My Bid Day seems to be similar to everyone elses. Our Pref night is on a Friday night and is not over until around 9 PM. All the PNM's go to one of our Administration Buildings and rank their choices (1st and 2nd--suiciding is not recommended, but some do anyway). The Bids are matched later that night, and if a PNM doesn't recieve a bid, her Rho Chi calls her between 1-3 AM. Saturday morning, Bid Day, all the girls who have received bids meet in front of the Greek Life Building and the Rho Chi's reveal which sorority they are a part of. Then each Rho Chi group is taken to a different area around the building, and each girl's name is called to recieve her bid--she can at that point say if she wants to accept it, decline it, or wait to talk to her Rho Chi after everyone else opens their bid. After we got our bids, we ran to the parking garage on campus where we got our Bid Day Shirts. At my university, we don't have houses (we have a sorority dorm where each floor houses a different sorority suite) so all the sorority members put banners and balloons outside of the dorm and open up the windows on their floor with signs for all the new girls. As we run with our new pledge class to the dorm, all our new sorority sisters cheer for us and do all of their chants and cheers on our way up to the suite. Also, the year that I went through, the Fraternities had the same bid day as we did, so all the fraternity guys and their new pledges stood outside of the dorm and asked us which sorority we had got and would cheer for that sorority as we ran through them. Once we made it up to the suite, we got all kinds of Alpha Gam goodies (cups, pencils, stickers, cameras...etc...) and then we started our bid day celebrations. Later on that night, our whole sorority went as a group to the Fraternity Bid Day parties and toured and hung out at all the houses on campus. The next day, we watched the video of Bid Day and us running up the stairs in the dorm and into our suite! My Bid Day was a very memorable experience, and it was so much fun!
