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've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
