Molly Langella (PC’18) tells us #WhyTriDelta and the people who make it up have given her an amazing first year at Clemson!

Hey y’all! My name is Molly Langella and I am going to be a sophomore next year at Clemson (what!?). Literally, I just had to rewrite that sentence because I truly feel like I was just running down Bowman on Bid Day as a little freshman. I’m from Atlanta, GA, so not many people from my hometown went to Clemson. Because of that, I constantly get the question “Why Tri Delta?” every time I come home. For me, the answer is plain and simple: the people.

From the moment I stepped into Tri Delta’s round during rush, I was amazed at how welcomed I felt and how it truly feels like home. The older girls that talked to me during rush did not just ask questions to ask them, they asked me meaningful questions that showed how they truly wanted to get to know me. From that moment, I felt like I could find my place in Tri Delta. It was actually the end of this year when I was cleaning out my room in Manning Hall (best place ever) that I came across my notebook from rush. During rush, I was very diligent about writing down every detail from my rounds so that I could go back later and look at them. As I was flipping through my pages, I discovered my notes on Tri Delta. I almost started laughing as I was reading them because it was crazy that the names of the girls that I talked to during rush (who I ADORED) are some of my closest friends today and people I genuinely look up to.

Tri Delta has given me so many different opportunities that I am incredibly thankful for. Not only do they encourage us in everything we do, but there are also girls in Tri Delta involved everywhere on campus who truly care about you and want you to get plugged into your perfect niche. For me, Tri Delta was the perfect place. I loved how I didn’t have to try to be anyone but myself. Conversations were easy, being with everyone was fun, and my heart was genuinely happy and at peace. This is because of the girls in Tri Delta.

Their leadership.

Their kindness.

Their creativity and spunkiness.

And most importantly, how much they cared about their sisters.

Tri Delta has not just given me a “sorority” but a home. A sisterhood that I know will continue to be present even when I’m out of college. I am forever thankful for Clemson Tri Delta for giving me my best friends and the most amazing community. All the Delta Love!

XOXO,

Molly Langella
