I loved my bid day and I'll never forget it! We went to 5 rounds and from day 1, I knew I wanted AOII more than ANYTHING! When I got my first list, I saw Gamma Phi had cut me and I was upset because they were my second choice and I thought we'd gotten along really well. So I went to the other 3 and got my 2nd list back and was fine that Alpha Phi had dropped me. I felt bad going back to XYZ each day because I didn't like it there at all and I tried to make it obvious without being rude, but they kept inviting me back. At pref was the first time I clicked with one girl, but I was just so excited for AOII's pref. I almost cried at AOII pref and was really excited for the next day. I made my list and almost suicided, but thought just in case...So Bid Day was at noon and everyone was in the auditorium and they hand us our bids and we have to sit on them while the AX's reveal themselves. It was so funny because they have every chapter's bid day shirt on and strip them off until they get to theirs. After that we can open our cards, and I was sitting next to my friend who wanted AOII too. We opened our envelopes and screamed when we saw we both were AOII and colapsed into hugs and laughs and tears. Then we run to our group and wait for like a half hour while we're taught songs to sing and everything. Finally they let us run out to the mall where each group is waiting and it was the best because I was one of the first out and I was runnig my butt off and to see everyone and they hugged the heck out of you and it was just wonderful! This year, I was disaffiliated because I'm a RA and I got to meet the new girls first and run out with them and I was first out again and cried my eyes out! I love our bid day! Whew, that was probably more than you wanted to read
