Back in my day, the PNMs received their bids in the classrooms of the education college's building, in their PX Traveling Groups. Then, all of the PNMS filed into the gym in the education college's building-- the bleachers were outfitted with banners the PX's made that had the letters of each of the UCF sororities-- so all the new members sat by sorority. Then, the Pan Exec came out and made a speech, and it was time to reveal the affiliations of Pan Exec and Recruitment Exec... then the PX's ran out in their real letters! But wait.... the PX's had actually swapped letters as a fun joke
They ran outside and changed into their real letters and were introduced by name in order of sorority. Then, the PX's, now reaffiliated with their chapters led their new members home with a sprint to Greek Park, where each sorority was waiting on the lawn of the chapter house with fun signs in hand to welcome home the PX's and new members. After photos, gifts and a reception at the chapter house, everyone goes home to rest and change and then meet up again to go out to a fun place like Hard Rock Cafe, Disney Quest, House of Blues, CityWalk, etc. Tons of fun! The next day is the first day of school and all of the sororities wear their bid day shirts to classes.
