Carry-In
To start off at Um the OGL hands out bids. You go in and say your name and they either will or will not pull out a invite for you. You only find out what sorority you got into when you tear open the envelope. Thats how it use to be. Considering Bid Day seems to be on a Sunday this year, they might do it different.
but someone asked if we do anything special with or for the new members. At UM, not long after Bid Day but during that week, sororities and fraternities in tradition hold what is called a Carry-in. Its basicakky either the members of a fraternity carrying each new member of a sorority over the threshold of her house while the actives sing songs. vice versa with sorority members carrying the new members of a fraternity over the threshold of their house. its usually 2 guys carrying a girl, and about 3-4 girls carrying a guy. there is also Carry-Out, where the seniors aew carried obviously out of the house to their alum status. Pictures are taken and parties are thrown afterwards.
Anyone else do anything like this?
