At my school, bid day is on a Sunday. All the PNMs have to wait in their room until 1pm (because your Rho Chi will call you before 1 if you didn't get a bid). If you didn't get a call, then you go to the University Center building at like 2pm, wait outside either the Greek Life room or the Student Orgs room, wherever your Rho Chi tells you to meet. Then you line up in your Rho Chi groups and wait for your Rho Chi to come get you. They bring you in the room one by one to a cubicle they have and give you your bid in an envelope, then you open it and get excited or whatever, and you sign a paper if you accept the bid.
You get to do whatever you want until 3:30 - when you go to Rho Chi revealing ceremony. After that's all done, its about 4pm, and you go walk to the spot on campus where your sorority is waiting for you (it tells you on your bid card). So you meet up with your sorority, change into your bid shirts, and take the group pictures. Then we do this thing where everyone piles into cars that are all decorated for your sorority and you drive up and down the main street on campus (my campus is REALLY small, so its basically a really big street with buildings on either side), honking and yelling out the windows and going nuts... you get to drive by all the other sororities who are still out there taking pictures and mingling. Then we all go do bid night activities until midnight that night... usually just sisterhood/bonding stuff - no boys or alcohol allowed on bid night... its really fun! Kind of hard to get up for classes the next day, but it's worth it!
I think its good that the girls dont have to meet up with the sorority right afer the bid, that way the ones who werent excited originally have time to get over it and talk to friends/relatives that get them pumped up, so they are excited when they meet up later
Hasta!
