At the end of formal recruitment is Bid Day. This is where all the girls who are receiving bids find out what chapter they are going home to. (If a girl doesn't receive a bid for some reason, one of her Rho Chi's meet her somewhere private to let her know that she did not receive a bid.)
After all the girls open their bids, they get to meet the other new members of their chapter. We then walk to the Lakehouse on EMU's campus so the girls can reveal, one at a time, the chapter they are going home to. The chapters run to hug and greet their new members as they make their announcements.
After the new members make their announcements, the Rho Chi's and members of Panhellenic take their turns "going home." When we disaffiliate, we have to turn in a set of letters as a symbol of our being a part of the Gamma Rho Chi group. When we go home at the end of recruitment, we say our name and then hold up our letters as we say where we are going home to.
