Dear Potential New Members,
As I am preparing for my senior year, I have so much to be thankful for during my time at the University of Kentucky. I have received many blessings throughout my experience, but participating in Primary Recruitment and running home to Alpha Delta Pi three years ago is truly the blessing that keeps on giving. This chapter has surpassed all of my hopes and dreams, giving me the intentional friendships I have long prayed for, leadership skills that have allowed me to pursue roles I never dreamt of having, and memories that will stay with me forever. I can assure you of this - participating in Primary Recruitment will change your life in the very best way!
As Primary Recruitment draws near, I first want to express how proud of you I am - and how proud of yourself you will become. Registering for this experience can seem overwhelming, but you will be overwhelmed with joy and gratitude for the experiences that are to come! I can confidently say the Panhellenic Community will be an integral part of your experience on campus, as they support you throughout the entirety of your academic journey.
My greatest piece of advice is to be unapologetically YOU! This experience is YOURS! Take in every second, enjoy the process, and remember this is supposed to be fun! Participating in recruitment is truly an unmatched experience, one that I would choose to relive one thousand times over.
When I was in your shoes three years ago, I signed up for recruitment without having any idea what to expect. I was the first in my family to join the Panhellenic community, so if you’re feeling the same uncertainty I did, that is completely okay! You will find your home just as I did, because when I walked into Alpha Delta Pi during Open House - I knew I was right where I belonged.
Opening my bid card to find the words “Alpha Delta Pi” is a feeling I cherish forever. Even after just being in that house 4 times, I could feel how special this group of women was and I knew I would be changed forever. The last three years of Alpha Delta Pi have delivered in more ways that I thought possible. As I write this, I think so fondly of all of the laughs, new friendships, and sweet memories and have a deep appreciation for these women for helping shape me into the woman I am proud to have become. I know with all of my heart that the friendships I have made in this chapter reach far beyond the four years I have been at this University - but last many generations, even thousands of miles apart.
There are truly not enough adjectives for me to adequately describe the immense amount of love I have for Alpha Delta Pi! As I said earlier, I have been very blessed throughout my experience at this University. ADPi, however, is a blessing I am always sure to count twice.
Congratulations, dear! The best is yet to come! I cannot wait to see you find your home away from home and achieve your wildest dreams alongside women that you love.
I am sending my best wishes and biggest hugs!
Pi Love and all of mine,
Lauren Worley
Vice President of Recruitment
