Happy bid day!

-
Bid day is a great day for all sororities on campus. The day is full of excitement and welcoming new sisters into our home. Each year it seems as if the event keeps getting bigger and better creating a positive atmosphere to bring in new members. Sunday Feb 3 was Alpha Xi Deltas bid day and it was 90’s themed. A 90’s themed bid day gave the entire sisterhood a chance to let loose and bring out some old trends we have not seen in a while. Scrunchies were everywhere along with red lipstick and high top converse. For spring bid day we were lucky to invite five new girls to join our chapter and we have never been more excited.  Getting ready for bid day required hours of planning, decoration creating and putting glitter on absolutely everything including people.



People are always confused on what actually happens during bid day. I am here to share our exciting day with you all. Once the new member get to our house the sisterhood welcomes them all in with delicious food. This bid day we had a dip bar full of everything from buffalo chicken dip to spinach dip and it was all a hit. We then all had an assortment of candies from the 90’s such as bottle caps, sweet tarts and blow pops. For me the candy was the best part. I have a very large sweet tooth. Then begin the games, we play minute to win it games in teams. These games include trying to get oreos in our mouth from our forehead without hands, wrapping someone with toilet paper faster than the other teams and trying to knock over water bottles with a tennis ball in tights. Sounds odd right?


We finish up the day with a photoshoot with all of our new sisters to show them off all over social media. Sharing this experience with new girls each year is such a great way to show everyone how much pride and joy our sisterhood has for Alpha Xi.

Stuck at home for spring break

-
Spring break for college students is always an interesting time of the year. As students, we are as broke as a person can be, yet we still plan crazy expensive trips to Florida each spring break. I am very broke and also have very broke friends so each year I spend spring break in cold, dreary Ohio. Each year I make the most out of my spring breaks and choose to do fun, but inexpensive activities throughout the week. Here are my top 3 favorite things to do when stuck in Ohio. 1.  Axe throwing I know this sounds kind of dangerous. It is such a great experience and it 100% safe. I went to Class Axe in Cincinnati. It was about $32 dollars per person to go and you can have up to 12 people in your lanes. You learn fun little games that give you chances the throw the axes all the time. It gets your adrenaline pumping because you want to win the game for your team. I almost was my lanes ultimate champ, no big deal. You get to choose a fun ‘axe’ name instead of having a real name a

Learning to feed the content monster

Social media is a great tool and I’ve been using it ever since my mom let me get facebook when I was maybe 12 years old. Which now that I think about it is too young to be on the internet with a public profile. My facebook still has embarrassing photos of me from 7th grade I swear. In my social media principles class, we are reading a book by Guy Kawasaki called, The Art of Social Media . I’ve only read the first three chapters so far, but each page is beyond insightful. One of my favorite sections is about “feeding the content monster” which is exactly what blogging is like. Finding content, creating said content, and making it interesting enough that those viewing it don’t click away. That may seem easy but it really isn’t. The most useful tip in chapter two for me is the idea of creating an editorial calendar. This is essentially a map of what content to post when, where, why, and to whom. Kawasaki himself is not a huge fan of mapping content out in an editorial calendar bu

When will he jump the fence?

-
I have an earlier blog talking about the Bachelor’s social media and I am going to write another one. ABC is so smart in how they choose to market their audience. All Bachelor fans love the added drama to the season, plus a good tease. This season they tease Colton jumping over a fence and losing his mind. This happened in the very first in January. It is not March and they are just now saying it will be aired on this episode. People have been making joke Twitter accounts constantly tweeting if he’ll jump the fence. People are creating content focused around this 10 second clip in general. It is crazy how such a little thing was marketed so well. The fence fiasco is giving the show so much good publicity. Millions of people who know what the Bachelor actually is are tweeting, creating Facebook memes and event posting stuff on Instagram about the stupid fence. I am not usually one to get sucked into the madness but even I’m excited to see why Colton Underwood jumps the fence! I have
