Well I was a Rho Chi my Junior year, and we did bid distribution the same way all four years I was in school, and still do it this way today.
Pref is held usually a Monday or Tuesday night-it ends at 10 and girls have until 12 to sign their pref cards. Then the next day, the girls come to the Union between usually 11:30 and 2 where all
the Rho Chis are set up around the room at tables. Panhel
allows one girl from each group to go in at one time, and there
the girls decide if they want to sign their bid or not. Even if you
didn't sign, though, most of the girls were convinced to at least go to bid day. If you didn't recieve a bid, you were notified early, early that morning. Luckily, I did not have this problem with any of my girls. Then, at 5 pm, everyone gathers at memorial chapel-the girls, the rho chis, panhel, and the pres, rush chair, and new member mom from each chapter. There is a breif ceremony where the PX's and panhel reveal themselves, and then the girls are dismissed by chapter, and everyone RUNS down the huge
hill under the chapel, across Rte 1 (which is a VERY busy road)-and down to the houses where they are met by the chanting,
screaming sisterhood. It is always really fun
