I've heard the end of fraternity rush called Bid Day, but here we call it Bid Night.
Our IFC rush is 5-8 weeks, and things start getting hectic around the last week. Each night is a smoker for each fraternity, and many have their last meetings to compile their bid list before Bid Night (always on a Saturday).
Bid Night is traditonally a shirt & tie event
The day begins with brothers getting the party venue ready.l The rush chair goes down to school earlier to turn in the bid cards to the OGL before 3:00. Then all of the guys that went through rush sit in an auditorium. They read out your name, and you walk up to get your bid card(s). Then you make the long walk to fraternity hall, and walk into the suite that you want to pledge. There are brothers there to welcome you (lots of yelling), give you a tee shirt, and teach you our cheer. Fraternity Hall is loud before the run out with everyone trying to out-yell each other.
All of the fraternities and sorority women are in a big courtyard, and wait for each fraternity to run out with their new guys (lots of yelling and pictures). When the pictures are over, everyone goes to their parties. We usually send the guys to dinner to get to know their pledge brothers before the party
