On to the next!
Over the past year, I have been given an amazing opportunity to publish all the ADPi blogs! I remember when I first started as Director of Public Relations, I had no idea how much this position would shape my experience in ADPi and college overall. I had so much encouragement from all my friends and sisters in ADPi, and Megan Wright–who held this position before me, was an incredible role model who helped guide me through all of my responsibilities. Of course, I also had the best VP of Marketing Kaylor Cumbee who made my position so fun! She not only allowed me to grow and be creative but made sure to support me along the way. My freshman year coming into ADPi, I always knew involvement was going to be one of my main priorities, and what better way to stay involved than to become an officer?!
As a psychology major, I never thought I’d enter the marketing team, but here I am! Being on the marketing team as a whole has been one of the best experiences and is something I hold dear to my heart being in Epsilon Pi. I’ve spent my time brainstorming content, all while getting to know each and every one of you through your words I got to publish! Whether it was celebrating our philanthropy, highlighting personal stories/testimonies, or our “WHY ADPi” every post was so unique and reminded me of why I chose Alpha Delta Pi myself. Looking back, some of my favorite moments were the behind-the-scenes ones—where I got to collaborate with so many of you to bring these stories to life. I truly felt like I was connecting with each of you through this platform! Of course, it wasn’t always easy. Sometimes the deadlines seemed never-ending, and the pressure of this combined with school and work could be overwhelming. But in those moments of stress, I always found encouragement through your stories and the girls the Lord had placed in my life.
As I step down and hand the blog over to Keilynn Sapp–who I am very lucky to call my little, I know the blog is in the best hands. I am also very excited to announce that even though I won’t be “the girl behind the blog” anymore I will be “the girl behind the Instagram!” I am overjoyed with my new position as the Digital Marketing Specialist for Epsilon Pi and incredibly lucky to work with KP Raggett, a true friend, and our new VP of Marketing! (Here’s to the dream team!!!) As I wrap this up, I want to thank every sister who shared her story, her experiences, and her heart with me this year. You made this journey unforgettable, and I’m so proud of everything we’ve accomplished as a chapter. I am forever grateful that I got to share our sisterhood with the world, and I can’t wait to see how it continues to grow! I love you always Epsilon Pi!!!
With Love,
The Former “Girl Behind the Blog”
