Bid Day

[nauadpi]

At my school most of the bid day stuff starts around noon time...I am not sure if it is a little after or a little earlier...but mid day none the less. So the perspective members get their envelopes with their bids in them, and have to go to the bleachers of the soccer field and sit on them (I do mean literally sit on them). Well then up the hill from the soccer field is the all greek dorm. So as each sorority comes out the dorm they are in the bid day shirts, carrying bags and balloons and singing at the tops of their lungs. It really just comes down to who can get the loudest. Once we are down on the field, we sing some more and cheer. Then comes rho chi revealing. I know atleast last year, the rho chis were wearing layers upon layers of sorority shirts. The last one being their own sorority. So as a mix of songs are playing they take off a layer at a time. Well of course whenever a sorority sees their own letters they cheer even louder, even if it is actually a member of another sorority. So once all the rho chis are revealed, the persective members finally get to open their bids. The next thing you know they are running down to the field to join their sorority, where they get their bid day shirts, bags of other stuff and balloons. Well after singing some more, we head out and take group pictures (usually everyone, then by new member class). Well once all that is done, we head back up to the chapter room for food and games. Then finally if girls want to move into our hall in the all greek dorm, we move them in that afternoon. Then that night they go through our new member ceremony.


Sorry that got a little long, but bid day is so so much fun.
