SaraAnna’s Spotlight + Why ADPi ⟡

“This chapter has given me great insight on what it takes to be a successful woman, along with great role models to look up to.”

SaraAnna Goff - Alpha Class ‘19

“Hey PNMs!!! My name is SaraAnna Goff and I am a Junior Early Childhood Education Major. I am from the small town of Hartsville, SC. I am so excited that you chose to go through the recruitment process this year! It is a great experience and you’ll love every second of it! Growing up, my dad’s family were die hard South Carolina fans and my mom’s family were die hard Clemson fans, so I grew up switching off football games on the weekends! Senior year of high school arrived, and I chose to apply to my most favorite school, CLEMSON, and I would not have it any other way. Clemson has stolen my heart and I still get chills when I drive over the tiger paws on the road! My experience here has been nothing but great, and I cannot wait for you to start creating yours!

I was very intimidated going through the recruitment process. I am the oldest in my family, so I did not have an older sister or cousin to guide me through the process, and my mom did not join a sorority in college. After the first two days of rounds, I instantly knew where I wanted to call home. ADPi was the one chapter that made me feel most comfortable. I was able to be myself. I had great conversations with the girls, and each conversation felt so natural. I chose ADPi because every girl that I talked to was genuine and sweet. During rounds, girls went above and beyond to ensure that I felt wanted and special. I was able to let go of all of my stress and simply talk to girls during each round. Members that I knew walked by me and gave me a smile, which made me feel welcomed. Growing up, I have always looked up to the older girls in my town that I danced with who chose ADPi as their sisterhood at Clemson and I have always dreamed that someday I would be just like them. When I opened my Bid Day invitation, I immediately cried. Ever since that day, I have made memories of a lifetime.

ADPi has given me the best memories! I have enjoyed dancing the night away with my sisters at functions and mixers, cheering the Tigers on from the sidelines, and traveling with them during spring break. ADPi has pushed me to become a better person and a better leader. Zeta Nu has allowed me to raise the bar high academically, socially, and physically. This chapter has given me great insight on what it takes to be a successful woman, along with great role models to look up to.

The Alpha Delta Pi sisterhood embodies an amazing group of women that I am so proud to be a part of!

With that being said, my “Why ADPi'' answer is, when we say “We Live for Each Other,” we really mean it as we strive to make each other the best version of ourselves each and every day! I hope each and every one of you enjoy recruitment just as much as I did. I hope you even meet some besties along the way, like I did! Class of 2024, we are so excited to meet you! Get excited and have fun because some of your greatest Clemson memories are just now beginning!” - SaraAnna Goff, AC ‘19
