"While going through the recruitment process, I knew I wanted to find a chapter that felt like home. Throughout recruitment, ADPi was that chapter for me. It was so clear that every member genuinely loved being a part of ADPi and that stood out to me so much. The conversations felt so easy and I always walked out of the house with the biggest smile on my face. Each round, I’d laugh and joke with complete strangers, who immediately felt like friends. The positive energy was contagious and I knew I found my place in ADPi. Since recruitment, I have felt so welcomed and loved!! I have met the most amazing girls who I can already tell will be in my life for a very long time. I couldn’t be happier with my decision and I’m so excited for the next four years!"
-Lily Ahmed from Richmond, VA (AC”24)
"Growing up in a small town not far from Columbia, I always knew I'd be a Gamecock and that I wanted to make a big place feel small. I knew ADPI was an amazing chapter, full of young women who supported and uplifted each other to be their best selves. Throughout recruitment, my expectations were certainly exceeded! I instantly felt the love, support, sincerity, and devotion from each member. Everyone was so passionate and excited to share their chapter with me.
​
I knew ADPI was my home when I looked around the room and realized I'd be happy to be like every woman there; I've never looked back! Over the past year, ADPI has poured into me in so many ways and truly made me a better person. I've met my best friends, roommates, mentors, and some truly wonderful women I now call my sisters! I wouldn't want to live for anyone else. Thank you, ADP!"

"This chapter has given me experiences that have helped shape me into the woman I am today by my friendships that I share my favorite moments with and through memories that will last a lifetime. Being surrounded by a group of women who not only want to see me succeed, but help me achieve success has been the biggest blessing! Whether that is a lunch date at the house, a walk at the river walk, or getting ready for ADPi functions, I know I have the best friends with me through it all. If I could describe the women in ADPi, the first words that immediately come to mind are genuine and encouraging. Everyone you come in contact with in ADPi has the biggest smile on their face and are so welcoming right away - they want you to share in their sisterhood! I am so lucky to be a small part of this chapter and get to serve the women in it! ADPi is truly so special to me and I am so excited for recruitment!!”

Hear from two best friends Ella Locke & Kamryn Sprague in AC’21
“I met Kam during recruitment freshman year when she came over and sat with me on the grassy knoll. I instantly knew that I wanted to become her friend. Little did I know, only a week later she would become my ADPi sister and one of my very best friends! I remember being so excited running home on bid day and becoming doubly excited to see Kam in the same blue tank top as me. Thanks to ADPi, I not only got a best friend and roomate, but a forever sister. She has been one of my biggest college blessings and I’m so thankful we have the opportunity to experience these amazing four years together. Our memories are something that will last a lifetime and ADPi has been the perfect place to call home together!”
-Ella Locke, from Belton, SC
“From meeting Ella during recruitment, to running home together on bid day and calling her a sister, to finding out we lived in the same dorm was proof I had made the right decision when choosing ADPi! What a place to find your person. Since then, we have spent three of the best years of our lives together, making countless memories, living together, and preparing to take on post-grad together. She is truly my best friend, and I had no idea how much I needed someone like her! No matter if it’s lunch at the house or exciting weekend trips - we do everything together, big and small. She is everything funny, genuine, and loving. These characteristics make her a perfect friend, sister, and ADPi! I can’t thank Alpha Delta Pi enough for my people, like Ella. I can’t wait to take in every moment of our senior year with her by my side, then take Dallas on together. Here’s to experiencing all of our college firsts together, and now starting to experience all of our college lasts!”
