On Saturday, Aug. 28, almost 200 women ran across the Campus Green on Bid Day to join their new sorority sisters on the last day of a record-breaking fall recruitment week.
Alinea Esensoy, a former recruitment counselor and the president of the College Panhellenic Council of UAB tasked with facilitating much of the selection process, said a record 192 women accepted bids to join one of the five Panhellenic sororities on campus: Alpha Gamma Delta, Delta Gamma, Alpha Xi Delta, Alpha Omicron Pi and Sigma Kappa. The largest number of bids previously given out was 151, according to Assistant Director of fraternity and sorority life Kristen Bowen. -

It’s that time of the year when Dining Dollars and BlazerBucks do a special magic trick. Add a hint of Full Moon, a dash of the Den and a pinch of Einstein Bros. Bagels and POOF — your Dining Dollars and BlazerBucks have disappeared. For many returning UAB students, including myself, this magic trick is a tragic reality. However, we just can’t resist that You Pick Two at Panera Bread. This year, there are many ways to save your money, especially during Blazer Welcome. So, instead of spending all of your campus cash, take advantage of the free food and things being offered to you this week.
