I posted these in the Bid Day pics thread too, but here are a few pictures of Eta Epsilon chapter's Spring 2011 new members!

38 New Members

"Greeting committee" with new members. JHU went to a new system of bid distribution this year and it seems to have worked really well. In the past, PNMs met individually with Panhellenic to receive their bids and had several hours to make a decision before deciding whether or not to attend bid night. While it allowed for plenty of consideration, a) it was nearly impossible to prevent PNMs from keeping strict silence with sorority members throughout the day and b) many PNMs psyched themselves out and declined their bids because of tent talk. This year they had all the PNMs open their bids at the same time and run to the chapters' greeting committees (which were a maximum of 20 sisters per chapter since it's not THAT big a room!), which were waiting around the edge of the room. As far as I know not too many PNMs declined and I'm sure it was a fun/crazy scene! Wish I could have been there!
