This past weekend was filled with SO many emotions. When I tell you guys I have never experienced anything quite like Arkansas Bid Day… I mean it. Thousands of families and friends were gathered, anxiously waiting to see their girls come running home. The excitement, the adrenaline, the screaming, the happy tears… You could literally FEEL the energy everywhere. 🥹Watching Chloe run home to Alpha Phi was one of those moments I know I’ll remember forever. After such an emotional week of recruitment, seeing the excitement and happiness on her face when she found out where she belonged made this mama’s heart so incredibly full.

Here’s a little recap of a weekend we’ll never forget. So incredibly proud of you, Chloe. Here’s to new friendships, sisterhood, unforgettable memories, and four amazing years ahead.
