We have a small greek community.. The PNMs pick up their bids around 5:30 on a friday, once all classes are done with.. Then they have to sit in the student center with their rho-chi group until everyone is there. They then open their bid, there rho-chi tells them where each sorority is on campus.. Usually, one is at their house, one is on the soccer field or track and one is on the academic quad.. So the PNMS go to where we are, and everyone sings and receives presents.. Then maybe an hour later all sororities come back to the student center and the rho-chi perform a skit and reveal who they are.. We are not allowed to throw bid day parties on campus or off ( last year 2 of us went to gatech(another college) for bid day, my sorority was outside and the one drove by on a scavenger hunt, so we caught each other, and we both ended up in trouble), anyways since we can't throw parties everyone does something different. We talk the new member down to Olympic Park in the middle of downtown atlanta and have fun. There are fountains to run through and a playground and so we all just have fun and then the new members spend that night with the sisters.. I know Tri-Sigma has a lock in that night for everyone.. In a way, the not having parties lets us all bond as new sisters, but a party would be nice.
