If You Give A Girl A Bid Card

You're giving her a support system, a new house full of friends.

If You Give A Girl A Bid Card
Haley Britzky

If you give a girl a bid card, she'll take a selfie with it first — she's been dreaming of this moment, she's so excited that it hurts.

Then she'll find the nearest girl with a bid card just like hers, and scream “let's take a picture!" the first of many with sisters.

She'll then call up her mother, her grandma and her friends, and before your very eyes, the transition will begin.

Her T-shirts will be bigger, her contact list will be growing longer, and thanks to the girls she's now bonded with, her self-confidence a little stronger.

You see when you give a girl a bid card, you aren't giving her "an in." You're giving her a support system, a new house full of friends.

Sure, we're not all perfect, and things won't always go as planned. But you can rest assured that with that bid card comes 200 helping hands.

Encouragement, laughter and love are always there, not to mention theme-party costumes from a sister willing to share.

She'll work hard to help make her chapter the best that it can be, she'll hold herself to higher standards- she knows the letters on her T-shirt are the first thing people see.

As her first year comes to a close, she'll reflect on all she's gained. She'll be grateful for the crazy memories and the nights still unexplained.

She found girls that make her laugh, and girls that have her back, she found girls that never judge her when she rolls in with a Taco Bell Party Pack.

These relationships aren't cheap; she knows they'll last for years. They've celebrated her victories and been there to dry her tears.

When they gave that girl a bid card, they had no doubt in their minds that she would bring something special, because she is one-of-a-kind.

And that next summer, a year after she received her very own, she'll be ecstatic to give another girl a key to her new home.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
