New Delta Profile

Kristen Baer


My name is Kristen Baer and I am a freshman from Easley, South Carolina. I’m currently undecided on a major, but I’m thinking about majoring in business. I do not play any sports at PC, however, I danced and played varsity soccer when I was in high school.
Being a freshman in college is really scary at first and filled with unexpected challenges that I’ve never had to experience before, finding close friends was the key to helping me adjust. The girls in Alpha Delta Pi really reached out to me and made it so much easier to adjust to college life. The girls are awesome, they saw me for who I was and it was great to know that they wanted me in their sisterhood. A sisterhood I am so happy to be a part of. I feel as though they are really a second family to me. One of the things I love about our chapter is the fact that at the end we are able to forgive and forget what happened the week before, and remember that we are sisters and we live for each other! We love each other and we will always be her for one another.
We had semiformal last weekend and it was so much fun! Semiformal was my first function with ADPi, I know it’s been something my alpha class has been looking forward to and it definitely didn’t disappoint. I’m really looking forward to more social events with ADPi. As a chapter we seem to be having a blast together. One of my favorite things so far was Halloween. We all dressed up as the 101 Dalmatians with Kat as Cruella DeVille. It was such a cute and unique idea and we all had a blast! Also, I’m really looking forward to Black Diamond. I heard it was one of the best and a favorite of most of the girls in the chapter. Altogether Alpha Delta Pi is awesome and I love the girls I can call my sisters.

New Delta Profile

Hello Alumnae!

I figured you all would love to get to know some of your new sisters. This year, Eta Xi welcomed twenty-four New Deltas into our sisterhood and we could not be more ecstatic!

Every week or so, I will post one of them on the blog so you will all be able to get to know our sisters a little more.

Please continue to send me any questions or ideas you have.



Ellen Ashley
My name is Ellen Ashley. I am a freshman from Anderson, SC. I am one of the 24 new deltas in our chapter. I have not decided on a major yet, but I enjoy being outdoors and riding horses. I really enjoyed my first semester being at Presbyterian College and am very excited to begin Spring Semester!

One of the main reasons I have enjoyed PC so much is because of Alpha Delta Pi. I chose ADPi because I really liked all of the girls. Everyone in the chapter was so friendly and welcoming! The girls all seemed very fun and close, and I saw that it was something I wanted to be a part of. I never felt uncomfortable around any of my sisters and I have always had fun with them. They didn’t skip a beat in including me. This chapter has a lot of great things about it, including, the members and their bonds with one another. There are not many things I would change about the chapter, but I hope to get even more involved with our philanthropy as the semester goes on!

A big event coming up for ADPi is our semi-formal. All of the freshmen are very excited for our first function! The chapter is also adjusting to all of our wonderful new officers! This was our first chapter meeting with our new officers, so we are noticing all of the new girls in their positions. It is a busy week for Eta Xi and we are all looking forward to all of the events to come!

Loyally,
Ellen Ashley
