More About Bid Day This year Bid Day at UA will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 13, 2016. Bid Day activities begin at Bryant-Denny Stadium with the official opening of the bids ceremony and continue along sorority row, as each sorority hosts a Bid Day lunch to welcome new members and their parents. Bid Day is the most exciting day of recruitment. You will, however, be sitting in the stadium waiting to open your bids around the hottest time of the day. While it may be a hot and hectic day, it’s a once in a lifetime experience that will start one of the most exciting adventures in college. Parents are encouraged to come to Bid Day to participate in the excitement, visit the sorority house for brunch and learn about the chapter. Since many parents travel to UA for Bid Day, it is important to know whether the chapter you end up joining will be leaving on Bid Day for a new member retreat.
What is a New Member Retreat? On or soon after Bid Day, sororities plan retreats so that their new member class has an opportunity to bond and get to know each other. On this retreat, 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.
