To my ADPI sisters,

I did not know what I was getting myself into when I decided to go through recruitment.  At the time I was so unsure about college and the path I wanted to take over the next four years.  I was also unsure about who I was as a person and what kind of woman I wanted to become.  College is a monumental chapter in everyone's life, and I wanted mine to be special.

The first time I was introduced to you, I instantly felt at home. Every conversation was intentional and honest. The women I talked to were confident in themselves and each other. I felt myself become more excited and inspired. The next four years are still daunting and unknown, but I realized I could be a part of something that outweighed that fear. Something that would keep me grounded and driven. I could finally see myself growing into the self-assured woman my younger self longed to become.  

That was the moment I fell in love with ADPI and every single one of you. 

You are a group of women I know will always be there to support and encourage.  You have given me countless study and coffee dates, bellyaches from laughing, late-night conversations, and heartfelt cries.  And sometimes when I feel like that young girl again, I remind myself that  I have sisters who surround me, pushing me to become a courageous woman.

ADPI sisters, thank you for giving me a home away from home that I could never imagine was possible.

All my heart,

Alex Wesley
