Tips for Sorority Bid Day
Here are a few tips to make sorority bid day the BEST!
1. Make Every New Sister Feel Welcome
Assign each sorority sister to 1-2 girls to personally welcome, to make sure every new sorority girl feels welcome.
2. Gift a Small Present
A gift doesn’t have to be expensive! It could be a pair of $4 sunglasses, a boa, or a fun party hat.
3. Start with an Ice-Breaker
An ice-breaker game is a great and low-key way for everyone to get to know each other.
Just do a google search for "ice breaker games" and you'll find lots of ideas!
My personal favorite game is "Change Places If..." Find instructions here.
4. Have Plenty of Food
Have plenty of food available for everyone to eat, and include a mix of party food (chips, pizza), healthy food (carrots, pita chips, hummus), and vegetarian options.
5. Tell Each Girl How Happy You Are to Have Them!
Some girls may not have picked your sorority as their #1 choice.
Bid Day is the time to make them feel welcome and happy to be in your sorority. Tell them how happy you are to have them as a new sister!
6. Be LOUD to Welcome Your New Sisters
Have a fun cheer and be LOUD when you welcome your new sisters into your sorority house!
7. Don’t Keep the Girls Too Long
Rush/recruitment is exhausting…especially for the girls going through rush. Your new pledges are likely super excited to be in your sorority, but also emotionally exhausted!
Don’t keep the girls too long on Bid Day. Talking to strangers all day can be really exhausting, especially for introverts.
Sorority Bid Day Gift Ideas
My sorority didn’t give us gifts on bid day (nor did I expect a gift!).
However, if your college/sorority traditional gives out gifts, here are a few ideas.
1. Sorority Cosmetic Bag
Customizable!
A cute cosmetic bag with your sorority’s Greek letters is a great bid day gift idea.
2. Sorority Tote Bag
Super Cute and Useful!
A cute sorority chapter tote bag is perfect for carrying books around campus, or for bringing to a frat party at the beach!
3. Sorority Trucker Hat
Cute and Practical!
A fun sorority trucker hat is perfect for beach parties. Plus, this bid day gift idea is perfect for wearing to take fun photos!
4. Sorority Hooded Sweatshirt for Bid Day
Sizes Up to 3X-Large
Of course, your new sorority sisters will probably accumulate lots of official sorority/Greek t-shirts and sweatshirts. But…these sweatshirts are just perfect for bid day!
5. Tassel Key Fobs
A key fob isn’t just for car keys! A personalized sorority tassel fob can be added to a backpack or a purse.
Great for a Gift!
