Celebrating black history
BY JOAN KHALAF
The Shorthorn senior staff
Alaina Cardwell said she couldn’t
hear herself speak Saturday.
The undeclared freshman’s new
AlphaChiOmegasororitysisterschanted, screamed and jumped at the bottom
ofthecenterbridge,waitingforCardwell
to join them.
High-pitched yells echoed
off the walls as a sea of students in red
waved signs cheering on new members.
W h e n
it was
her turn,
Cardwell
ran toward her
future.
She’s been waiting several months
for this day.
Cardwell was one of 68 students
to declare which Panhellenic Council
sorority they were pledging Saturday
at Bid Day.
Potential sorority members
went to Preference Night on Friday
and filled out a form with up to two
sororities they would accept bids from.
Sororities then give bids, or invitations
to join a Greek organization, the next
morning.
