Sororities celebrate bid day
What was all that commotion on Sunday you ask? Bid day.
After enduring two weekends of recruitment processes, the Pledge Classes of the 12 SU sororities were given their bids and sent home to celebrate. If you were lucky enough to witness this with your own eyes, you will have seen hoards of ladies running around campus home to their respective houses to celebrate with their new friends.
Rush season is now over, let dry season begin!
Cue the sweatpants and Netflix.
Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow
The Groundhog did not see his shadow, thus spring will come early this year.
This comes as no surprise since we have experienced grossly spring-like weather this week.

Alex Purdy was featured on the Today Show for her #SororityRevamp
SU Senior Alex Purdy spoke out against her experience in a house here at SU with her video that calls for a revamp of the sorority. Purdy’s words received mixed feedback.
The video went viral and landed Purdy on The Today Show for Thursday Morning where the hosts discussed Purdy’s video along with the negative connotations of sororities nationwide. Host Hoda Kotb ended the segment by flashing her sign and exclaiming “I was a TriDelt!”.
