University of Texas Recruitment August 21-28, 2012

I just really looked at the dates for UT recruitment and realized that bid day is a Tuesday. How do they do their bid day in the afternoon or evening?

Arrowlady, the girls meet at Hogg Auditorium at 5:00 and bids are given. The girls then go back to the thier respective houses as a group and meet thier new sisters. Most if not all of the chapters have special activites planned for the new members that night. Classes start the next day..Wednesday.

The year my daughter pledged, bid day started at 1:00...which meant a whole lot more time for shenanigans. There were some incidents (Im sure this wasnt the first year) so Panhellenic decided to make bid day later in the day and have a curfew of sorts for the new members. I did not hear of any incidents last year, however, Im sure I dont know it all..

My daughter will be a junior this year and has an 8:00 class...so she is happy to get to bed at a decent time.

Thanks for the info. I thought UT started on the 27th like other universities in the state. Now it makes sense to me!
I have 1 rec girl going thru at UT so was trying to make notes on when to start my FB stalking lol..
