I hope I never forget how I felt on bid day. There is no feeling quite like opening a bid card that says “Alpha Delta Pi.”

While recruitment can be daunting and tiring, having the opportunity to walk back through the blue door of the Alpha Delta Pi house each round made it brighter. Running home to a sisterhood that welcomed me with open arms and the tightest hugs was one of the happiest and most rewarding memories of my freshman year. Bid day was chaotic, fulfilling, and heartwarming all in one, and it has only become more obvious to me that ADPi truly is my home.

The Alpha experience is unlike any other, and I am confident that not much could ever live up to it. Between big little reveal, our first date party and everything in between, I have never been in a place that is so fun, supportive, and sincere all at once. With each event, I felt more like a true part of this sisterhood, and I would not trade that feeling for anything!

Being initiated into ADPi and now looking forward to welcoming our next Alpha class is so rewarding and exciting! I know I am not alone in saying that AC ’22 has felt so welcomed and loved over the past year. Alpha Delta Pi is something special, and I knew it from the time I ripped open that envelope and ran home.
