Hi! My name is Kennedy Montoya, and I am the current Vice President of Membership Experience here at Tri Delta. I am so excited that I will be able to lead this year’s recruitment, and having the opportunity to meet every single one of you!

As you stand on the threshold of recruitment, I want to share a little about my journey and the perspective I’ve gained along the way. If you're feeling a mix of excitement and uncertainty, know that you're not alone—I was right where you are not too long ago.

Coming into college, I was completely unfamiliar with Greek life. It wasn’t part of my background, and I didn’t know what to expect. I had a million questions and a healthy dose of apprehension. But what I’ve learned through recruitment is that this process isn’t just about being placed in a house, it is making sure that you will find the people that create a home away from home.

Recruitment can be challenging. It requires open-mindedness, a willingness to step outside your comfort zone, and the courage to prioritize your own needs and desires over external pressures. It’s easy to feel pulled in different directions, but remember: the decisions you make during this time should reflect who you are and who you want to become. Trust your instincts, stay true to yourself, and don’t be afraid to take the time to find the right place for you.

For me, that place was Tri Delta. Joining this sisterhood has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. It’s brought me my closest friends and current roommates, people who have become my support system and constant source of laughter and encouragement. Beyond the friendships, Tri Delta has also provided me with incredible leadership opportunities. These roles have challenged me to grow, taught me valuable skills, and prepared me for life beyond college in ways I never anticipated.

As you go through recruitment, keep your heart and mind open. Focus on what feels right for you rather than what others might expect. Trust the process, and know that your future sisters are excited to meet you and welcome you with open arms. I wish you all the best as you begin another journey of your college experience.

If you have any further questions about the application process, please visit the USC Panhellenic site or don't hesitate to reach out to me at uscdddvpm@gmail.com. Sending you Delta Love for this recruitment season!

<3 Kennedy
