After dinner on bid day, the girls run from fraternity to fraternity singing their newly learned sorority songs to the new fraternity pledges; the pledges then sing back and give the girls roses. But...since most of the fraternity pledge classes are smaller than the sorority pledge classes, sometimes there are not enough roses to go around, so getting in the front of the pack will get you a rose at every house. They end up with HUGE bouquets of all different colors of roses.

I hope that's not chasing after a man with a rose. I never chase a man anywhere. He either brings the roses to me (preferably white!) or he sleeps on the couch.
