Top Ten Reasons Why Bid Day Is The Best Day
Renee Sherman-Gauthier

Knowing that recruitment and bid day season is in the air I decided it was the most appropriate topic to discuss seeing as how I'm still on cloud 9 after experiencing my first bid day as an active member in my sorority. Whether you're a new member or an active member there is no better feeling than this day. Bid day really is the BEST day and here's why:

1. The Various Themes.

Better plan what you'll wear, how you'll decorate yourself, do your hair and the artsy pics you'll take months in advance.

2. The Outfits.

Who doesn't love new t-shirts, dressing silly and GLITTER.

3. Billions of Pictures.

Knowing days before that you have to go through your camera roll and delete all the pointless screenshots and pictures of food in there because you know that you'll have approximately 3,000 new pictures by the end of bid day.

Which leads to....

4. The Perfect Instagram.

Because that's what's really important, right?

5. Picture Props

Props are fun and cute.

6. The Endless Memories.

Each year bid day brings new memories that you will never forget, whether it's running home to an unfamiliar group of people who you already feel such a special bond to, meeting a bunch of wonderful new people or jumping up and down with joy as you see the faces of your new sisters. No matter what bid day is unforgettable.

7. Welcoming Home Your Best Friends.

Rushing your freshman year isn't for everyone, so when my roommate and best friend decided to go out for recruitment her sophomore year I couldn't have been happier when she found her home within my sorority. My best friend was now my sister too.

8. Getting a Mentee.

Getting assigned a beautiful new member to welcome into your sorority is such an amazing feeling knowing that you can be there to help her through such a new stage within her life.

9. Running Home to Your New Sisters.

After probably the most stressful period of your life, you're finally comforted by running home to your new family where you belong.

10. The Beautiful New Sisters You Gain.

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.
