Hi friends! My name is Megan Wright, and I am an upcoming junior at GSU studying public relations! 

For as long as I can remember, service and community involvement have always served such a pivotal purpose in my life. I loved my community, and I knew that I wanted to leave it better than I found it. Whether it was fundraising, serving those who are less fortunate than me, or simply spending time with those who made my community what it was – I was eager to make an impactful difference in a place that had made such an impactful difference in me. 

I remember coming to Georgia Southern feeling nervous and unsure of how I could continue to serve my community. I knew I had chosen Georgia Southern for its outstanding sense of community, but I was in a new place, surrounded by new people, so the possibility of finding an outlet to get involved seemed limited. 

When I discovered the Panhellinic Association at GSU, I instantly knew that I wanted to be a part of it. I knew that being a member of one of these organizations would be a momentous stepping stone to getting involved at Georgia Southern. 

When I walked through the door of Alpha Delta Pi, I felt an overwhelming sense of clarity. I was surrounded by like-minded women who’s hearts for their community shined so brightly. They were kind, determined, intelligent, and so much more. I knew then and there that I wanted to call ADPi home. 

When I think about my time in ADPi and the opportunity and blessings it has brought along with it, my words often feel so trite and insufficient. I struggle to put into words just how much my community and my sisters changed the trajectory of my college career and my life as a whole. 

Being a part of something bigger than myself became being a part of Alpha Delta Pi.

To PNMs- I encourage you to always be intentional in finding a community and a home that suits your purpose. Serve that community, grow it and grow within it, and everything else will fall into place. 

With love,

Megan Wright
