Congratuations to all of the new members at Oklahoma State! There are great chapters at OSU with beautiful houses. Yea for Nu chapter of KD-- bidding 52 new members is a great way to celebrate their 90th Birthday on campus.
JustInterested, how wonderful that one of your rec girls pledging KD. You will have to go to initiation this year... the house is wonderful if you have never been there.
Back in the day, Bid Day at Okla State was unique. We went by Rush groups to a building with an outdoor porch, then got in several lines to receive our bids individually (A-G) (H-K), etc.
Once we had a chance to scream (or cry) with our rush group and counsellor, we ran down a lawn, where all of the Stillwater taxis had been hired to ferry the pledges to their new homes. We piled into one, (or waited for the next one--never a very long wait, as they ran continuously). You might share the ride with a new Chi O, a couple of Kappas, a Zeta and an ADPi. We shouted out our new house and the taxi made the circuit to drop us off.
The members were pouring out the front doors of the houses anxiously waiting for each taxi, laughing and shouting as a taxi pulled up and one or more new pledges jumped out to race up the front walk. It was a unique and memorable way to begin Greek Life. Amazing how quickly they got everyone delivered. Of course, before seatbelt laws, we were sitting on each other's laps!
I don't know when that ended, but now they have a more typical "running of the girls", where all the NM open their bids, gather around a sign or letters, then run with some actives to the house.
Yea for the start of Recruitment Season!
