I was sooo scared (since I was a senior with a year to go) that I wouldn't get a bid. I had talked with my Rho Chi's about it (I was already friends with one of them from my first year) and they said that unfortunately that may be true since sororities were looking for younger girls who would be around for awhile.
We were told after signing our bid cards that it would be within 2 hours so we had to go straight to our rooms. We were told that the people who didn't get bids would get a visit from our Rho Chi's first so they could leave the dorms or whatever when everybody started cheering and stuff. So I was lying on my couch shaking when my PX's came in - not an hour after signing my bid card. They said in a sweet calm voice "can we come in?" I knew for sure I was out. Then they started screaming and handed me the AXO envelope. I was SO EXCITED! Then we all met up on the hall and the sisters were singing and stuff when we were allowed in. It was so cool, but I like bid day MUCH better at the chapter I advise now. They do bid matching on Sat. night after pref and then on Sunday all the sororities meet at 2pm in our student union auditorium. We start singing and cheering our individual group stuff until the Rho Chi groups are led in. Then we start singing greek unity songs and cheering and stuff. Then each Rho Chi group is led up one at a time, the girl's name is called and then they say her new chapter. After they go through the line, they say "GO TO YOUR SORORITY"! It's so way cool since the sister's have no idea until that point who is going where. I've heard this was the last year though, since those that don't make quota (usually only the smallest chapter on campus) feel bad...one year this group only had like 4 girls when quota was around 20ish. Starting next year I think the new girls are going to a room with the alums and then led down to the chapter room one by one to be introduced to the chapter.
