Sister Lyndsey Kay Chosen as a New Alpha Delta Pi Leadership Consultant
"This
coming year, I have the incredible opportunity to serve Alpha Delta Pi as a
Leadership Consultant. I didn’t even know this position existed until my
sophomore year when an LC visited Zeta Omega for the first time since I joined,
but she had a lasting impact on my ADPi experience and it has been a dream of
mine ever since. This past summer, I served as an Executive Office Intern at
Alpha Delta Pi’s Memorial Headquarters in Atlanta, GA and that experience gave
me an entirely new perspective on our amazing sorority. I saw ADPi not only as
a sisterhood, but also as an organization that requires so much passion, hard
work, and dedication from its members each and every day to run the 153
currently active chapters. I knew that I wanted to be a part of this and use my
passion to contribute to the growth and success of an organization that has
contributed so much to my growth and success as a person."
"The
process to become a Leadership Consultant was a long one. I went through
multiple rounds of interviews with various members of Executive Office staff
and Grand Council, but in the end it was all worth it. Myself and 11 other
sisters from chapters all over the country, in addition to a current LC signing
on for an extra year, will make up the class of 2015-2016 Leadership
Consultants, or as many will call us, the Sisters of the Suitcases. After
extensive training at Executive Office this summer, we will embark on our
journeys. I will live out of a suitcase for months at a time and call many new
cities home for days, weeks, or even months as I visit college campuses and
assist ADPi chapters with various activities such as recruitment, initiation,
and perhaps even colonization. This is not a typical 9-5 job, but rather a 24/7
responsibility to represent ADPi in the best way possible and serve as a role
model for all the women I’ll meet. I’m so excited to make new friendships and
hope to have a positive impact on every chapter I visit, even if it’s just
inspiring a young collegian to pursue her passions the way many women have done
for me. I will leave a little piece of my heart at every chapter I visit, and
know that I will learn as much from their love and hospitality as they will
learn from me. As I take on this exciting and challenging new role in ADPi, I
will always remember that “leadership requires confidence tempered with
humility and courage blended with tolerance” and am confident I will gain a new
appreciation for our open motto 'We Live For Each Other'."
We are so proud of you here at Zeta Omega, Lyndsey! We know you will go on to do great things.
