@UNT it gets nerve wracking, its so drawn out.
rho gammas call girls that dont get bids beforehand, but i believe this year every woman that went to pref events was extended a bid.
so we all had to get to the lyceum around 11am on bid day, which was a saturday, and we had to wait around for an hour talking nervously, and listening to the rho gammas sing all the chapters songs (saying "can you guess what we are now?")
luckily my rho gamma group was number one, because we went up on the stage in our groups. our rho gamma was behind stage, and she would call us back one by one and hand you your bid card, you open it and she would say "do you accept?" and then hand you a panhellenic ribbon and a ribbon with your GLOs colors.
then the sitting continued, and we learned a chant for our group. we then headed over to the super pit (basketball arena) and were given our shirts and got to know our pledge sisters, before each group of girls went out into the arena shouting their chant and ran to their sisters. they knew ahead of time who they got, because we got cute little pre-made name tags when we ran out. this wasn't until about 1-2pm, several hours after we first showed up!
oh, the rho gammas reaffiliated at a panhellenic-wide candle light ceremony later that night, but that was the first time they had done that, so I dont know how it was done before.
