You Know You're An Alpha Delta Pi If...

Violets, Diamonds, and Lions! OH MY!

You Know You're An Alpha Delta Pi If...
Tristan Mautz

Here are 10 things all Alpha Delta Pi ladies know to be true!

1. POP TABS.....EVERYWHERE:

It's no secret that the women of Alpha Delta Pi are relentlessly gathering pop tabs for our beloved philanthropy! From begging our families to collect them, pulling them off of abandoned cans at social events, and recruiting our friends to gather them, our backpacks, purses, pockets, laundry, and cars are overwhelmed with pop tabs and we wouldn't have it any other way!

2. Every lion is an Alphie:

Even Simba is now, Alphie, and every ADPi girl has a love for our cherished mascot. Because let's face it..it's hard to be humble when you are queen of the jungle!

3. You know how to expertly throw what we know:

It never fails. Every picture you hear, "PUT YOUR THUMBS DOWN" or "LEFT OVER RIGHT", as if us diamonds need it! ;)

4. You have said, "Will you live for me?" before asking a sister for something:

"We live for each other" is our open motto and we all take it seriously, but is definitely a cute way to ask a sister for a favor or to let a sister know we just need a little extra living for!

5. YOU LOVE EUGENIA:


Every sorority loves their founder(s), but Eugenia Tucker Fitzgerald started it all back in Macon, Georgia and ADPi's have a special place in their hearts for the woman who made it possible for us sisters to run home to Alpha Delta Pi.

6. You have a section in your closet dedicated to Orange and Camo:

Mallard Ball is a tradition for ADPi and even if you have never been hunting in your life you are well prepared to get {ducked} out for the celebration of duck hunting season!

7. You have ever had to explain what an "Alpha" is:

WE LOVE OUR ALPHAS!!! However, we don't love it when we explain it and someone responds, "Oh so a pledge." No not a pledge...a valuable member of our sisterhood who is beginning her journey!

8. Two words, "Boom Boom":

From open day as PNM's to our last days we will never forget that song and can't help but burst out into our famously catchy door chant as soon as somebody mentions it!

9. You hold a special place in your heart for RMHC:

Whether you have been helped by the charity as a child or have only been a volunteer, the Ronald McDonald House is a place you hold near and dear to your heart. What this charity does for families across the nation is simply amazing and we all work hard to help through philanthropy events and volunteering!

10. You know it's not just four years...it's forever:

We don't say, "First. Finest. Forever." for nothing! I remember crying happy tears when I opened my bid letter and finally got to run home! I have met so many sisters from many generations who share a love and sense of commitment to our sisterhood. The friendships and love I have experienced in this sisterhood is something I will hold onto for the rest of my life!

Christmas tree
Librarian Lavender

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.

Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
