History
To bind…
“College isn’t only about what we can do once we have our degree. It’s about waking up every day surrounded by people who want to see us strive, who want to see us be our best selves.”
To aid…
“[To Bind means] being in a community that fosters relationships that endure — that take your friendship, respect, and hard work — and return it twofold.”
To strive…
“We all have our individual challenges, but that doesn’t mean we have to struggle alone. To aid means not only lifting yourself up but also those around you to move forward together as a whole.”
