Are there any details (such as time, etc.) about bid day?

bamadzmom · #2 09-04-2008, 06:47 PM

That is also what I was wondering---at what time willbids go out?

Alabama now has a greek newsletter that they send to both greek members at the school but also to their parents. Here is a link to it. www.greeklife.ua.edu/Scroll11.html
The newsletter says that Bid Day is at 5:00pm and that they are hoping to bid 200 girls. That is so exciting!!

Generally speaking, at a colonization the idea is to take average campus size. So, say total is 180, but most groups run around 250 or even 265...then they'll shoot for around, say, 260.
There are bound to be some women who wind up turning down their bids...some who don't actually accept the bid immediately...some who accept the bid and drop after a couple of weeks...with that number, there are always some variations. I believe the women will probably be given a deadline by which to accept or decline a bid. They may even pick up a few more after Friday, to get to average chapter size.
That's just generally the case...YMMV.

so, I guess i can post now!! Tonight was pref night and at the end of our party, they all told us that they were extending bids to all of the girls there (roughly 100)!!! We got the actually paper and tomorrow they are doing the whole thing at the stadium. I am so thankful that this turned out so great and i can't wait to start everything!!!!!!!!!!

YAY! Also, what a relief to the girls at Pref that they did not have to go home and wait to receive a bid or call. Very classy on Alpha Phi's part to handle it that way, in my opinion!

Fabulous news, both for you and especially for Alpha Phi!

I agree. I was talking with the girls at my table and how we were going to be nervous all day waiting for bid day (which is at 5 ish). all the girls screamed/cried when they told us. it was a great moment

Congratulations Bamagirl!! I am SO incredibly excited for you as you start your journey as an Alpha Phi!!!

I can imagine it must have been an amazing chill bump moment when they announced that all the ladies at preference would be invited to join.

Congratulations again, and keep us posted on Bid Day/new member period/pledge class news!

ETA: ...and yayyyy for the Triad being at Bama now!!
