To every girl in a sorority, bid day is without a doubt the best day of the year. Whatever stress that you had about school is temporarily nonexistent because the moment you see the new members of your sisterhood you are instantly excited and filled with happiness. Here are a few things that I, along with many other members, have experienced on this special day.

1. Your feet hurt from wearing heels for a week straight.

But you couldn’t care less because it’s the best day of the year.

2. You have the perfect outfit to go with the theme.

And you’ve spent more time planning it out than doing homework this week.

3. Your throat hurts from chanting and happy screaming.

And it was definitely worth it.

4. The sun shines.

No matter what weather you may have had the week prior, the weather for bid day always turns out.

5. You play plenty of get-to-know-you games.

Because you just gained a whole new pledge class so why not.

6. You take plenty of insta-worthy pictures.

And you had your caption picked out days in advance.

7. Dancing.

And lots of it. Especially while getting ready with your roommate(s) and hanging decorations.

8. You can’t remember the last time you were that excited.

And you’re already counting down the days until the next bid day.
