Our Bid Night is usually on a Monday evening..... The sororities all gather outside the student union with our standards (big wooden letters on poles- not sure if everyone does these or not). We're all screaming and cheering and looking like a bunch of lunatics :O)
The PNMs gather inside in the ballroom (those who didn't get a bid are called beforehand). The Rho Chis reveal their affiliations and hand out the bids to the girls. They then gather then in groups by each house and the Rho Chi from each house leads them outside. It's not a suprise who we got (we find out about an hour beforehand who we got- we dispatch sisters to go do door decorations in the dorms of our new members), but it's crazy. We then go up to our suite for a whole bunch of junk food, and we all introduce ourselves and hang out a little. The new member educator meets with them briefly to go over schedules etc. and we give them all their presents :O)
