I heard someone suggest in our chapter meeting "Why be Royalty, When you can be a Queen?" I think that is a really cute idea for a bid-day t-shirt.

Hey kracciato, for our Spring recruitment, we used the phrase "It's not easy being a Princess, but now we're one step closter" We also had a shirt that said "From the outside looking in, you could never understand it. From in the inside looking out, you could never explain it." That one seemed to be very effective. Hope they help!!!

I Love our chapter's shirts! There is a small crown on the front and it says Zeta Tau Alpha also I believe. The back is really great! There are a bunch of Dr. Suess creatures on it and it says "One Friend, Two Friends, Old Friends, New Friends Zeta Tau Alpha Spring Rush 2001" I can't wait till Sunday when we give them out to our new girls!

I just loved our bid-day shirts for spring rush...They are kinda risky but it worked http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif
They were long-sleeved and very cute.On the front, it read "Central Michigan Zeta" and on the back it read, "Need We Say More." I couldn't have felt more proud that day!!!

this reply is a little late but Rush is still on, we bought these iron on letters (they are embroidered, look great and work really easily) and made our own lettered sweatshirts for the big sisters to give to their little sisters at the end of rush. We got the letters and sweats at www.mygreekletters.com and it was much less than at other greek stores.

There was one I saw that another chapter had at SC Zeta Day (that I think we're copying for our next bid day!). "It's not about what you've just become. It's about what you've always been." Also, Clemson (Kappa Zeta chapter) had "Zeta Tau Alpha...Keeping America beautiful."

Bid Day
 

Hey Ladies!
A question was brought up in our chapter meeting tonight asking us to think of ideas for Fall Rush Bid Day T-shirts. Does anyone have any good ideas? Also, during Greek Week we put on a show called Airband with all other Greek organizations. We lip sing and dance but we must have a theme. Some examples of old themes are "A night at the Movies", "Grease", "Girls with Attitude", etc... Can you think of any themes we would be able to use? We came in 3rd this past year but next year we want to make it first!
I can't wait to hear your ideas!
:D

My favorite bid day shirt that we had was from just this past year. It said, "Ever why we're so happy? Just think about why you're not." :D

At my school we have an event called SING. Its were any student org. (usually the Greeks) put on like a variety show. They compete against each other. We partnered up with the Zetas did a time period show with songs like Buggie Woggie Buggle Boy, Jail House Rock, Lets Hear it for the Boys, and ANy Man of Mine. It was awsome. Unfortunetly we came in second. But it was good considering that was 2 out 6. So mabey you could use those songs.

My bid-day t-shirt from fall 2001 had this on the back:

She is more than parties and social activities...she is a way of life. She is someone to share special things with, to laugh with, and to cry with. She is someone to believe in and to trust. She is a

(we had a western theme & there were pictures of a cowgirl hat & crown)

My bid day shirt was long sleeve and light blue. It had butterflies on the front and on the back. The front had ZTA bid day 2002 and on the back it said come to "where the skies are bluer and the friendships are truer". Zlam-UDZETA ;)

Hey Hun, I dont have any ideas for your Bid Day shirt, but I was wondering if you could let me know where the Greek Shop is in Charlotte? I will see what I can find for you1;)

We always had really cute rush shirts for bid day

when I was a freshman we had shirts that had the quote "Rush made us sisters; Love made us friends" I still have that one

Sophomore: Pooh Bear and friends with "Only the best are crowned"

Junior : We Had blue shirts with white letters and under neath they had "Bid Day '98" Stitched in

Senior: We Had shirts that said something to the effect of Why had the attitude with out the letters to back them up!

A nother note for you from my sophore year on the active all had either blue or white shirts and the new members got grey. For a little extra touch

I am a new sister, and my bid day shirt for last semester was Princess for a Day.

Our chapter just got some REALLY cute sweatshirts with Zeta Tau Alpha on the front, and on the back it has the smucker's strawberry jelly label, and underneath that it says "With a name like Zeta, it's got to be good!"~I love that sweatshirt, I think its so cute!

Our 25th Anniversary shirt said...Zeta Tau Alpha....keeping UNF beautiful since 1977....25 years of Royalty....just another cute idea.

Our bid day shirt was long sleeve with butterflies on it. The front said ZTA bid day 2002 and on the back it said come to where the skies are bluer and the friendships are truer! :D

Bid Day t-shirt sayings
 

Hey, I'm from the Kappa Eta chapter at Rockhurst University. We have spring rush, and I need some cute sayings for our bid day tees!!

Thanks,
Jessica

Just ideas that I have seen, not sure how I like some of them but they are ideas

"Rush (recruitment) made us sisters, Love made us friends"

"If your going to be greek, you might as well be a goddess"

"Queen for a Day; Crowned for Life"

"Some may have the attitude, but few have the Letters to back it up; ZTA Bid Day 2002"

When I was a Junior our shirts were just like regular Block letter shirts and had "Bid Day 1998" stiched under the letters in Silver. The Shirts were blue and the letters white (The new members shirts were grey the letters were white and the stiching was blue)

Also do a search in this forum and the Rush forum for other ideas. This has been discussed a lot over the years!

The shirt I got this year said:
ZETA
A few good women and Zeta got 'em all

I saw this at Greek 101 and I just loved it:

Jealousy is a sickness. Get well soon.

And then somewhere else on the shirt you could have Bid Day or something else. Very funny.

This is a favorite of mine...

Any one can wear letters, but only Zetas can wear a Crown!


Good luck with Recruitment!!!

Here are some that I have seen around my campus for diffrent Bid Day shirts:

Do you ever wake up and wonder if you joined the right sorority? We don't!

It's not easy being a princess but we make it look good.

Star light, Star bright I got the wish I wished last night.
Zeta Tau Alpha Bid Day 2002

Zeta Tau Alpha
"Only the best get crowned"

Zeta... it isn't for everybody but that is the beauty of it.

This is the place, These are the Days, These are the girls, This is the time of your life.
Zeta Tau Alpha Bid Day 2002

We had a mardi gras theme for bid day this year. We wore blue and silver beads and made a float for the new members to ride to the lodge on. Our shirts had ZTA on the front and the back had a mosaic of a crown and said "Unmasking the future of Zeta Tau Alpha, Bid Day 2002!" I think that bid day shirt is my favorite Zeta shirt yet! I love it!

our new girls got the cutest pink shirts that said on the back
"On this perfect day, I became a ZTA"

Ours were cute. They said "Pledge your Loyalty to Royalty!"

I just saw some cute ideas at Zeta Day last Saturday...

Front: ZTA & Co.
Back: Introducing Our Newest Collection, Spring 2003 Bid Day ~ WiIth a Tiffany Box (of course it had the turqouise colors like Tiffany boxes!)

ZTA and the City (written in hot pink on a black t-shirt)

But I think this had to be my favorite!!!
Front: Zeta Tau Alpha ~ on puppet strings (like the Godfather movie title)
Back: "They made me do it!" Bid Day....


Unfortunately, I missed out on the chance on buying any of them since I had to set up. :(

Here are some of my favorite Bid Day/Recruitment shirts:

"Some girls come to college to find their husbands...We came to find our bridesmaids."

"Sometimes its worth the wait, but sometimes its worth the rush"

"Royalty never looked so good"

Thought ZETA, Thought Right.

To be or not to be...there was never any question!

Our recruitment shirts this year have a large texas flag on the back and say: "Founded in Virgina, Perfected in Texas"

Another cute one we had made for our guy friends during recruitment one year had a picture of marilyn monroe from the movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and it said "Gentlemen prefer Zetas. " the guys loved wearing it!

let me know if you like any of these!

Hey there everyone, I'm new to this site but think it's absolutely great so far!!! I wanted to post Epsilon's bid day t-shirt design on here, and hopefully inspire a few of you. Please give me your honest opinions!!:D

Idea #1 The members will wear kelly green shirts and the new members will be wearing lime green ones. They say: Nothing runs like a Zeta.....ON BID DAY!!!! This saying is on a john deer tractor sign with a girl running. The colors are green and yellow.

Hope you like it!! Always need good ideas. Let me know what you think.

Zeta Love, Brittny:p

Ok so yeah one of the cute ones from the fall was a bright pink color which I love cause pink is the best and it had like peace sgns and flowers on it and it said peace love and sisterhood and had ZTA in the block above sisterhood it was too cute. It has to be my favorite shirt that Ive seen on our campus so far!

hey
 

a cool shirt could be ZTA letters on the front in like "brick/rock style" writing, and on the back say "Cocky Slogans mean nothing unless you have the letters to back them up!" with ZTA rush 2003 on it.

Our Bid Day shirts were pink with flowers on the back. Around the flowers it said,"There are two types of girls, ZTA's and those who wish they were!!!"

Hope this helps!!!

*BUMP*

So, what were some of the themes of this year's shirts?

I don't know if this helps anyone, but we did a cartoon theme Airband. We had some sisters dress like cartoon charachters and then we got one of the CD's that have different cartoon themes on it. It worked really well and we won 1st place that year. Go ZTA!!!!!!

I'm a new member and I loved our bid day shirt! It had the "E" exclamation point symbol (from the cable channel E) only it was a "Z". On the back it said "You think you know, but you have no idea... THE FABULOUS LIFE OF A ZETA TAU ALPHA" and then Bid Day Fall 2004. The shirt was black and the lettering was red and white. They were by far the best bid day shirts this year!

I think for Fall 2005 we are going to use the whole las vegas welcome to fabulous sign idea, with Zeta Tau Alpha instead of Las Vegas of course. On the back are thinking about putting "the best just got better"

we've had a few of awesome shirts in our chapter, the theme for spring 05 was designer. it was a turquise/teal shirt, on the front right corner was a crown with 'zeta couture' below it. 'made in the glorious usa';
on the back it said, 'introducing our new spring line' zeta tau alpha bid day 2005'

last fall, our theme was luck, so we used a green hunter shirt with zeta tau alpha in white capital letters on the front; on the back we had the clover with '1898, bid day 04...' 'feeling lucky.'

another cool shirt was the 'Tiffanys' theme 'zeta and co.' with a ribbon accross the front; with 'only the best for the best' that bid day was awesome, the cake was a turquoise box with pearls, the gift bags of course were turquoise boxes. : )

i believe the theme for fall 05 is 'fantasy'... can't wait!

p.s. personally, i like the 'being the best isn't everything, but around here it's tradition' theme, also the ' all mean we're created equal... until 1898!'

Hope this helps ladies.

my senior year we had
"Anyone can waer letters, but only the chosen wear the crown"

another idea we had but never used was
"Never question royalty"

Others we have had since I graduated that I think were cute

"When we're good, we're very, very good, but when we're bad, we're better"

We also had one that followed the Christian Dior campaign "J'adore Dior", except ours said "J'adore Zeta"
