At the University of Kentucky, Bid Day starts with girls who didn't get a bid receiving phone calls from their Gamma Chi (we called them Rho Chi back in my day!
) so they would know not to come to the afternoon's activities.
All the girls are gathered in one large hall wearing their white dresses, bids are passed out, & the Gamma Chi's do a skit to reveal who is from which organization. Before rushing off to the house the girls are shuffled into classrooms to meet their new member educator & sign their bid cards. If you are unhappy with the organization you were accepted to, this is the time to bow out & find your Gamma Chi for support.
After the bid cards are signed, you learn some cheers/chants/songs & then sing them as you walk to your new home. The Actives for each house are usually waiting outside with balloons, flowers, t-shirts, etc. The Actives usually have some kind of activity planned for the rest of the evening.
