I am proud to be a member of Alpha Delta Pi for so many reasons; the truly wonderful friendships I’ve made, the opportunities I’ve been given, the things I have learned, and all the other aspects that come along with being in a sorority. I’ve always known that the women of ADPi have and will continue to do amazing things in this world and have so many different talents but recently, I was in the car with a friend and we were listening to “Girl Crush” by Little Big Town. I got super excited because I got to brag on ADPi a little bit by talking about how an alum, Karen Fairchild, is the lead singer on that song. I started thinking about how cool it was to be hearing the music of someone I had this huge thing in common with and I knew I wanted to find more music by other ADPis so I could brag on them too.

ADPi isn’t new to music by any means, we’ve had many Broadway and opera singers in the past and in terms of country, Deana Carter has made a huge impact as a Grammy nominee, CMA winner for her song “Strawberry Wine”, and co-writer of my favorite Kenny Chesney song, “You and Tequila”. More recently though, Jessica Williams went viral when she and her sister sang a flawless Taylor Swift mash-up that was featured on TSM. Ashley Armstrong became Vine famous for her voice and joined other Vine users to create a band, “Dear Ears”, that released this amazing, seriously angelic EP in late July. Janet Angrysoul just released a music video for her own single, “Comfort, Comfort” on August 12th. Brenna Miles (below), or B. Miles, is in numerous magazines for her unique voice and upcoming EP, having already released two songs on Soundcloud you'll have on replay all day. These women are beyond talented and that is only a few of the many ADPis involved in music right now.
With the help of some intense Google searches and so many sweet girls from other chapters, I was able to find other ADPi women making awesome music and made Spotify playlist so more people can hear and enjoy. Unfortunately, not everyone is on Spotify but I definitely encourage anyone and everyone to look into what other girls in ADPi or their own sorority are doing and support them even if it’s as simple as buying their music on iTunes. Thanks, ADPi, for connecting me with such inspiring and creative people!
Note: Luke Bryan’s wife is an ADPi so I took the liberty of including him because well, I can.
