A Letter from our Vice President of Recruitment
Dear Potential New Members,
My name is Emma Ferrante and I am so humbled to have the opportunity to serve you and the members of Alpha Delta Pi Kappa Chapter as the VP of Recruitment for 2024. Trust me, I have been in your shoes before and I understand all of the excitement, fears, doubts, and questions. Be not afraid. The opportunity to come to Samford is such a unique one, so take advantage of it! The people here have never met a stranger, the scenery is beautiful, and there are an abundance of ways to get connected into the community. Samford Greek Life has just so happened to be my favorite way!
In joining Alpha Delta Pi almost 3 years ago, I was gifted with a set of eyes to see people who I would never have gotten to see. I was gifted a group of women who are compassionate towards me, and make my heart softer by the day. I was gifted with endless belly laughs. I was gifted with lifelong dance partners, roommates, bridesmaids, shoulders-to-cry-on, and those one-call-away friends who I never knew I needed but am so grateful I have. My sisters in ADPi are a diverse group of women who make me feel known, who affirm my talents, who push me to be better, and who love me where I am. I would love if you could experience this same place of home that I have found here in ADPi. No matter where you end up, it is my hope that you find women like I have found here. No Greek letters or sorority bid could change the worth and identity that has already been placed on you by the God of the universe. You are SO deserving of all things good, and I am unbelievably eager to meet each and every single one of you!
Loyally,
Emma Ferrante
