Also, I will say this that all 9 houses probably spend over $10,000 just on Bid Day. We all give our new members great goodies, this year KD gave our monogramed Vera Bradley and Phi Mu I think did monogramed laundry holders and we did monogramed LL Bean type totes, anyway, there are great goodies, awesome food, games, and maybe a band or a DJ at the house (NO ALCOHOL AT ALL!!!). I know the Tri Delta's rent out the Double Decker bus to take their new members around on Bid Day, that bus is not cheap!
What we do might seem frivilous to some, but it is the way it is at Ole Miss. You can change the dates of recruitment but you cannot change the way recruitment is done!
