Thanks.

Too bad they didn't fully get the Alpha Gam magazine name...The Quarterly.

Here's a question -

Quite a few of the groups have white dresses on. I'm assuming the New Member pinning is on Bid Night? How do these PNMs know to wear the white? Obviously ADPi had white, but I know Chi O does not require it. If you preffed both, how do you know what to wear? Or do they let you go home and change?

I was thinking the same thing...maybe those were members waiting for the new recruits!

I loved the THEMES for bid day!! We didn't do that...we just made welcome posters, etc., but that is so very cool!!

And the pictures of all the chapters!! Wow...what beautiful homes...both the sororities and the fraternity houses!!

My daughter is in a sorority at UGA. When the new members get their bids in the afternoon, the envelope contains instructions for what to wear and what time to be at the sorority house a few hours later. I went over to UGA a couple of years ago for what we called Squeal Day at Alabama, and the new members were the only ones in the student center to receive their bid invitations--except for a few random moms and grandmothers who had obviously pledged at another school!

So you don't get to go right to your new house?!? Ugh, I would hate that. After all the stress of the week it seems a bit anti-climactic. Though, I guess if you hated your bid, you'd have time to compose yourself.

Intersting about the Chi Os in white as it is not required for our New Member pinning - unless things have changed, but I don't think so. Maybe just a tradition at that chapter.

The instructions probably just tell everyone to wear white since the majority of the sororities do and saying "except Chi O" might make people think "hmm, why don't they do what everyone else does?"

kathy, i believe the bid cards say to wear a white dress (or other instructions). there is a period of time in between when bids are handed out and the bid day activities start at the houses so they have time to get what they need. i have another chi o pic that i didn't post and their new girls are also in white.
