It's Your Bid Day
Liz Smith

To my new sisters on Bid Day,

I can't tell you how excited I am that you've chosen to fly with the best. We, as a chapter, have been preparing for you for a while and I can tell you that we are all so pumped to get to know you. We saw that you carried our values, we saw that you sparkled and we wanted you.

I remember my Bid Day like it was yesterday. I was nervous and excited. It was a new chapter in my life and I couldn't wait to get 100 sisters to call my own. I remember opening up my bid card and feeling a sense of belonging before even stepping foot into the house again. I remember running home into the arms of a group of girls I now call my family. I can only imagine your joy, your nerves and your love for your new home.

I can't wait to get to know you. I can't wait to take a million pictures with you and call you my sisters, my friends, and my grandlittle. I can't wait for you to learn about our founders, our history and fall in love with the place we call home. You're going to live our values and show the world what an amazing woman and Pi Phi you are. You're going to learn just how special our chapter is and be a part of something bigger than yourself. You're going to learn the traditions of Pi Phi and make the connections of a lifetime. You're going to find your best friends, your roommates and your future bridesmaids.

If you ever need a shoulder to cry on, you have us. If you need someone to eat pizza with you at 3 a.m., you have us. If you need someone to make you laugh until your stomach hurts, you have us. If you need a home away from home, you have us. If you need support, you have us.

You may feel like you're the lucky one that Pi Phi wanted you, but sweet angel, we're the lucky ones because you wanted us and we're so proud to call you our sisters. Welcome home, angels! We love you. PPL.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
