Bid day

Poster Message:
Bid day is different in each house. Some sororities pile on the gifts, other just give you a bag filled with goodies. It totally depends. A lot of parents and friends will order bid day baskets from some of the local shops. They will go into the shop or call the shop (as early as possible, baskets are delivered in the order they receive the order) and tell them the dollar amount they want to spend, or the exact gift they want to send. On bid day, the shops receive the bid lists at the same time as the sororities receive them and they start putting names on the already made-up baskets. Credit cards are not usually charged until bid day to make sure that the recipient actually received a bid. For example, in June I went into the Lilly pad and ordered a $75 basket for a PNM coming from my home town. I gave them my credit card number. On bid day they will look for my friends name and put together a $75 basket and deliver it to the house she receives a bid to. I specified they put a t-shirt and picture frame and whatever else up to $75. If she doesn't receive a bid, they will not charge my card.
