Bid Day Paradise

In a sea of white pants, shorts, flip flops, balloons, umbrellas in drinks and pale pink shirts, the Alpha and Beta classes of Eta Phi Kappa Delta anxiously anticipated their new (and third) class. Each sister held a paper flip flop with a new member’s name written on it to signify her place in Kappa Delta.

Eta Phi awaiting the new Gamma class

Our loud chanting was greeted by the eager (and probably scared) faces of the Gamma class who ran excitedly through the tunnel of girls to find the one holding her name. The room suddenly became much less organized but there was a reassuring buzz as you could see and feel how happy everyone was. There were pictures being taken left and right, teaching of the KD hand sign, hugs being exchanged, introductions being made and lots of eating. Almost immediately new members were being invited out for lunch and dinner dates, coffee and movie dates. The Betas were excited to no longer be the youngest and the Alphas were happy that Eta Phi was still flourishing.

The theme for Bid Day was welcoming the Gammas to paradise. And as cheesy as it may be, KD really is just that for its members. We all joined Kappa Delta because we wanted to be a part of something different and new and it still has that intrigue in its second year at BU. Eta Phi may be lacking the years, but that’s pretty much all it’s lacking. There’s certainly no shortage of sisterhood and the love and passion that each member feels for this chapter. It is our home and our paradise.

WELCOME HOME GAMMA CLASS!
