ALPHA DELTA PI

Welcome Letter from Our President

Hello, and welcome to Kappa Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi!

My name is Mary Rene Quarles, and I have the incredible honor of serving as the 2025 President of Kappa Chapter. I am so glad you are here!

Being part of sorority life was always something I desired out of college and it was evident that Samford Greek Life was a community like no other. From the first moment I stepped foot in the ADPi house during recruitment, I knew that those were the women I wanted to surround myself with and who I wanted to become. I desired a sisterhood of high-caliber women who would call me to a standard of excellence in scholarship, leadership, and in both my personal and spiritual life. After three years as a member of Kappa Chapter, my expectations have been exceeded beyond what I could have ever imagined.

My college experience would not be remotely the same without the presence of Alpha Delta Pi. During recruitment I chose ADPi because I felt valued, loved, encouraged, and as though they saw potential in me that I did not yet know I had. The women in Alpha Delta Pi have believed in me when I have not believed in myself, showing me what humility, unconditional love, and true friendship look like. I have grown immensely as a person because of Alpha Delta Pi, but I never expected how much I would grow as a leader. ADPi has taught me the importance of being humble, approachable, and available when in a position of leadership and these are qualities I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I would not be the person that I am today without the unwavering support of my sisters and there is not a day that goes by that I am not reminded of how precious a gift it is to call Kappa Chapter home!

As president, I am looking forward to all the lessons, growth, laughs, and memories that are ahead. It is such a privilege to serve Kappa Chapter and it is still difficult to wipe the pride from my face when I get to claim these women as my sisters. The legacy of our chapter is built on women of incredible character, who lead by the example of Christ and encourage others to do the same.

Please take a look around our website, and get to know the girls who live for each other every day. I hope as you look at the photos and read more about what sets our chapter apart, you see the heart behind Kappa Chapter and the 250 women that call it home. We are so happy you are here!

Loyally,

Mary Rene Quarles, Kappa Chapter President
