Emily DelSordo

“Hi!!! My name is Emily DelSordo and I’m from Hillsborough, New Jersey. I’m a freshman Elementary Education major and I would absolutely love to teach 3rd or 4th graders! When I was trying to decide what school would be my home for the next four years, there was no doubt Clemson was the place for me. Clemson has always been my childhood dream school and my family loves Clemson football so I can’t believe this dream became a reality! I’m really looking forward to getting involved in everything Clemson has to offer including Clemson Hope, ClemsonLIFE, and CUGA. Some of my favorite places to go in Clemson include the South Carolina Botanical Gardens, the Dikes at Lake Hartwell, and of course, Death Valley. I love game days, nature walks, the beach, hanging with my family & friends, and ice cream (especially Spill the Beans!!) This semester has been the best three months of my life and I’m so excited to come back in the spring. I’ve met some of the best people through ADPi and I can’t wait to make more memories and lifelong friendships with my sisters! Go Tigers!!!” -Emily DelSordo, AC ‘20

Kate Dipalma

“My name is Kate Dipalma and I am a sophomore from Greenville, South Carolina. My major is business management and I want to pursue a career in medical sales. I chose Clemson because it was always my dream school growing up. A fun fact about me is I am also a cheerleader here at Clemson! I’m thankful to be a part of ADPi and the wonderful sisterhood it has to offer.” -Kate Dipalma, AC ‘20

Canton Moehler

“Hey everyone! My name is Canton Moehler and I am a sophomore from Atlanta, Georgia majoring in Psychology! When applying for college, I really wanted to look for a school where I would feel welcomed with open arms and free to be myself. Clemson really caught my eye because of the family atmosphere, good academics, Greek life, and, of course, the football!! I wanted to try something new and adventure out of my comfort zone, and Clemson was just the place for me! Since then, I have loved being a Tiger and a part of such an amazing community, especially becoming a sister of ADPi! It has been such a cool and special experience meeting girls from all over and joining something bigger than myself! I absolutely love spending time with friends, whether that's on Monday nights at YoungLife club with TL Hanna students, going on hikes (or anything else to keep me active and up on my feet), a Bachelorette night in with the girls, or a fun night out on the town in Greenville/Atlanta! I am forever grateful for Clemson and ADPi, and I can’t wait to see where the rest of my time here in Tiger Town will take me!” -Canton Moehler, AC ‘20

Erin Hoover

“Hey guys! My name is Erin Hoover, and I am from Atlanta, Georgia. I am a freshman studying Pre-Professional Health Science on the Pre-Med track with an intended minor in Psychology. I hope to pursue my goal of becoming a Physician’s Assistant or Occupational Therapist. Clemson first caught my eye when I was in middle school as my two cousins and brother decided to attend Clemson University. When I visited a Clemson football game, I instantly knew this is where I wanted to go to college. The orange and purple were everywhere I went and I loved it! The vast school spirit is what sparked my love for the university. As I continued to visit the campus throughout my senior year of high school, I continually noticed the “Clemson Family'' that is always talked about throughout the Clemson community. From the beginning, I knew that Clemson was and would be a special place to me, and that did not change after my first semester here. I feel that I have already made lifelong friends through Alpha Delta Pi, and I have fulfilled my dream to be a Clemson Cheerleader on the All-Girl team. I love spending my Saturdays on (or as close to) the sidelines and cheering on the best football team in the country! Along with cheering, I love to go on runs, spend time with my friends and family, travel to any beach or lake, play tennis, and go to concerts. I am extremely grateful to be a part of ADPi’s sisterhood because I have met the most genuine, caring, and selfless girls. I cannot wait for three and a half more years with them! Boom Boom and GO TIGERS!!” -Erin Hoover, AC ‘20

Sarah Beth Holloway

“Hey y'all!! My name is Sarah Beth Holloway, and I am a sophomore from Augusta, Georgia. I am a Secondary Education and English major with dreams of teaching high school English at a Title 1 school. Being a student at Clemson has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. As a little girl, I knew that there was something different about Clemson. My favorite part of the year was always football season when my family would pack up and head to Clemson for the weekend. This season was the 19th season that I have spent in Death Valley, making it one of my favorite places in the world! Clemson has always felt like home to me. Getting my acceptance letter was one of the best days of my life. Last year I was a part of the Bridge to Clemson program and was able to get involved in Young Life and meet some of my very best friends! This August I was placed as a Young Life leader at Seneca High School! Go Cats! Coming into college, I always knew that being in a sorority was something that I wanted to be a part of. My mom was an ADPi at Clemson and growing up she would tell me about the sweet memories she made with her sisters. When I was going through recruitment, ADPi felt like home because the girls that I talked to reminded of my mom- caring, compassionate, fun, and loyal. Going ADPi was that much sweeter because not only did I get to be a part of an amazing group of women, but also because I got to share something really special with my mom! Being a part of ADPi is one of the best things that has happened to me. I am so thankful for the friendships I have made and the way ADPI has pushed me to be the best person I can be. Getting to do life and learn from girls like Caroline Daw, Charlotte Anne Beers, Avery Anderson, Rebecca Lannamen, and so many more has been one of the biggest blessings of life this far! I look forward to the memories I will continue to make during my time here at Clemson. I am so thankful to be a part of AC ‘20! Go Tigers! Go ADPi!!” -Sarah Beth Holloway, AC ‘20

Reilly Ray

“My name is Reilly Ray and I am a freshman Political Science major from Manning, SC. I graduated from Laurence Manning Academy and I am so excited to now be a Clemson Tiger! My career goal is to attend law school and become an attorney. I have been a competitive dancer for 10 years and can't wait to try out for campus dance teams next year! I also love hanging with friends, spontaneous beach trips, and lunch dates to Chick-Fil-A. Other things I love are study sessions, walks on the Dikes, late night chats with my besties, and, of course, game days in Tiger Town!! I am so happy to be home for break, but already miss my sisters so much! So excited for next semester and all the fun that it will hold!!” -Reilly Ray, AC ‘20

Katie Catledge

“Hey y’all! My name is Katie Catledge and I am from Lancaster, South Carolina. I am a freshman Business Finance major and I hope to become a Financial Planner one day! Growing up a Tiger, I have been surrounded by all the things Clemson, so when my twin sister and I both got accepted it was a dream come true not just for me, but for my parents too! So far, I have had a blast participating in the CUBS Program, getting involved in ADPi, and in the Newspring rally group. I have already made so many fun memories as an ADPi and I am looking forward to making many more! As always, Go Tigers!” -Katie Catledge, AC ‘20

Emily Slawson

“Hi guys!!! My name is Emily Slawson. I'm from Hilton Head Island, SC! I am a German & International Business major with a minor in Travel & Tourism. During my senior year of high school, I spent a year living in Switzerland and totally fell in love with Europe and everything about it (that's also where I picked up my German!). I have such a passion for the language and can't wait to see what my future entails! I have always grown up a Tiger fan and have been tailgating and coming to games with my family for forever! Clemson was such an easy decision for me because of everything this amazing university has to offer, and, of course, I wanted to follow in my dad & sister’s footsteps!! I'm a big beach girl but I love the mountains and the lake that Clemson has to offer! Clemson ADPi has been such a blessing in my life and I am so thankful for all the friendships and memories I have already made through this amazing sorority!!! So much love for Clemson ADPi and I can't wait to grow in this sisterhood.” -Emily Slawson, AC ‘20
