For sorority girls, bid day is like your birthday, a trip to Disneyland, and Christmas combined into one. If you don't believe it, here are seven reasons why us sorority girls peak during bid day every year.
1. You get to dress up.
You love costumes and themed parties, so bid day is an excuse to pull out those tutus, that face paint, and or any other item you have in the costume box that hasn't gotten any use this summer. That snapback you got over spring break with your letters airbrushed onto it has never been more relevant.
2. You get to wear matching shirts, which were free.
Not only do you all look super adorable in your matching themed tops and outfits, but you get them for free! Sorority girls have a serious appreciation for matching with their sisters whenever possible.
3. You get to wear flower crowns, hair bows, and snapbacks.
There is no more appropriate day to wear a flower crown than bid day, except maybe during Coachella. Pin that half bun up with a hair bow and you're ready to go. Just don't forget the bedazzles and glitter for your face!
4. There's a DJ, which means there's a dance party.
There's no boys at Bid Day, so bring on the stupid dance moves, because nobody is there to judge you, and you love a good dance party. The harder you're dancing and the more you're sweating, the better a time you're clearly having.
5. You get to see your hard work pay off and admire the awesome new member class you pulled during recruitment.
There is no more validating moment than seeing the ecstatic facial expressions on the new PC's beautiful faces when they show up for bid day. And dang, don't they look good in those bid day shirts! Make sure to give your BFFs a well deserved high five, because YOU ladies are the reason these girls are here and ready for the best four years of their lives.
6. Pictures on pictures on pictures.
You get to take at least 100 pictures, and sometimes, there's even a photo booth. There are few things sorority girls love more than pictures. You might even be in a picture with your future little without realizing it (you'll appreciate it when you have an awesome #tbt for later).
7. It signifies the end of recruitment.
Bid day is essentially the prize you get for working your butts off during work week and recruitment in order to get the most killer new pledge class (and make sure that rush crush of yours becomes your future little). At the end of it all, you get to celebrate, and dance the day away with all of your amazing friends and the new girls.
