I believe that .bash_login, .bash_profile or .profile is the file
you're wanting to use in this instance.
man bash
{ snip }
When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is
started, bash reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if
that file exists. This may be inhibited by using the --norc
option. The --rcfile file option will force bash to read
and execute commands from file instead of ~/.bashrc.
{ snip }
If you're realling wanting .bashrc to be sourced on a login-shell, then
you'll either need to set BASH_ENV=3D$HOME/.bashrc, or source it from your
$HOME/.profile, or from /etc/profile.
