Pay it Forward


By: Anna Kate Sumler

On my first day at Grand Convention, I had the great pleasure of having a very special training session with former Grand Council member (among her many titles) – Lindy Lutz Cash.
            Today at the Foundation Luncheon Mrs. Cash was the Keynote Speaker and focused on the leadership tagline of the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation’s belief system of “Educate. Lead. Serve.”  Mrs. Cash began her speech by quoting the words of our Creed,

“I believe that my sorority is more than a ritual or symbol,
that it is a way of life.”
            Anyone that has been fortunate enough to meet Mrs. Cash knows what an exceptional person and outstanding Alpha Delta Pi sister she is.  During her speech she says that she owes her many successes in life to the foundation of skills that she developed in Alpha Delta Pi and especially because of her time as a President at Chi chapter.
            You might be familiar with the quote,

“There are four kinds of people in the world –
People who make things happen.
People who watch things happen.
People who wonder what happened.
And people who don’t know anything happened.”

Mrs. Cash closes ends her speech by saying, “Learn, grow, and thrive from your leadership experience in Alpha Delta Pi.  My foundation in Alpha Delta Pi has taught me that I am someone who makes things happens.”

What kind of person are you?

Tuesday Night: Here’s What You Missed

International Officer Appreciation Dinner
By: Anna Kate Sumler

As an incoming Leadership Consultant, it was a special treat to arrive at Grand Convention a day early.  I checked in on Tuesday afternoon and hit the ground running with training sessions in preparation for my new LC role.  I am excited to apply all of this new information at Alpha Delta Pi collegiate chapters this academic year.

 Delicious Cake Pops with ADPi Themes Of Course!

            So a little something that collegians missed on Tuesday night was the International Officer Appreciation Dinner.  At this time, women who have volunteered to serve our organization are honored and recognized.

            It was so awesome to see the great number of women who stood up to receive difference charms from Alpha Delta Pi for volunteering 5-9 years, 10-14 years, 15-19 years, 20-29 years, and 30+ years.


            As we applauded these women it made me realize that membership in this organization truly is for a lifetime if you want it to be and reaffirmed my commitment to serve this organization.
