Ashley Anderson
“Hey everyone! My name is Ashley Anderson, and I was born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina. That being said, I love spending my summers at the beach. I’m a freshman English major, and I could not be more excited to be a Tiger! Almost everyone on my dad’s side of the family went to Clemson, so my college choice was easy. When you grow up spending game days in Death Valley, it’s hard to imagine going to college anywhere else! I’ve played soccer my whole life and have recently started loving workout classes like HIIT and kickboxing! Aside from fun workouts, I love reading, listening to music, and I’m a sucker for a good coffee date. On campus, I’m involved in CHAARG, the Her Campus Clemson literary magazine, and of course, ADPi! All of the sisters I’ve met so far have been so sweet and down to earth, and I can’t wait to meet so many more as the years go by! Go Tigers!” - Ashley Anderson, AC ‘20
Megan Botts
"Hey y’all! My name is Meg Botts, and I’m a Biological Sciences major from the small town of Abbeville, SC. My dad is a football coach so I have grown up around football my entire life! I absolutely love the game and it only seemed fit to attend the University that has the #1 team in the nation! However, football is not the only reason why I fell in love with Clemson. I chose Clemson University because of the breathtaking campus, outstanding academics, and the opportunity to make lifelong friends. I am super excited to say that I am a part of the ADPi family, and I am so grateful to have so many amazing sisters! Some things that I enjoy are spending time with my friends and family, shopping, working out, traveling, going to the beach and lake, going to concerts, and listening to country music! I also love to dress cute and take lots of pictures! Sports have always been a part of my life and I would love to get involved in intramural sports here at Clemson. I am also excited to get involved in FCA on campus! I cannot wait to experience everything Clemson has to offer and walk this journey with the best support system around (my ADPi sisters)! Go Tigers!!" - Megan Botts, AC ‘20
Riley Dowling
“Hi!! I’m Riley Dowling and I’m a Genetics major from Greenville, SC. After getting my master's in Genetics, my hope is to be a Genetic Counselor. Having parents who are both Clemson alumni and live close by made Clemson an easy choice for college. I recently got involved with Freshman Council and FCA. I am excited to learn about more clubs and organizations to be a part of. Some of my favorite things include almond milk lattes, water skiing, chocolate soft serve ice cream, Clemson football, and all my new ADPi sisters! I have already had the best couple of weeks on campus and I cannot wait to see what the next four years hold for me! Go Tigers!” -Riley Dowling, AC ‘20
Leighanna Gambrell
“Hey everyone! I’m Leighanna Gambrell and I am from Spartanburg, South Carolina (about an hour from Clemson!) This year I am a freshman at Clemson, majoring in Psychology with a minor in Social Sciences. My ultimate goal after Clemson is to attend dental school to pursue my dream of becoming an Orthodontist. Growing up in South Carolina, Clemson has always felt like home to me. Both of my parents actually attended the University of South Carolina, but I broke the tradition and became a Tiger! I chose Clemson because I knew that the University as a whole would push me to become a better student, while also providing me with endless opportunities. This year at Clemson I am a part of CUSG, as I was selected as a member of the Greek Affairs Committee, and am also a member of the Pre-Dental club! I played volleyball all throughout high school and I love to travel. While I am beyond thankful for the memories from my high school years, I know that Clemson will create the best memories that will last a lifetime! I am so excited to be a part of the best sisterhood, ADPi, and have the opportunity to be surrounded by these girls for the next four years and beyond. Clemson will forever hold a special place in my heart and I am blessed to be an ADPi! Go Tigers!” - Leighanna Gambrell, AC ‘20
Baileigh Price
“Hey y’all! My name is Baileigh Price and I am a sophomore soon to be Nursing major from North Augusta, SC. Growing up I was raised as a Gamecock, but when deciding what college to go to I fell in love with the small town, family feel of Clemson. It has always been a dream of mine to travel as much as I can, so with my nursing degree I hope to be a travel nurse and then either go into the NICU or graduate school to be a Nurse Practitioner. I have cheered my whole life and through that I have fallen in love with fitness. Anyone who knows me knows you can usually find me at the gym. I would love to one day become a trainer on campus and help others reach their goals and learn how to have fun while doing it. I am super excited about getting involved with Clemson Life this year because I have always had a passion for those with special needs and making sure that everyone feels equal despite their differences. I also plan to become a part of FCA and CUGA on campus. I love Jesus, Moes, amusement parks, the beach and lake, music (fun fact: I sing), and anything chocolate peanut butter. So far in ADPi I have already met so many amazing women and I can’t wait for these next few years with the best sisterhood! Boom Boom and Go Tigers!” - Baileigh Price, AC ‘20
Camille Turk
“Hi everyone!! My name is Camille Turk, and I’m a freshman from Saint Simons Island, Georgia (originally from Buckhead). I’m currently a Business Marketing major but I am hoping to switch to Health Sciences with a minor in marketing. Once I graduate from Clemson, I plan on attending PA school to become a Surgical Physician’s Assistant. Growing up, I always thought I would go to UGA for college since my whole family went there and has lived in Athens for generations; however, as cliche as it sounds, once I stepped foot on Clemson’s campus for the first time, I instantly fell in love with every aspect Clemson had to offer. Although I will always love the Dawgs, I’m proud to be able to call myself a Clemson Tiger! At Clemson, I plan on studying abroad in Italy the summer between my sophomore and junior year, and can’t wait to get involved with ADPi events. My hobbies include: traveling, spending time outdoors, college football, playing sports, the gym, and hanging out with friends on the beach!” - Camille Turk, AC ‘20
