Since women move into the chapter facility on Bid Day at Idaho, they don't sign housing contracts. However, women who do not accept or receive bids are found a place to live on campus as all freshmen are required to live on campus, which includes Greek housing. All of the women's facilities (except Delta Zeta as they are living in a dorm while their house is being built) have sleeping porches.

I think there are more sightings of Sasquatch or a Boise State graduate than there are white dresses for sale. tngirl01, you are wise to bring a white dress with you as finding appropriate white dresses in the Pacific Northwest is often difficult between Memorial and Labor Day. At least you'll be in Seattle where there is shopping if what you have doesn't fit the chapter requirements. It also may not be a bad idea to have comfortable white shoes as well.

Oh, and don't forget to pack or procure rain gear, even for recruitment. In 2010 it was raining and averaging 90% humidity, and in 2011 day one was 80 degrees and bid day was 60 and it was raining. In general you may feel colder since the humidity is constant due to weather patterns and being on Puget Sound. Also, you may be able to drive in winter weather, but trust me on this, just don't do it in Seattle. There will be freeze, thaw, repeat, and black ice on hills, and in some low lying areas, flooding.

Sorry, that's just needs to be repeated. Winter driving in the PNW sucks.

Also umbrella. I forgot to bring mine to recruitment and looked like a drowned rat the first day.

Buy both a black dress and a white dress. Both should be JUST black or white - no colored trim, no cutouts, covering the shoulders, no strapless or spaghetti strap, not too short or tight. If you are the superstitious sort, leave the tags on them until you need them.
