Question: What is bid day in a sorority?

Answer:

Bid Day in a sorority is a special event that marks the conclusion of the recruitment process. It’s the day when potential new members (often called PNMs) receive invitations, or “bids,” to join a sorority.

After several rounds of recruitment activities and interviews, each PNM finds out which sorority has extended an offer for membership.

The day is usually filled with excitement and celebration. New members often meet at a designated location, where they open their bid cards and learn which sorority they will be joining.

Once the bids are accepted, new members often participate in fun activities, such as running to their new sorority house, taking group photos, and meeting their new sisters.

Bid Day is an important tradition in Greek life, symbolizing the beginning of a member’s journey in their sorority.
