Retreats

After Bid Day, sororities plan opportunities so that their new member class can bond and get to know each other Here, the new members are able to meet their new sisters, learn about their sorority, and celebrate finding their home away from home for the next four years.

Rest Up

Bid Day is a very exciting and long day. Make sure to get a good night’s sleep, as you will have the opportunity to meet the rest of your new member class & chapter leadership.

What To Wear

Wear a loose fitting/cooling top, shorts, and comfortable shoes with backs. After you get your bid, you will have an opportunity to go to your new home. There, you will receive a jersey with your new sorority letters to put over your tank top

REMINDER!

Bid Day is crazy, hectic, and hot! Make sure you drink tons of water to stay hydrated! You are encouraged to bring a disposable water bottle with you. Don’t worry, many chapters will serve snacks when you get to the house.
