Bid Day in Tigertown: The Drinking Game BY: hashtagsrat Sorority recruitment at Clemson is an incredibly stressful time, not only for sisters and PNMs, but also for those not participating in the festivities. Our fraternity boys are forced to get drunk for a week straight without a slew of beautiful sorority girls accompanying them on the train to Bad Decision City, since those beautiful sorority girls are all tied up recruiting their new babies. With all of the girls stuck in recruitment and consequently stuck in a dry period, the men of Clemson have to make up for it by getting aggressively drunk and aggressively creepy on girls’ Bid Day. So, creepy boys of Clemson, this one’s for you. Take a drink… When sororities fight over who gets the center spot on Bowman: These girls do NOT mess around. When hair is pulled or a girl gets pushed to the ground, take a sip knowing that she’ll be looking for someone to validate her later that night. When a group of new girls runs down to your ex’s sorority: You’ll need to be hammered to forget how pissed she’ll be when you buck sensitivity and hook up with one of their new girls anyway. When an older sorority girl shoots you a nasty look for being there: Better yet, look her in the eye and drink. Power moves are always appreciated, especially when some stuck-up girl is trying to shame you for trying to welcome the new girls to Clemson Greek life in a positive environment. Sorry you’re romantic.
Every time you find yourself inappropriately attracted to girls that are basically still high schoolers: Do you have a little sister their age? Possibly. Do you really want to think about that now? No. So take a swig of whatever disgusting Everclear-Gatorade concoction you brought with you and try to focus on the burning feeling in your esophagus, not in your blushing cheeks. Every time you feel vaguely creepy for participating; shame is for the sober, right?: It’s a time-honored tradition, and frankly, after a long summer without all of the gorgeous Clemson girls you’ve come to know and have casual sex with, you deserve this. Don’t let the haters get you down. Every time a girl takes a tumble on her way down the hill: Let’s be honest—people really show up to Bid Day en masse to see the few unfortunate girls who careen down the hill onto Bowman as they run to their new home. Schadenfreude: it’s only human. Chug your drink... If there are visible tears: Logistically, there are bound to be a number of girls who didn’t get their top choice. Most girls handle it gracefully, but there are those few who just can’t hold it together as they mope towards their soon-to-be sisters. If there are girls who are too upset to even try and conceal their hurt feelings, pour one out for them…into your mouth. If you’re a senior or super-senior. They’re WAY too young for you, bro: If you’ve thrown away your fake for good, you need to go home. You

chair, a sign with your phone number on it, or a camera.
Take a shot... If you were camped out well before the event even started: You deserve immediate, serious liquor in your bloodstream if you demonstrate that much commitment to the festivities at hand. You’re dedicated to being really, really creepy, and we almost salute you for it. Take an additional shot for each of these accessories: a lawn
After two weeks of bro-flirting and Busch Light drinking without a girl in sight, you deserve to raise a glass to the end of your dry period. As you survey the new talent in Tigertown, drink to just how creepy you are and relax. Rush blowout and football are within striking distance, and like any good party, they need a solid pregame.
