Eek sorry everyone, it's been a crazy couple of weeks, but finally...Bid Day!

On Bid Day, every PNM meets their Rho Chi group at a different spot on campus. Of course, those girls who didn't receive bids get a call from their Rho Chi beforehand. I didn't expect to get a call, to be quite honest. I felt like I would receive a bid from either Phish Food or Peanut Butter Cup--the question was, would it be the bid I wanted?

I, in fact, did not receive a call so I went to meet my Rho Chi group on the morning of Bid Day. This almost made me more nervous. I wanted Phish Food SO badly. Since the lack of a call meant I had definitely received a bid, I knew I had to prepare myself in case my bid card said Peanut Butter Cup.

The way my Rho Chis did it, each PNM in my group went into a room with them one at a time and they handed us an envelope with our bid in it. We then opened up our envelope, read our bid card, and then either celebrated with our Rho Chis or let them comfort us. I must admit, it is a very terrifying moment, especially since your Rho Chis know how you ranked your final sororities and thus can tell which bid you received just by your reaction.

I was the first of my Rho Chi group to enter the room, and I was so nervous, I can't even explain. I think one of my Rho Chis asked if I was ready, and then slid the envelope across the table to me. I opened it up, at first very confused. As a Greek virgin, I knew nothing about chapter names, and it just so happened that the bid card for my sorority had the chapter name first. To make things more confusing, the chapter name was the same as another sorority on my campus...one that I had not attended a Pref party at. However, I kept reading and soon found out that I was a sister of...










PHISH FOOD!!! , better known as...











ZETA TAU ALPHA!!!

When I get a chance, I'll post more about what I learned from rush, and my experiences after Recruitment as I think they could help many a PNM.
