Well clearly for my sisters you know the rest of this line is "My ADPi's" and the truth is I do, among other things right now. This weekend was recruitment here at UNCW and my first time on the advisor side. Let me tell you, it almost gets crazier behind the curtain. Luckily, I have two amazing sisters who advise with me and kept me laughing all weekend. Even when it was 4 am and we were on a bench in the dark. Even when salt and vinegar chips were dinner. Even when the the conversations turned grouchy and or random. We laughed, and laughed and laughed. Today, when I saw those 32 new girls come in with their bids, one being a student of mine, with tears in their eyes. I knew it was worth it and man did I remember the day I got mine. Being in Alpha Delta Pi changed me life. My sisters have forever changed me and I continue to grow and learn from them every day. Now, it's not only my Epsilon Chi sisters, but my Eta Alpha sisters both alum and active members. So I must give a shout out to Whitney and Katherine, my two advisor sisters who put up with bell curves, 100%, skateboards, nike shorts, Chilies, MOH and tons more and kept me laughing through the late hours of the night. It's amazing to me that hearing the words from the preference ceremony brought me back to my time in Epilson Chi so quickly, perhaps not as quickly as the SHHHHHing before the the knock before a party, or the excitement of "SHE HAS TO BE MY DIAMOND", or the dance practice and awkward conversations but man oh man did I quickly remember what it was to be on the chapter side of recruitment. Overall it was a great weekend, and today, like most days, I was proud to be an ADPi.
Luckily... 6 of my dear Epsilon Chi sisters are coming this weekend and I can only imagine the stories, laughs and craziness that will come of it. Stories to come. I promise.
Like I said, deep in my heart I love my ADPi, among other things. Have I told you how much I love my ACErs, because man I do. They have each planned and implemented some amazing programs over the past month and I could not be prouder. On top of that, they have sold out their fall show, Anberlin and Switchfoot. Talk about an exciting start to the year. I am reminded every day that I am luckily to have found a job I love so much and to work with students who day after day make me proud.
And of course, deep in my heart I love, my family and friends. The past two months have seemed crazy. Through it all I have had the most amazing support network. Whether it's a dinner date to take a break from the craziness, and e-mail from my roommate to make me smile, a card in the mail from my mom or far away friend, or a weekend at home just when I needed it. I am lucky to have people around me who love me so much and continue to support me, whether I ask for it or not.
In other news... I got to be a part of something really awesome which was a student initiative to commemorate 911
check it out! (yes that is me in the red pants... hottie)
Other than that I'm just living the dream... hope you are doing the same :)
