BID DAY!
tips and tricks: Bid Day is the last day of Recruitment. This is when you will receive a formal invitation to membership from a sorority. It is a very casual and exciting day that you will want your parents/guardians to be a part of. You will be able to notify your parents/guardians upon receiving a bid. Parents/guardians can also visit designated locations at 11 a.m. to find out from what sorority you have received a bid. We ask them to then proceed to the chapter house as soon as possible to await your arrival! Information regarding parking on bid day will be sent electronically to parents and posted on our website during recruitment week. After you have accepted your invitation of membership, you will be escorted to your chapter house by a few members of your new sorority. Each chapter has planned a reception to receive all of their new members. The reception will begin as soon as you and the other new members arrive at the chapter house, between 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. There will be pictures taken, parent/guardian meetings, new member meetings and activities to foster new friendships. At the parent/guardian meeting, your parents/guardians will learn specific financial information and ways to get involved, as well as requirements, dates and deadlines for you as a New Member. You should expect to participate in Bid Day activities with your family until around 5 PM.
