Maybe it would be misspent energy, but it would still seem like it be nice to fake the envelope part even it there's no suspense on their part. I say this only so that they get as close to the same experience and enthusiasm as the other girls matched in bid matching.

I think snap bid girls may feel a little second class already, so it might be worth it to be able to let them have their moment.

The way your campus does bid day sounds pretty fun generally though!

Yeah...you'd think that a girl who was already upset about her bid [since she obviously didn't pick that sorority] would maybe have more of an open mind if she was treated just as lovingly as the rest. I think she'd be less likely to drop, too; I'm not sure I'd want to accept a snap bid if I knew that everyone would know I was dropped from everyone else.

Wow. Where I go to school, all snap bidding occurs aound the same time as bid matching. So the Rho Chi's still have tiem to get in touch with them and offer them the bid. If they accept, they still get to come to the student center, get a bid card, and participate in Bid Day festivities like every other girl.

I have to say that I loved the way we did ours. Women got the call early if there was no match. If there was a match, we went to the office of Greek Life during a specific time frame and we opened our bids in private-meaning in the office with the director. If we accepted we signed. Later that day there was a huge bids day where all of us met with our chapters at the student union and took pictures. It was in the same room that the first event took place in which really gave a sense of closure to the whole week.) It was a huge deal. We were presented with flowers and made to feel really special. All of Panhellenic did it together and it was great because you got to see all of the friends you met during rush. Greek Life also hired a professional photographer the put "GLO" Bid Day "Year" on a huge group photo that each new member got to keep. It is still one of my favorite memories.
