New Delta Profile

Morgan Bentley

It is truly my privilege to write you on behalf of the Eta Xi Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi for this week. I am just so excited to introduce myself to you and fill you in on all that my chapter is doing.
Growing up in a home that received frequent Adelphean magazines addressed to my mother, I used to flip through the pages looking at the many young ladies who proudly displayed their diamond whether they were performing community service or promoting our philanthropy, the Ronald McDonald House. I used to tell my mom that I was going to be an ADPi like her and she promised that if I did join her beloved sorority, she would arrive for my initiation. Well, about 11 years later, she kept her promise and surprised me by showing up at my initiation.

My name is Morgan Bentley and I am a freshman at Presbyterian College. I came to Presbyterian College to play for the PC’s women’s collegiate golf team and have embraced all that a Division I school has to offer. Graduating valedictorian of my high school senior class in Blairsville, Georgia, I value academics very highly and I am currently perusing a dual degree: a Physics degree from Presbyterian College and an Engineering degree from an engineering based university. Being the daughter of two electrical engineers from the Georgia Institute of Technology, I find myself very mathematically driven.
In my chapter, I serve as the Assistant to the Financial Vice President. I realize this position allows for me to learn the ropes of the Financial Vice President’s job. Ultimately, I hope to have the opportunity to take on that role in the future. I have come to my job with the eagerness to learn more about the core functions in Alpha Delta Pi, provide endless help to Abby Scott, the current Financial Vice President, and perform my tasks so that the financial aspects of the chapter will run as smoothly as possible.
Even though I am a legacy, I did not join Alpha Delta Pi to continue on the tradition set by my mother. Before rush, I had met some amazing ladies in ADPi who were both in my major and leaders for the incoming freshman. Ironically, one of these young ladies hosted me on Preference night and ended up being my Big Diamond Sister. Since then, I have grown closer to my alpha class sisters and frequently spend a large amount of time with them during classes or eating lunch. I consider myself fortunate for being able to call these great girls my sisters. Additionally, I love the Christian foundation of Alpha Delta Pi. I truly feel that Christ has allowed me to become a part of this sisterhood to have close fellowship with many of my sisters.
Again, it is truly my privilege of writing the Delta Letter this week. I have sincerely loved my time as an Alpha Delta Pi sister and cannot wait for more exciting events and opportunities to come my way.
Loyally,
Morgan Bentley

Betsy Bethune

My name is Betsy Bethune, and I am proud to claim I am a member of the Alpha Delta Pi Eta Xi chapter. Having grown up in Wilson, North Carolina, I was never certain whether or not joining a sorority was right for me. Once I arrived at Presbyterian College however, I was pleased to find a home within the Eta Xi chapter of Alpha Delta Pi. It is truly my honor to have made such that decision last October. As a freshman at PC, my current major is mathematics. I am also the chapter’s historian. With this position I am responsible for creating the scrapbook to be viewed during recruitment. My interest in scrapbooking has been prevalent for a number of years, and I am excited to allow this interest to benefit my chapter. I also know that I will be writing the chapter’s historian report in November. I hope my position allows me to get more and more involved in the chapter.
Throughout the recruitment process I was confident in my decision to join Alpha Delta Pi. At each recruitment event, the sisters were nothing less than welcoming, making me feel as though I was truly desired as an Alpha. What I love most about the Eta Xi chapter is our intense respect and true admiration for one another as sisters. I truly believe any one of my sisters would bend over backwards in order to help me, no matter what situation may occur. As a new Delta, I am honored to be integrated into such a magnificent group of girls.
This week, Eta Xi chapter announced a number of upcoming events and actions. Each officer will now have a perso

nal e-mail account specifically for their office. This will surely allow officers to be more easily contacted and more easily accessible. Officer goals have also been posted on the gin system, I think this is a great way for all sisters to be aware of where the chapter is headed. Also, this allows all members to have continuous input if they want to. The Eta Xi chapter will also host Give A Little Love, February 9-11. We will be fundraising by selling paper hearts for $1 each in order to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House. Since this is the new Delta’s first philanthropy event, I hope we can really step up and show the gifts we’ve brought to the chapter. We hope many students on ca

mpus will participate in this effortless fundraiser. We are excited to embark on a new semester as the first recruitment workshop of the year will be held on February 19. I’ve heard there’s so much to learn and the sooner the better, right! I am certainly proud to be a member of such an exceptional chapter of Alpha Delta Pi. As one can see, our chapter works to be involved and enthusiastic about our sisterhood.

Loyally,

Betsy Bethune
