Finding Yourself, Your People, and Your Purpose

As I reflect on the past four years of my life, I am profoundly grateful for the impact Alpha Delta Pi has had on my life. Leaving my small hometown, and moving somewhere I did not know a single soul, I had no idea what I was exactly looking for or what I was even doing to be quite honest… but I found so many missing pieces of myself in 112.

You hear about sororities being a home away from home, and all of the cheesy phrasings… but there just isn’t another place in this world where you can rely on 200+ women to have your back and encourage you in this crazy season of life. I found who I was called to lead within this group of women. I found a genuine feeling of sisterhood within this group of women. And above all, I found the love of Jesus within this group of women.

I think it is important to know that it is not easy. No matter how social media portrays it, I struggled a lot when I first moved and continually tried to find that perfect balance between college and myself. It nearly felt impossible. Without Alpha Delta Pi, I can truly say I would not be the person I am today. This organization embraces me even through a time of struggle and continues to reward me daily. The way I have been accepted and loved by my sisters in ADPi has shown me time and time again how Jesus accepts and loves us.

I have been honored to be a part of something bigger than myself, and I am forever indebted to this sorority for all it has given to me
