Bryan’s Spotlight + Why ADPi ⟡

“I have found a group of girls that pushes me to grow in my academics, in my faith, and in everyday life.”

Bryan Boykin - Alpha Class ‘19

“Hey PNMs! I am so excited to meet each one of you!! I am a sophomore marketing major with a whole lot of love for Clemson football and my ADPi girls! Although I grew up coming to all of the Clemson home football games, I did not know a single person coming into recruitment or freshman year! I’d be lying if I told you recruitment wasn’t very intimidating for me, but I can tell you now that it was so worth it. I have found a group of girls that pushes me to grow in my academics, in my faith, and in everyday life.

My recruitment experience looked a little bit different from most people’s. I had an extremely bad case of mono which led to my mom staying in Clemson and driving me to our condo between parties to take naps. I was exhausted to say the least, but every single round I would look forward to talking to the ADPi girls. I clicked immediately with each of the girls I talked to and I always felt so welcomed and loved for just being myself.

From day one, I knew that the Zeta Nu chapter of Alpha Delta Pi was going to be the group that would help mold me into the best possible version of myself.

In round one I met one of my best friends and the most amazing big in the world. Elizabeth has taught me that life is a gift and that I need to live it to the fullest. She is one of the greatest things that ADPi has given me. One of the other gifts that ADPi gave me was my girl squad. These girls have truly seen me at my best having a blast at a function and at my worst literally crying after failing an exam.

Being someone that came in knowing absolutely nothing about Clemson’s greek life, the best advice I can give you is to follow your heart. I know it sounds silly and everyone has told you to trust the process and be yourself, but it is true. It will all work out for the best and you will find your people! Although I hope it is ADPi because of the amazing experience I have had, trust yourself and go with what feels like home! Recruitment looks so different this year, so if you need anything don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I can’t wait to meet you!” - Bryan Boykin, AC ‘19
