Alpha Delta Pi

Hi Friends! 

 

My name is Megan Sloan, and I am honored to serve as the President of the Gamma Xi chapter of Alpha Delta Pi here at our beautiful University of California, Santa Barbara.

​

I remember scrolling this Panhellenic website the summer before my freshman year, researching and compiling all the facts I thought I needed to be best prepared for rush. But if I’m being honest, rushing and Greek life are things that you can’t entirely prepare for through research! Being in Greek life will bring friendships, opportunities and memories that you would never see coming… and those are the best types! 

 

My advice for rush, or even the undergraduate experience in general, is to relish the present moment. A total cliche! But my time in Alpha Delta Pi has emphasized how moments make memories. 

 

In addition to creating my college core memories, being a member of Alpha Delta Pi has catalyzed my personal and professional growth in an unpredictable and incredibly positive way. 

 

Alpha Delta Pi provides philanthropic and leadership opportunities, along with fostering a culture of friendship, love and support, that pushes members to be the best versions of themselves and pave the way for a successful future. 

 

This chapter prides itself on putting our members first, and supporting our individual accomplishments. The thing that brings together our members is not our surface-similarities, but our similarities in motives. The members of ADPi are driven and want to be challenged academically and professionally, and we push one another to go outside of our comfort zones. We have members from a variety of majors that motivate one another. Not to brag, but our members are recruited by top accounting firms, and enter top medical and law schools post graduation. There are years upon years of successful alumni who show their support to everyone, no matter what year they join. 

 

Our national philanthropy is the Ronald McDonald House Charities, an organization that helps families in their most trying times by providing housing and food close to hospitals. Every quarter, we host a variety of events to raise money for RMHC, including restaurant fundraisers, “Pie an ADPi”, and our biggest event, “ADPi’s Got Talent”. RMHC has directly helped a few of our sisters and their families. Philanthropy becomes personal when we see the impact that RHMC has had on those members and we are so proud to be supporting this organization.

 

But the most powerful aspect of our chapter is our sisterhood. The members of ADPi can be described with one word: genuine. Whether it’s sunset walks, corepower carpools, intramural basketball teams, or Bachelor viewing nights, there is always a sister there for you to do the things you love. I am beyond blessed to have lived with my best friends in the chapter for the past year, who have cried with me at my worst, and laughed with me at my best. Alpha Delta Pi brought me friendships unlike any I have had before.

 

Those friendships extended even further into the Panhellenic Community! There are some pretty incredible and inspirational Panhellenic leaders and individuals across the board. Being a part of this community has made me a better person. I implore you to explore our website and read through the testimonies of all these leaders, and hope you can feel the love and support that radiates through Panhellenic. 

 

All the Best!
