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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
