Kailey Butler

“Hey y’all! My name is Kailey Butler and I am a freshman Food Science and Human Nutrition major from Blythewood, SC. Growing up just a few minutes down the road from Columbia, I was raised in gamecock territory and had always gone to their games growing up. As I neared the end of high school and had to make my college decision, staying home just didn’t feel right and Clemson had always seemed like home for me, even before I ever stepped foot on campus for a tour. The day my acceptance letter came in the mail this past December, I paid my deposit the same day and wrote “move in day” into my calendar! After being here for about a month, I continue to fall in love with the University everyday, especially when I see the sunset over campus every evening. Joining ADPi has been an absolute blessing and I have already made the best of friends with girls in my Alpha class. Besides becoming involved in sorority life, I was also chosen to represent my class as a member of Freshman Council and have also plugged in with FCA and a small group. I know there is so much in store for ADPi in the next four years and I can’t wait for all of the laughs, trips, friendships, and memories to be made with all of my new sisters!” - Kailey Butler, AC ‘20

Mary Galloway

“Hey you guys! I'm Mary Grace Galloway, I'm from Chapin, South Carolina, and I'm a Microbiology major. I'm either planning to attend medical school or cardiovascular perfusionist school in hopes of becoming a surgeon or a cardiovascular perfusionist. Growing up in a house with an entire room dedicated to the gamecocks, I knew that announcing my decision for college was going to be a tough one. My dad played football and baseball at Carolina, and my grandpa played football there too. Telling my family that I wanted to go to Clemson was not particularly something I was looking forward to, but I knew that Clemson was my new home when I got to experience the inclusive atmosphere with a strong sense of community. There's absolutely no place like it. I knew as soon as I visited, this place was home. So when I broke the news, we went back and forth until they realized that I truly did already love Clemson, and that I had made the right decision. The constant "boo Clemson" jokes still haven't stopped and probably never will, but I'm just happy that I'm where I belong. Although times have been different with COVID-19, I still have felt so welcome here and am so happy to not only be a part of the Clemson family, but also the Alpha Delta Pi family too! I love meeting new people and trying new things, and I've already developed so many friendships and have gotten to do so much on campus. I absolutely love long walks and being outdoors! I've met so many girls who I can watch Bachelor nights with and who will catch up on 90 Day Fiancè with me. I can't wait to continue these next 4 years in ADPi, and to meet even more of my best friends!” - Mary Galloway, AC ‘20

Faryn Heatly

“Hey everyone! My name is Faryn Heatly and I’m from McDonough, GA, which is about 25 minutes south of downtown Atlanta. I plan to study Sports Communication with the goal of one day becoming a professional sports agent, representing athletes and helping them to achieve their goals and dreams, while I live out mine. I chose Clemson because I’ve grown up a Tiger, spending countless weekends in Death Valley. It has always been home to me. I believe that Clemson offers many opportunities that will equip me greatly for my future. Some of my favorite things include college football, spending time with my family and friends, listening to music, and tacos! It’s very exciting to officially be a Tiger, and I’m ready to experience everything Clemson has to offer. I’m so grateful to call both Clemson and ADPi home. I can’t wait to watch these next four years unfold! Go Tigers!” - Faryn Heatly, AC ‘20

Liddy Madeline

“Hi!!! I’m Liddy, and I am a Psychology major from Greenville, South Carolina! Clemson has always felt like home to me and I’m so excited to finally be here! I chose Clemson because the atmosphere and school spirit is truly one of a kind. I’ve been a dancer my whole life and grew up with two sisters, so I was super excited to join a sorority and become a part of another lifelong sisterhood. Throughout high school, I had the opportunity to connect with students who have special needs through a peer tutoring program. I would love to become involved with the ClemsonLIFE program, and connect with some of those students here on campus! Although I have only been a part of Alpha Delta Pi for a short amount of time, I already feel at home and have met my new lifelong besties! I cannot wait to meet everyone and see what the next few years have in store for me!” - Liddy Madeline, AC ‘20

Ashley Owens

“Hey y’all! My name is Ashley Owens and I am a current freshman. I am from Keller, Texas, majoring in Special Education, and hope to continue my education by earning a masters in Counseling. Attending Clemson has always been a lifelong dream of mine. My mom is an alumnae and instilled the love for Clemson in me from an early age. No other college visit could sway me from the orange paw! Clemson has seamlessly become my new home and I can’t imagine myself anywhere else! This year, I am involved with volunteering with the ClemsonLIFE program and Young Life. I’m excited to learn more about other clubs and organizations that Clemson has to offer and hopeful to become more involved with ADPi as a leader. Some things I enjoy doing are spending time with my friends and family, working out, dancing, going to the beach or lake, traveling and trying new things! I am extremely adventurous and am always up for trying new things and exploring new experiences. I am beyond blessed to be a part of the Clemson family and the chapter of ADPi. I can already feel that I have met lifelong friends and sisters and can’t wait to develop even more relationships in the future. Boom Boom and Go Tigers!” - Ashley Owens, AC ’20

Madison Webb

“Hello everyone! My name is Madison Webb and I am a sophomore Marketing Major from Easley, South Carolina! Growing up just 20 minutes from Clemson, I grew very fond of this little town and the people in it. The atmosphere here at Clemson is unlike any other, and I am so grateful it became my home away from home. My favorite hobbies include calligraphy, shopping, exercising, doing devotionals, and being outside! I am so excited to be a part of Alpha Delta Pi, and I am very expectant to see myself grow personally and spiritually throughout the many new friendships I make! As always, Go Tigers! XOXO” - Madison Webb, AC ‘20
