Dreams Come True (they really do!)


One month… One goal… One victory! 

The sisters of Alpha Delta Pi won the title of “Overall Champions” at Greek Sing 2013. This philanthropy event, hosted by UK’s Chi Omega Sorority and Phi Delta Theta Fraternity, is a huge fundraiser for the Make A Wish Foundation. It brings Greeks and non-Greeks together for a wonderful evening of – no, not singing – dancing, music, and fun!

ADPi’s theme this year was unforgettable – transportation. Everyone was “taken away” by the trucks, planes, boats, cars, trains, and motorcycles! From tap shoes to high heels and Ricky Bobby to a colonial woman – these girls worked extremely hard to accomplish their goal.

Although Greek Sing is a blast for all who are involved, it is much more purposeful than to just have a bunch of college students dancing on a stage. The money raised from this event is donated to the Make A Wish foundation. This organization’s mission is to grant the wishes of children who have life-threatening illnesses and diseases, giving them hope, strength, and joy. To date, Make A Wish has granted 231,782 wishes!

With all of the dreams coming true and wishes being granted, it’s safe to say that Greek Sing 2013 was an all around incredible experience!


Greek Sing Chairs, Tori Wolfe and Aubrey Bankemper, were
incredible leaders, exhibiting patience, passion, and confidence!
"I like my beat down low and my top laid back!"
"Come sail away with me!"
Here comes the TRAIN!
We live for each other!





Staying “Warm and Cozy” with Brittny’s Blankets


For our first Chapter Workshop in 2013, Alpha Delta Pi hosted "Brittny's Blankets" on the night of Feb. 6 at our house on Rose Street. This is the third year that ADPi has been involved with Brittny's Blankets, and we were so excited to be able to do it again.

This organization was started in December 2008 to honor the amazing life of Brittny Williams. Brittny battled cancer different times in her 14 years of life, and whenever she was cold she would want her blanket to keep her “warm and cozy.” Her parents, Dannette and Steve, and her brother, Brandon, work with volunteers to make homemade fleece blankets for children who are faced with disease or disability. To date, they have made and distributed over 600 blankets to various hospitals and clinics.

Our Membership Education Vice President knew that this would be a great way for our chapter to start the year. This event brought all members of our sorority together as we made 50 homemade fleece blankets. This event is starting to become a tradition and all the girls look forward to it each year.
