A Letter to A Sister
Sarah Gracely and Sabring Radabaugh AC ‘24

My ultimate why aDPi
ava Dzan AC ‘23
When I saw the words “Alpha Delta Pi” on my bid card, I knew I was ready to run home. Claire surprised me and it truly was the best day.

Panhellenic Love around the World

I’m sitting on the couch in my family home, nestled in the town where I took my first steps and faced my earliest milestones.
