What do your bids look like?

Yea, I see that jazing and I agree about the "bid =/= initiation" thing, but the reasoning behind it doesn't make sense to me.

That is like saying "My company doesn't do job interviews because we don't want candidates thinking that an interview guarantees employment."

We really don't know why jazing didn't receive a bid card.

But, if an analogy is necessary, it is more like "my company doesn't do post-interview calls or emails to say 'congrats on making it to the interview stage, expect notification of your status...' because we don't want candidates thinking our follow-up guarantees employment."

Actually it's like saying "I didn't take a bath before this date because I don't want him thinking he's going to get some just because I have clean lady parts."

LOL

Or like saying "I didn't brush my teeth because he may assume I want to kiss him."

This is a fun "it's like saying" game.

The bids we used when I got mine were about the size of a thank you note, on really good paper with a golden crest on the front. It read: "The Sisters of Alpha Iota Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi extend their bid to Honey, in the hopes that she will meet the requirements of being initiated into membership."

So it was clear from Day One that you didn't dare slack off and still get initiated!

Then, for a few years, the Panhellenic issued bid cards, with fill in the blanks - very tacky. Enough people must have complained because they're back to the ones our EO issues again (or, when last I asked).
