if you make it to bid day, do you get a bid?

This is part of the letter that Greek Affairs sent to PNM's and parents on 8/16:

"Additionally, it is important to note that only potential new members who maximize their options, meaning they attend all of their parties throughout the week and list all of the chapters that they attended during the Preference Round are guaranteed to receive a bid for membership during formal recruitment. If your student did not maximize her options, it is possible she may be called by her Sigma Rho Chi tomorrow morning as a result of her release from recruitment. "

Just get those rec letters in early and go through recruitment with an open mind. All of the houses have something to offer (no matter what people say here or other places) so take it all in and judge for yourself. Good luck!

No one actually goes to the stadium without a bid. Calls are made that morning if you have been "released" from recruitment. If you pass through the Bryant-Denny gates on Bid Day, one of the Houses has extended a bid to you.

Work on those grades and work/volunteer experience, put your social resume together, and get your rec letters in early. Then show up and enjoy every minute if you can...and maximize your options at every single round.

Bid day success unless you get a call
