2023 RECRUITMENT RECAP
“My birthday was on Bid Day this year, and at dinner, they had me stand up, and they all sang Happy Birthday to me. It made me feel more loved than ever before. Every time we are all in a room together, like in new member or chapter meetings, it feels like Bid Day all over again. We all build each other up, have so much fun together, and are quick to encourage and affirm our sisters.”
— Lauren Hudson
“Every round there is always the one that is checking your boxes. That is the house that feels like home. That is what you have been searching for all along! A home with the sweetest girls you can call sisters!”
— Ava Russell
“Through recruitment, I was able to see the love of every chapter. The authenticity of everyone and being able to see the hearts of the girls I talked to led me to find my home. My Rho Gammas led me, talked to me, and cared for me in every way. The love everyone showed me allowed me to be confident in my decision to do recruitment!”
— Mackenzie Buchter
What to wear?
Show your style! Pick out something you feel confident and comfortable in.
Philanthropy
PNMs will wear a shirt provided by Panhellenic and can match it with cute shorts, overalls, skirts, etc...
This is the most casual round!
Sisterhood
PNMs can wear a casual dress, similiar to what you would wear to church. Not too fancy!
Preference
This is the fanciest round. Think what you would wear to a wedding, such as a modest dress with heels!
Bid Day
It is probably going to be H-O-T outside! PNMs will want to wear athleisure clothes. Chapters will provide shirts for the girls to wear over their clothes.
BID DAY! BEST DAY!
BID DAY! BEST DAY!
September 6th
Bid Day concludes primary recruitment.
PNMs will gather with their Rho Gamma group and open their bids on the football field.
Family and friends are invited to Bid Day activities on the Quad only.
Chapters will host pictures and celebrations on and off campus on
Bid Day.
PNMs can wear an outfit of their own choice to the football field but their new sorority will provide a t-shirt for them to wear throughout the rest of the day.
Bid Day is hosted during warm weather so athletic leisure is appropiate.
