Kala Campbell

Hi! My name is Kala Campbell and I am majoring in Philosophy with an emphasis in Law, Liberty, and Justice with a minor in History! After I finish my undergraduate degree, I plan on attending law school!

I met my Little Diamond Sister, Brooke, during the second round of Recruitment, and I knew right away I wanted her as my Little Diamond Sister! I knew after my first conversation with Brooke that she would be a perfect fit to our Diamond Family! Bid Day was such a fun day when Brooke ran home to ADPi! Since then, she has been my go-to girl whether I need fashion advice or a late-night milkshake run to destress from school! I know that any time, any day I can call her and she'll be there!!

Brooke and I worked online Recruitment together this year which made it so much fun because we got to show girls how genuine ADPi is and how much fun Big and Little Diamond Sister duos can be! Just as I met Brooke during Recruitment, we met Riley during online rounds! I commented to Brooke how cute she was and that I loved her bright pink top! During the conversations, all three of us just clicked, and we knew that we wanted Riley to be a part of our Diamond Family!

I admire my Diamond Family the most for our friendship between us! I think it is very easy for people to get caught up in the chaos of college, but I love that no matter what, I can count on these two girls! On a less serious note, I also love the fashion sense of Brooke and Riley! They seriously have the cutest and trendiest styles, and I love how we inspire each other to try new styles and trends!

I am so thankful for all the time I have had with both my Little Diamond Sisters and I cannot wait for all the memories we have yet to make!!

Brooke Kopittke

Hey everyone my name is Brooke Kopittke and I am a sophomore Graphic Communications major from Charlotte, NC. My Diamond Family experience has been one of my favorite parts about joining ADPi because not only are these girls my Big Diamond Sister/Little Diamond Sister, but also they’re my best friends. I was so lucky to have met my Big Diamond Sister, Kala, through Recruitment my freshman year and I instantly fell in love with her and everything ADPi. We connected almost instantly and I knew I had found my lifelong sisters after such an easy conversation with her. I was so happy to run home to her on Bid Day and even more thrilled to then become Diamond Sisters. She made freshman year such an amazing experience and easy transition by showing me around, offering endless advice and encouragement, and being one of my first friends in college! Since then, our friendship has only grown stronger and I would not be half the woman I am today without her guidance and support.

My favorite part about this year’s Recruitment experience was being able to work with Kala during online Recruitment! It was such a unique experience that brought us even closer because we were able to showcase our amazing bond to new PNMs. Kala and I met my Little Diamond Sister, Riley, early on in the Recruitment process and absolutely fell IN LOVE!! Within minutes of talking to Riley, we felt like she was one of our own and I couldn’t wait to speak to her again. I cannot express how happy I was when I got to talk to Riley a second time during Preference Round and I knew, without a doubt, this amazing girl would soon be my Little Diamond Sister.

One piece of advice that I would give the other members of my Diamond Family is to have confidence in who they are and remember that they can do whatever they set their minds to! These girls are so incredibly smart and driven and have such amazing dreams that I cannot wait to see them accomplish. I am so fortunate to be surrounded by such strong minded individuals because it pushes me day in and day out to be the best version of myself!

These girls are my ROCKS! I tell them anything and everything and I know, without a doubt, when I need them they will be there. Whether it’s celebrating Galentine’s with my Little Diamond Sister, Riley, or shopping in my Big Diamond Sister, Kala’s closet, these girls are always around and make each day I spend in Clemson a little more bright. LOVE YOU GUYS! xx

Riley Lovelace

Hi everybody my name is Riley Lovelace, and I am from Greenville, South Carolina. I am a freshman majoring in Business Management on a pre-law track, and I hope to minor in Philosophy. I’ve always enjoyed fashion and traveling which I pair with way too many pictures to document it all.

I remember so clearly talking on Zoom during Recruitment with Kala and Brooke for the first time! I had been so nervous in my previous conversations, but I felt so instantly comfortable with them like I was talking to good friends I’d known for a while. I was so excited after our conversations that I immediately looked them up on Instagram (lol), and showed my mom while talking her ear off about how cool and similar to me they were. This was such a huge turning point for me in the Recruitment process! It became a lot less stressful because I started to just be more excited about it all. Getting to talk to them again in Preference Round really made my decision so clear about where I was supposed to be.

I was able to hangout with Brooke on Bid Day which made the day even more enjoyable! She introduced me to her friends and put in effort to get to know mine. It meant so much to me that someone was so invested in me and my life when they hadn’t known me for very long. Getting ready for game day with both her friends and mine was such a highlight of my first semester experience. There are so many memories I was able to make and people I met because of her, which I will always be forever grateful for. I met Kala in person not too long after, and I was instantly obsessed with her too. I admire her in a lot of ways, and I love hearing every detail of her travels and times working at the fashion mart in Atlanta! She is just simply one of the coolest people I’ve ever met. Also, she always reaches out to me and makes cute little fam plans for all of us. I can tell how much effort she has put into having a great relationship with Brooke as both a Little Diamond Sister and a best friend, and I am so thankful Brooke and Kala have continued this by treating me this way as well. They’ve quite literally spoiled me to say the least, from Kala bringing me back earrings from the fashion mart (accompanied with my favorite candy!!!), to Brooke getting us all matching necklaces (which I get compliments on everyday), to them both going above and beyond with gifts that welcomed me to ADPi (Brooke’s whole bedroom was filled wall to wall with fun shirts and the cutest paintings)!

I’m looking forward to making more memories with them because the recent ones are those in which I can see myself looking back on to reminisce about life when I’m older. Oddly, I am excited to tell my “good old days” stories, and I just know both of them will be in so many. I feel so blessed that I have had them with me every step of the way my freshman year. We’ve all talked about visiting Kala’s hometown to have a fun girls weekend in Athens, and I can’t think of anything better than that! It’s been so nice having them to run to for advice and just be an open ear I know I can trust. Brooke does a really good job at keeping me on top of things and laughing with me when I’m a little clumsy in life. Kala’s always checking in on me, and I appreciate how much she has tried to get to know me and really make our Dimond Family feel like a family. We all gel really well together, so it’s always fun whether it’s a wholesome dinner in Kala’s apartment, a cute picnic photoshoot (where we make fun of our not so cute photos in our group chat), or a nice dinner where we just catch up and talk about everything in our lives.

I’m a firm believer that people make the place, and Kala and Brooke have genuinely made Clemson feel like home with our Dimond Family! I am confident for the future knowing they’ll be in my life for a long, long time. I’ll forever be grateful to ADPi for giving me some of the best people life has to offer! I love you both wholeheartedly <3
