Bid Day As Told By Friends

Bid day is such a wonderful thing. New members, food, picture taking, and so much more. My bid day was today, so as I'm writing this I'm getting so excited about how amazing today went. Bid day is one of the most exciting times for the chapter and the amount of work that goes into it is insane. Because bid day is so amazing, and the TV show Friends is equally as amazing, I decided to put the two together to lay down the basics of bid day.


1. You start by singing the new members in, holding props and dressing for the theme.

2. Your whole chapter is WAY too excited to have new members in the house that you can't contain yourself.

3. You're all helping each other look good because there are SO many picture opportunities.

4. Giving house tours to the new members like...

5. When there is so much food that it's all you can think about.

6. The new members are on their way to the house...

7. But then you force yourself to remember this is fun and everything is going to go as planned.

8. At first the new members don't know how to act, but once they see you so excited they get super excited too.

9. When they say "there's extra food" once bid day is over.

10. Then this is you after...

11. Not knowing how to talk to a new member because you want to impress her but you end up being weird.

12. When you already love the new members so much that you feel like you're they're school mom.

13. When you love your bid day theme so much and go way too hard but so does everyone else so it doesn't matter.

14. When the music is blasting and you can't help to dance to throwback songs with your favorite people (a.k.a. your sisters).

15. When you literally do everything you can to impress the new members and end up embarrassing yourself.


16. At the end of bid day, after a day filled with singing, food, picture taking, mingling, dancing, and more, you're so exhausted and end up looking like this.

Being in a sorority is so amazing, and bid day is just one of those amazing things that you get to be a part of when you join a chapter. It's the thing that brings a long but fun week or two of recruitment to a close, and it's the best celebration for your chapter and for the new members. I can't stress enough how much you should appreciate everything that goes into making bid day as amazing as it is, because the behind the scenes work is way more than you can imagine. I give major props to anyone who has ever planned a bid day. I hope that all of the Friends and bid day lovers out there were just as inspired by this as I was.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
