Bid Day and my jersey

Last week was sorority recruitment at UNC. I went back to the house this year to help out during House Tours and after preference party. It was great to see some of the girls I have advised over the last year or so and to meet a new chapter advisor. Thursday was Bid Day. I met Eve, one of the other advisors, at the house and we walked over to the Arboretum where the potential new members were opening their bids and running to their new sisters. Unlike Queens, they don't get run to their respective houses because they would need to shut down Franklin Street to prevent traffic accidents.

The theme this year was NASCAR: Feel the Rush of Life in Victory Lane. They had old tires out front, and inner tube tires hanging from the porch, and someone loaned them a very nice Mustang to park in the front yard. Anna, the president, even put on a full firesuit and helmet to celebrate! Kristen, their chef, made a fabulous dinner with pasta, fruit, and italian salads. The Clef Hangers, an all male a capella group, stopped by to serenade the ladies and their 49 new members! Rush is SO much different in a house this size compared to Queens, and Bid Day was a fabulous party. I miss so many of my Kappa Delta sisters.

I went to Charlotte for the weekend and to the Panthers stomping (it wasn't really much of a game after the first drive). It was miserable to watch Jake throw the ball away so many times, but the highlight of the day was going to the team store to buy a jersey. I have wanted a John Kasay jersey for YEARS! Its been on the wish list and finally, finally it is mine :)! And the other bonus -- realizing the Eagles were my defense for my fantasy football team -- oh the silver lining.
