designed us to be, it takes asking them hard questions, showing up consistently, and pointing each other to the feet of Jesus daily. That’s the friendship that discipleship has allowed me to see, grow in, and experience. Diving into God’s word with these college girls has surely been the honor of my life. We will be better friends, better women of God because of it.
