Bid Night is the night after Pref. NMs got their bids around 5, and the bid came with a note to meet at a certain place at 7. At 6:30, the Membership Chair would read out the bid list. This was nice, because sometimes new members would reject their bids, and we didn't necessarily hear about that; they just weren't on our list. After MC read the list, everyone volunteered who they wanted to pick up. Anyone picking up a NM (their "Beta Buddy") would run in a group to meet them and bring them back to the house, while the rest of the sorority would wait on the balcony with sparklers and sing and cheer to greet them.
The really nice thing about this is that all the other chapters would do the same thing (but meet in different places), so you got to watch the other pledge classes run to their houses, and everyone cheered for each other.
