Last summer I was a Gamma Chi (Greek Counselor) at the University of North Alabama. My "buddy" and I exchanged jerzees to do our reveal, but later changed our minds. The whole Recruitment team decided to put our respective sorority's Bid day tee on under the recruitment week tee, and reveal that way. After being tackled by my roommate, who I had not been able to talk to in a month (we couldn't talk to, or see our sisters after a certain date due to silence restrictions), and a whole buch of other sisters who were crying as much as I was, I was back. It felt so good that day!!!!
But the friends I made during my summer from other sororities are wonderful. That summer was full of memories and fun. We even all went on a teamwork building ropes course trip, and later came up with nicknames for everyone. We had shirts made with the Gamma Chi letters on the front, and our nickname on the back (like our own jersey, since we couldn't wear our letters all summer either!), and to this day, no one knows the meaning behind my nickname. That was part of the rules of last summer----what happens with the Gamma Chi's, stays with the Gamma Chi's. A wonderful experience!!!

i was a rho chi last year and what we did was after we walked the girls into the theatre and all the new girls sat with their houses we all ran up on stage in zipped up hoodies. one of us would come up to the front of the stage and everyone would scream out where they thought they were from and then they revealed their jerseys which was pretty cool. i remember when i did it so many of my rushee girls cried bc they thought i was a member of another org and i wasnt so hehe

When I went through they did a silly fashion show where they wore these horrible costumes...and then peeled off pieces and pieces from the costume to reveal their letters.
My senior year the Rho Chi's then, now Rho Gam's, had a candle lighting ceremony. Only the Rho Gam's, new members, and the Rho Gams big or little sister were there. They passed the candle and then the big or little of the Rho Gam came up and blew the candle out over their shoulder. Then obivously they got their respective chapters bid day shirt and then when the new members ran out to their new chapters the Rho Gams ran out with them!

We hold revealing in the courtyard in Greek Park where we have a little stage set up. All of the sororities cluster around the front of the stage, it's really crowded and hot in the FL sun! All of the Pi Chis are announced with their partners, in order of group number. Two of them go up on stage and the rest of the Pi Chis are in a line behind them singing a song. The Pi Chis are wearing the Recruitment shirts over their letters. The last line of the song cues them to take off the top shirt, and reveal their letters, then they go back and stand in line. After all the Pi Chis reveal, Exec goes, and then once everyone is revealed, the Pi Chis and Exec clump together by sorority and run to their chapters!
Sororities make signs for their Pi Chis and Exec, but they usually say stuff like "I want my big back," "I want my little sis back," "I want my roommate back," so they don't reveal the Pi Chis before they're supposed to!

At my university, all the bid day stuff starts at the soccer field... So the almost new members (they haven't opened their bids yet) are in the stands and the sororities are down in the field... Then the recruitment counselors come and stand in a line in the middle... They are wearing a good 5 to 6 layers... Each layer is a different sororities shirt... Then the music starts... They have way too much fun slowly taking off each shirt... Whenever a sorority sees there letters they start to cheer... Then they finally get down to the last shirt at the bottom and it is there chapter's bid day shirt... Also, all week the pms have been guessing what chapters the recruitment counselors are from...

Rho Chi Revealing
at my school (San Diego State University) when the rushees come to pick up there bids their Rho Chis are wearing lettered sweatshirts which makes the girls in her rush group think she belongs to a certain house...then to all the rushees surprise all the Rho Chis go up on stage...they ALL sing rush songs from the houses on campus and when a Rho Chis own sorority song is sung she takes of her "fake" sorority sweatshirt revealing her own sorority's bid day shirt...she then joins the girls from her house and her new pledges!!! It is really exciting and fun since all the girls from all the houses are cheering on the Rho Chis that belong to their particular house.

At Chico State on bid day, the rushees get into their rush groups and all the Chi Rho's stand is a line facing them wearing their "Chi Rho" shirts (you can tell they have something on underneath them). They all start singing one of the houses songs and the girls who belong to that house, take off their shirt and reveal their letters (that are underneath on their jearsey's). It's actually really cute and fun.

The Rho Chi's are revealed after all of the bids have been handed out. They are all wearing their sorority bid day shirts underneath their Rho Chi ones.
They come out one by one and strip off their outer shirt, revealing their bid day shirt. Then they run down to their sorority and are greeted with hugs, flowers, and balloons!

At my university, the Rho Gammas all stand in a line and sing a song that incorporates all of the houses, when the song gets to their house, the RG steps forward and takes off their recruitment shirt to reveal their chapter's bid day shirts.

At my school, after all the girls get their bids and are welcomed to their chapter they go to one of our auditoriums. Our Rho Gammas, recruitment counselors, are hiding off stage. Our Greek Advisor than says that they're reading to go back to their chapter. And all four NPC sororities start to do their chants louder than everyone else. The lights get turned off and a large piece of butcher paper comes out with someone hidden behind it. When the lights go on, it has the mascot and letters of one of the sororities. So then that sorority starts screaming and chanting louder. Usually there's a few girls who aren't from that chapter that pretend at first to get everyone more anxious and then finally the first rho gamma breaks through the paper and their chapter is already runnning towards them and mauls them. This happens for all 13 Rho Gammas and our people on our PHC board. Sometimes its 2 girls at a time from the same chapter and sometimes its just one. It's crazy and fun. And I always think someone is going to get hurt just cause its chaotic. But no one has and I love it.
