When I first came to Clemson, I didn’t think a sorority was part of my journey—I was focused on my role as Miss South Carolina Teen USA. But then I met some incredible Alpha Phi women who invited me in and made me feel instantly at home. I saw firsthand the genuine friendships and support this sisterhood offers. My sophomore year, I joined Alpha Phi, and I wouldn’t trade that decision for anything.

If you told freshman-year me that I’d be running recruitment one day, I would’ve laughed—but because of a sisterhood that values leadership and a group of girls who believed in me, here I am, doing something I love. I thank God every day for leading me to true, genuine sisterhood, my sweet littles, future bridesmaids, an exec position, and the memories I’ll cherish forever. Thank you, Alpha Phi, for everything. I love you all so much!
