To say that bid day seriously changed my life sounds a bit dramatic, but it is the absolute truth. Bid day is the BEST day. It’s when all the wide-eyed nervous potential new members complete fall recruitment. The build up to bid day brings tons of butterflies and extremely anxious young women. These ladies are dying to run into the arms of their preference sorority and finally find a place they can call their home away from home. Boy, that half hour on the quad sure feels like 10 hour’s to receive the “ok” to open up your bid and run. These are the thoughts that run through new member’s heads on Bid Day from the beginning to end.
