The recruitment process is a long two weeks where potential new members are anxiously and eagerly awaiting to find their new homes. No one can predict where they will end up and what the future holds for them. Bid day is a day like no other, and it is certainly a day that should forever be cherished. Here are some things that you can expect on bid day:

- You will receive a bid from one of your top two choices (do NOT suicide rush!)

- After sitting on your envelope for what seems like eternity, you will finally open it to find out your new home

- Everyone around you will have mixed emotions, ranging from tears, laughter, to lots of hugs

- You will find your new chapter and put on a really cool t-shirt that is unique to each sorority

- Pledges will ride on a bus that will take them to their new home

From this point on, bid day will be different in every chapter. When pulling up to the houses, all of your new sisters will be outside waiting to give you hugs and welcome you to your new home. After that, activities will take place for the rest of the day ranging from ice breakers to eating lots of snacks.

For those of you who have gone through this process, bid day is an unforgettable day that will always hold a special place in your heart. To those who are unsure if rushing is the right choice for you, bid day will solidify that you made the right choice. Today is the day that you will find your place, where you can feel comfortable and at home.

I know that I had lots of fun dancing and bonding with my new sisters. This will be the start of many lifelong friendships, endless pictures, and many memories. I encourage you all to go greek, you will be surprised at what you find.
