At UF, recruitment is completely no-frills now. This year we were not allowed any decorations. We were only allowed flowers if it was part of your ceremony. I will say, I REALLY liked this new policy. We used to spend incredible amounts of money on flowers that were just thrown away after each round. Bid Day is another thing. The chapters really go all out. There are themes, DJs, big banners, and lots of food. The house lawns are decorated the way we used to decorate for homecoming. HUGE displays are out front for some houses. They are all filmed and some chapters use drones. The swag bags have gotten out of control. One chapter bought each new member very expensive, name-brand backpacks to put all their goodies in. I am guessing they spent in the area of $125 on each new member for the items given out. Add that to the cost of the event and it is a very expensive day.
