What do your bids look like?

[ValpoKD]

Bid cards have been different at each school I have worked at or attended...

1. Undergrad at Valpo - As a relic from the days of the local, the bids were identical for each sorority. An piece of printed on card stock with the bid actually being extended from the Panhellenic on behalf of the chapter. It was great for the reveal because there were no external differences. KDMafia knows what they look like today.

2. Regional State School in OH - No idea! I cannot remember what anyone ever told me.

3. Small Private School in OH - Designed by the chapters, but we had to watch what they added or else it would be totally obvious about the chapter. We put them in bigger envelopes to help. I think we had to ask for a fake flower to be removed from an envelope one year. Someone were beautiful and others were cute and crafty.

4. Large Public in the SE - Each chapter has their own. Most are the embossed, formal ones with crests, etc. Funny thing at the KD house...no one knew where the bid cards were on Pref Night. Oops! Because their was a spring class, we (the alums) thought the chapter had them. The chapter just printed them out on card stock last spring and did not know to order the fancy ones. It was a pretty comical hour as we figured this out. Everyone had bids the next day, and the nice ones are now ordered!
