Being an older sister was my first job & probably will always be my favorite one. Selena and I have shared so many amazing memories together. But one that comes to mind and will always hold a sincere place in my heart is when she ran home to me on Bid day. The joy and emotion that arose when I saw her walk into the ADPI house for the first time is undescribable. Selena embodies everything an ADPI is and should be— a woman that is strong, genuine, charismatic, and generous. I look up to her daily and she inspires me to not only be a better person, but also a better sorority sister. The bond we have now is stronger than ever because I get to see her grow and flourish in a chapter that pushes you and accepts you for who you are. She has found her place in ADPI, and I cannot wait to see all the amazing things she does, not only within the chapter, but also in the future as a proud, ADPI alum. - Alana

I knew I always admired Alana, but I don’t think I ever fully acknowledged it until we came into college together. Living with your sister your freshman year of college might sound like a burden to some or even boring. I’d like to say it has been nothing but the opposite. When Alana moved out two years ago, the best parts to my day disappeared. From doing quite literally everything together to our weekly bachelor night watch parties, I rarely saw her on the Sundays she came home, and the fear I had of college taking up all of her time away from me had come true. I had never not seen a smile on that girl’s face when I asked her about all things ADPI. I knew she was thriving and it made me so happy and excited for what was to come. Flash forward two years later, and I’m bawling my eyes out to Alana on pref day. Keep in mind I have never been the emotional one in the family (sorry to expose you sis), but in the moments she told me I was going to be a part of a sisterhood surrounded by genuine girls that valued my worth, pushed me to be my best, and would never let me go a day without being thankful for being in this chapter, I knew right then and there I was exactly where I needed to be.

Going from being real sisters to ADPI sisters was my biggest college blessing. It truly connected us even more than ever and I’ve come to admire alana in a million more different ways which I didn’t even think was possible. Alana is the definition of incomparable. She is incomparable in the sense that I have never met someone who is just as hard working, unapologetically kind, thoughtful, selfless, and reliable as her. She is my backbone. She keeps me in check. She tells me what I need to hear not what I want to hear. She is so intelligent, passionate, motivated, and doesn’t give her self enough credit for it. Her smile is so contagious and I have no doubt she’ll continue to make an impact on this world and anyone else she comes across. I hope to be half the person she is someday. Alana, I can’t wait to see you achieve your future as a doctor, I can’t wait to be by your side at your wedding someday, and you sure know I am counting down the days until I can be the Aunt to your kids. I hope you know I don’t take these days together for granted because I know it’s gonna all go by in the blink of an eye before we know it. Alana truly does it all and I’ve never been more proud to be double related with anyone else!! I love her and UKADPi forever and ever! - Selena
