⟡ Abby’s Spotlight + Why ADPi ⟡

“ADPi was the one thing that remained constant, I knew my girls were always there for me.”

Abby Beitel - Alpha Class ‘19

“Hey PNMs, I can't wait to meet you!!! I know recruitment can be stressful, trust me I was there not too long ago, but you really do just have to trust the process. I’d be lying if I told you recruitment wasn’t nerve-racking for me. My mom wasn’t in a sorority in college and I had no idea what to expect. Recruitment was such a draining process for me, but every time I went to Alpha Delta Pi during rounds, I felt so welcomed and so comfortable. I could tell that all the girls I talked to were so genuine and I felt like they really wanted to get to know me. I had so many real and meaningful conversations, they weren’t just surface level. I also noticed that all of the girls I talked to were so driven, motivated, and well-rounded and those were the type of girls I knew I wanted to surround myself with. During sisterhood round, I knew I wanted to go ADPi. I can remember getting chills hearing all the girls talk about their sisterhood and the lifelong friendships they made. The love they had for each other and their chapter was so evident and I wanted so badly to be a part of it. I made the best decision of my life by choosing ADPi. I had the best freshman year getting to know all the girls in my Alpha Class. I love that there is such a diverse mix of girls in ADPi so we keep each other balanced but we all share the same morals.

When I think of ADPi, I think of the words intentional, genuine, accepting, and well-rounded. The friendships I’ve made through joining this sorority are so intentional. No matter what close friend group you’re in, all the girls in ADPi are so accepting of one another and I love how everyone builds each other up.

Alpha Delta Pi has truly given me a school year I will cherish forever. One of my favorite memories from this year was formal. It was our last function together before we had to leave Clemson because of COVID-19 and I can honestly say I danced my heart out. Another one of my favorite memories is Mom’s Weekend. It is so much fun to spend a weekend hanging out with your mom and getting to meet all your besties’ moms.

Being in ADPi really helped me get through my freshman year. Going to college is a huge adjustment and I can remember feeling so overwhelmed and stressed. ADPi was the one thing that remained constant, I knew my girls were always there for me. There were so many resources that helped me get through my freshman year. I remember one time when I was having a rough day, I just so happened to be chosen to be posted on the ADPi Instagram for “Thankful Thursday,” which is a post where you comment a reason why you're thankful for that person. Reading through the comments made my day so much better and just goes to show how in ADPi we build each other up. I couldn't be more thankful for all the amazing memories and friendships I’ve made this year in ADPI and am so excited for the next three years to come… hope to see you there!”- Abby Beitel, AC ‘19
