Hero This Week: Taylor Sang

Hero this week: Taylor Sang
Junior, pledge class 2009


I nominate Taylor Sang as our Hero of the Week. She has obviously shown her dedication to Alpha Delta Pi and to the members of our chapter. Taylor is an amazing representative of our sorority in the classroom, on the campus, and in the Bowling Green and Louisville communities. Whether she is entering and placing in pageants, serving as our panhellenic delegate, or just keeping up the general morale of our chapter, Taylor is a vital member of our sisterhood. She is not only a beautiful individual, but she is kind, caring, and so compassionate. She steps in when no one else will, and although it may seem like sometimes those contributions go unnoticed or unrecognized, she truly does inspire me and countless sisters to take opportunities to give back to ADPi, and I strive to be as genuine of a sister as Taylor is.

Hero This Week: Allyson Hart

Hero This Week: Allyson Hart
Junior, Pledge Class 2009



Allyson Hart is a hero in my eyes. She is one of the most selfless individuals I know and strives to be a strong, Christian woman every day. This past semester was extremely hard for me in all aspects and one person that was constantly there for me, no matter what, was Allyson. She never left my side, even if that meant hearing me vent for an hour about a petty, unimportant topic. We've only been really close for about a year and a half now, and our friendship is as strong as ever. She not only is an amazing friend, but an amazing sister. Allyson does so much for our sisterhood and sometimes doesn't get the credit that is deserved. Allyson is a very devoted and committed person, whether it be for ADPi or the gentlemen of AGR, whom she is sweetheart for. If you haven't had the pleasure of spending time with Allyson, I encourage everyone to do so. She is a bright, bubbly woman with a lot of heart and a contagious laugh. Everyday she amazes me with her kindness and love and I strive to be like her on a daily basis. Allyson truly is a life saver and I don't know where I'd be today if I didn't have her in my life.

Hero this week: Bennett Peck
Freshman, Pledge Class 2011

I’d like to nominate Bennett Peck as the Hero of the Week. Ever since taking office a couple months ago, she has worked whole-heartedly each and every day to better the philanthropic aspect of our chapter. I think everyone in the chapter can agree that she has taken extraordinary leaps of faith, even as a freshman, and will continue to do amazing things for Epsilon Delta. As philanthropy chair she lives out our creed each day as she approaches every task she undertakes with humility and does not lose focus of the purpose our philanthropy serves to the Ronald McDonald House and to our Bowling Green community. Bennett Peck is a selfless, beautiful, and driven young woman who should be admired. (Oh, and the pageant this week is gonna be rockin’!)

I would love to nominate Lilly Davis for our Hero of the Week. Lilly is the epitome of a woman living out her faith and sisterhood. Whether she is making a joke, speaking tender words of encouragement or giving reassuring hugs, she always puts me at ease. Her humble dedication to her sisters and her duties is steadfast and often unnoticed, but I strive to be as selfless as her. Her nurturing nature and positivity make her a sister to be admired. Lilly lives a life of love, kindness, and compassion and we are incredibly lucky to have her as a member of this chapter. I love and respect her more than she will ever know and couldn't ask for a better housemate, sister, or friend.

I would like to nominate Jenna Berthelot for Hero of the week. Her massive amounts of love, guidance, and selflessness are traits that I admire and try to pass on daily. She is my shoulder to cry on, my audience for stories, my accountability partner, my ride home on most weekends, and my best friend. I admire her passion to constantly better herself, even though she's great exactly as she is! Any sister that has not had the privilege of spending an afternoon alone with Jenna is missing out. She is so much stronger than she gives herself credit for and has blessed my life in countless ways.

Hero This Week: Rachel Huffman & Jenna Rousey

"I can barely even begin to tell you how much you touch my soul, raise my hopes, and inspire my smiles. Maybe the best way to convey it is to lovingly try and say that you've always been and you will always be just like a sister to me."

When I sat down to write about you two, these words from Emilia Larson resonated with me. I have always heard that you can look up to those who are younger than you but I had never experienced that until now. Even though we have only know each other for a few months you all have become some of my best friends and have a special place in my heart. I have been so excited to be a big sister and I am blessed and honored beyond belief to call you both my precious diamond sisters. Jenna, thank you for giving into my obsession with bargain shopping, being spontaneous with me, and for always bringing me soup and a laugh when I am sick. Rachel, Thank you for understanding my sarcasm and sense of humor, being silly and making Facebook videos together and for giving me a shoulder to cry on when I need it most. Remember you can be Forest, I will be Bubba and we can sit back to back so neither of us has to sleep in the mud. Thank you both for being there for me, lifting me up and and for encouraging me when all I wanted to do was break down. You both have touched my life and I can only hope I can make an impact on yours.

I love you lil Rousey and lil Huffbaby and don't you ever forget it!

Your Diamond Sister,

Senior pledge class 2008

This past summer was one of the hardest I've been through. It was my first summer not living at home and I can't even begin to explain how hard it was to say goodbye to my bestfriend, not knowing if he will come home safely or not. I really don't know what I would have done without Mallory there with me through it all. She was there when I needed her the most and she always knew how to motivate me out of my bed and keep me from moping around all day. She has become one of my best friends and I can't thank her enough for what she's done for me. She was my should to cry on and she always knew how to keep me going day after day. I don't know what I would have done without her. I love you Mallory.

I would like to nominate Jayde Johnson as “Hero of the Week.”She is not only “REALLY pretty,” but she is a great role model. I know I can always count on her for anything.

She is resolved to be her best, live her life positively and most importantly, be happy. She is one of the most caring people I know. Whenever I have a problem or have had a rough day, I can always count on her to turn it around, see the positive and make me smile.

Hero This Week: Jessica Higgins!

Chosen By: Amy Winkler
 

Jessica Higgins is so beautiful inside & out. She truly exemplifies everything Alpha Delta Pi stands upon. She does illustrate the highest ideals of Christian Womanhood and she does enrich me with true friendship. She is selfless and understanding. We laugh and we cry together. She offers me so much confidence and support. I hope Jessica understands I want to be for her, what she is for me. From Jessica, we can all learn to wipe our slate clean and hold no grudges. Jessica treats every sister with understanding and respect. That makes her standout. My wish is that we could all become a lot more like Jessica. This week was full of ridiculous stresses, but nonetheless she was there for me through them all. Jessica truly is my best friend, sister, and hero. You are beautiful & I love you to the moon and back!

Hero This Week: Alex Kimura!
Chosen By: Anne Taylor Wilson

Alex is one of the most beautiful individuals--inside and out--that I have ever met. She never ceases to amaze me. She is smart, driven, talented, and undeniably hilarious. I will never forget when she stood up at her first Epsilon Delta meeting and made an announcement about starting a new program on campus, FeelGood, to end world hunger. I remember thinking, "Dang, This girl is legit!" Alex did not waste a minute of her time getting involved on campus or in this sorority. After being here for only a semester, Alex had founded a new organization on campus, became a Spirit Master, and took on the daunting task of Spring Sing Props, all while maintaining outstanding grades and dealing with the difficult and unexpected diagnosis of her sister. She's a rock star. Alex really blew me away during recruitment week. As I said before, the girl is down right funny. Her sense of humor and with are unmatched. She was not afraid to bust out her inner-nerd and act like a complete goofball during the theme skit. Plus, she allowed herself to be vulnerable & opened up by sharing her testimonial at preference, which I think we all would agree extremely moving. Not only that, but she can dougie with the best of them, make a mean grilled cheese. Alex, even though you are my adopted little sister, I truly look up to you and am often awestruck at how outgoing, hardworking, and optimistic you are. I love you, little! Remember: Game Face, Bring it On :)

Hero This Week: Alex Wood

Chosen By: Amanda Heim

Alex is my diamond sister & I couldn't imagine my life without her in it. She is absolutely the most loving and caring person I know. She will drop anything and everything for those she loves. I know if I ever need advice or I'm upset about something-I can always call Alex. She didn't know me at all when were assigned Big & Little but she took me under her wing and treated me like her sister from the start. Alex contributes so much to Alpha Delta Pi. She is a sister who listens, cares, and understands. She also holds an office. I strive every day to be Alex. She is truly the epitome of an Alpha Delta Pi. She is strong in her faith and always turns to God or prayer in times of trouble. She also looks for the best in people. This is something I admire I wish I could do. If everyone were to be Alex, the world would truly be a better place. I am so glad Alex is an Adpi and I am so proud to call her my big sister. She's not just my diamond sister, she's my best friend, companion, & future cat lady.

Hero This Week: Aarika Hutton!

Chosen By: Anonymous

Aarika has been the perfect example of what an Adpi should be. She does it all. She's involved on campus, she's super active in Adpi as our president, and she gives back to the community. With all of this, she still makes time for her sisters. Aarika always has a smile on her face. She has such a kind spirit and is nice to everyone she comes into contact with. Not once does she ask for recognition for all that she does for this chapter and for this campus. She does it all because she loves Adpi & WKU. This is my way of saying thank you for all that you do. Thank you for being a role model. Thank you for being kind, even when no one is looking. And thank you for being one of the best sisters I could ever ask for. You mean more to me than you know. Pi Love You with all I have!

Hero This Week: Molly Clark!
Chosen By: Heidi Smith

When Molly started off her senior year, she was expecting 8am classes everyday, lots of homework, and getting ready for graduation. She was not expecting getting a little at all. Molly works on campus, is on the Up Till Dawn committee, handles many classes and maintains good grades. With all of this she is still active in Adpi. She is seen as a hard worker and an all around great person from anyone in the community. Molly has been there for me through all the health issues and all the problems that have been happening at home in my life. I never could have imagined that someone who I had just met would already want to do so many things for me, as well as guide me and just be there for me. Molly & I did not know each other when we were paired up as Diamond Sisters. I was honestly worried about her being my big sister--but now I know for a fact that I would not have made it through without my big. She calls & checks up on people , and offers things when they are needed. I have never seen nor known such a caring person. Molly I love you and thank you so much for being there for me. You truly are and will forever be my hero. You are indeed the definition of a sister.

She is absolutely beautiful inside and out. She is never angry, always positive, easy going, and she sees the glass half full.

Hero This Week: Anne Taylor Wilson!
Chosen By: Alice Weber


Anne Taylor is one of the most beautiful, smartest, well rounded people I know. With her continuous dedication to school work, her job, sorority, friends, and family--Anne Taylor has got it all together. I admire Anne Taylor for being such a hardworker. She's a pro at handling a lot of things at once. She strives to put God first in her life and always stays positive no matter what life throws her way. Some of my favorite things about Anne Taylor are no doubt her hair twirling, but the fact that she can laugh about anything. I know if I'm having a bad day, she is willing to do anything to cheer me up. She represents what a true Alpha Delta Pi should be. Anne Taylor is the best friend I could ever ask for. She's been one of the main contributors to my strength after a break-up and strength as a person. I thank God for Anne Taylor. Because of her, I've found an overall happier place in my life. I couldn't have done it without her. I look up to Anne Taylor more than she knows and I know that I am not the only one. I'm so blessed to have Anne Taylor in my life: as a sister, a best friend, and a roomie!
