We have everyone gather at the steps on Bid Day, which is a Monday afternoon. If a girl has been dropped from recruitment or offered a snap bid she has been called the night before or early in the morning. Snap bids can show up, but they don't run.
They all sit on the steps and are handed closed envelopes containing their bids. The recruitment team has a reveal, in threes. Then the Greek advisor will usually stall one or two more minutes to build anticipation and also to let the gamma rho's get their hugs in and get ready with the chapters for their new girls. Then at her signal they open their envelopes and run to their new chapter.
Most of the time even if a girl doesn't get her first choice she isn't devastated by her second. Sometimes she is, though...every year there's always that girl that doesn't run.
Most girls do get bids, especially with snap bidding. The chapters take their girls to their halls and then to their bid day parties. It's fun, but I can't imagine not knowing...because I had "suicided" I wasn't nervous. I think I really would have been if I didn't know what was in that envelope.
