Welcome home!

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.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
