Typically, girls get "goody bags" on bid day that have t-shirts, pins, notepads etc. Obviously when a woman receives a bid, she has a certain number of days/weeks to pay the NM fee - you don't bar the door to the house and say "OK, we gave you your bid - now cough up the money immediately!"
So if you want to get technical, no, the fees SHE pays didn't go towards the items she receives on bid day, unless you have a Greek store that has no problem extending you lots and lots of credit. Her presents from the sorority are paid for with money that is already in the sorority's account.
