be prepared

Tomorrow is the big day! Congrats on making it this far. All the sweat and tears have brought you to the best day of the year: Bid Day. That being said, unfortunately everyone doesn't get their first choice. It happens and many get through it. Others, however, are those girls who are crying in their bid day photo. Don't be that girl. If you didn't suicide, you have guaranteed yourself a bid to one of your two pref houses. This means you agreed to accept a bid to whichever house gives you one. If you get your first choice, congrats! If you receive your shirt and it doesn't have the letters you expected, take a deep breath, buck up, and find the girls who extended their sisterhood to you (no matter the letters.) The system is tough, but it works. Go through bid day, try to meet girls in your pledge class. DON'T complain the chapter isn't for you after this one day. You don't truly get to know people until later. Give it a month, go to a function, put yourself out there and try. Actually try and don't go through the motions. You get out of it what you put into it. Congrats to everyone who has joined the Carolina Greek Community. You did it!
