Bid Day is finally here! I am so excited to welcome new members and attack them with hugs. I joined last semester and remember how excited I was to see girls jumping up and down with excitement ready to welcome me home. This time I will be on the other side with those same girls. I can't wait to welcome new sisters and would like to explain that through cats.
1. Waiting for girls to pick up their bids.
I'm a very impatient person and hate waiting for things. I want to see the expression on every new sister's face right when she accepts her bid. So be on time ladies!
2. Wanting to see your rush crush.
When you go through recruitment as an active, you get to meet so many wonderful girls. It's hard not to fall in love with girls that are so passionate about joining a sisterhood. Sometimes, there's one girl that you absolutely adore so much that she becomes your rush crush.
3. Watching the new members run to the house.
I remember when I ran to my sorority house and was welcomed by girls who were jumping up and down, ready to attack me in endless hugs. I felt overjoyed to be a part of something so special. This time, I'll be the one doing the welcoming and I can't express how excited I am.
4. Embracing as many of them as you can.
When you put new members who are excited to join a sorority and active members who are ecstatic to get new sisters, you get hugs on HUGS. And photos, of course.
5. Falling in love with every new member.
Once the hugs start to slow down, girls spend time together and get to know one another. They bond over music, food, and Netflix shows. They immediately become sisters and begin to make memories together.
6. Remembering why you joined such an amazing house.
No matter what house you're in, Bid Day reminds you of when you first joined and made the best decision of your life.
