6 Things About Bid Day, As Told By Cats

Bid Day is finally here! I am so excited to welcome new members and attack them with hugs. I joined last semester and remember how excited I was to see girls jumping up and down with excitement ready to welcome me home. This time I will be on the other side with those same girls. I can't wait to welcome new sisters and would like to explain that through cats.

1. Waiting for girls to pick up their bids.

I'm a very impatient person and hate waiting for things. I want to see the expression on every new sister's face right when she accepts her bid. So be on time ladies!

2. Wanting to see your rush crush.

When you go through recruitment as an active, you get to meet so many wonderful girls. It's hard not to fall in love with girls that are so passionate about joining a sisterhood. Sometimes, there's one girl that you absolutely adore so much that she becomes your rush crush.

3. Watching the new members run to the house.


I remember when I ran to my sorority house and was welcomed by girls who were jumping up and down, ready to attack me in endless hugs. I felt overjoyed to be a part of something so special. This time, I'll be the one doing the welcoming and I can't express how excited I am.

4. Embracing as many of them as you can.

When you put new members who are excited to join a sorority and active members who are ecstatic to get new sisters, you get hugs on HUGS. And photos, of course.

5. Falling in love with every new member.

Once the hugs start to slow down, girls spend time together and get to know one another. They bond over music, food, and Netflix shows. They immediately become sisters and begin to make memories together.

6. Remembering why you joined such an amazing house.

No matter what house you're in, Bid Day reminds you of when you first joined and made the best decision of your life.

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.

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.
