Boys Bid Day, the day most women throw on their favorite Lilly dress and attempt to drink from 8 am to midnight, taking a frat nap in between. We all look longing at their recruitment wondering why they get low country boils and we have open house. Why they get to hang out and we get to spray each other with hairspray in order to look perfect for new members. Nevertheless, it’s like another Christmas for us girls, as we watch the boys run up the hill as we did a week ago. Here’s what to expect during Boys Bid Day.
Expect to see men taking their pants off for pictures
For some reason in the excitement and hype of getting new pledges, they will drop their pants for pics showing hand painted boxers. Don't be alarmed. Boys will be boys of course.
Instead of bid day bags they get cigars and massive hangovers
The smell of boys bid day can be summed up in the manner of cigar smoke and liquor. All down Greek row you take in the scent of debauchery as you sip your mimosa and pretend to eat a muffin knowing the calories will go straight to your ass if you actually eat said muffin.
FRAT NAP
After day drinking for hours, watching boys run up the hill screaming, and eating lunch; one must take a frat nap. It sobers you up for your next round of drinks and dinner. If you're going to make it to midnight, the frat nap is your friend.
Muffins and Mimosas for the ladies
Boys bid day would not be complete without women dressed up in heels and dresses waiting in anticipation to see what fraternity got the hottest pledges. And while we stand around and look pretty, we are stuffed with mimosas and muffins.
Unfiltered and R rated excitement
You will see men falling, broken doors, broken benches and God knows what else during boys bid day. It's all apart of the 24hr drink-fest that is going on. Just take it in and absorb the crazy chaos that is going on around you. After all, it only comes once a year.
Chanting
It's like our adorable sorority chants but less coherent due to the drunk men attempting to chant them. If you can make out what they are saying, congrats.
All the liquor
Think of what the prohibition area looked like with all the booze in one big hiding place. That is basically the amount of liquor supplied for this joyous holiday. The roaring 20's is alive and well on Greek row.
And as I settle back into my bed, I think about those who will be ridiculously hungover and thankful that the blaring music on Greek row is no longer blasting through my bedroom.
