Saturday, September 6th: Preference Day

• You will receive a schedule inviting you to one or two events for the day. During this round, you will talk more in-depth with members about their sorority experience and why their chapter is important to them. You will take part in a special ceremony that is unique to each chapter. Some women may be emotional during this round as they share the bonds of sisterhood they have formed with women in their chapter.
• Please plan on being available between 10am to 4pm. You may attend one or two events, which last 45 minutes each. There will be 30 minutes allotted for a break between each event. Your schedule will depend on which chapters you will be visiting for the Preference Round.
• What to wear: Nice blouse with dress pants, skirt, dress or pantsuit. We encourage you to dress nicer this day since you will be participating in the chapter's preference ceremony

Sunday, September 15: Bid Day
10am at Maucker Union

• After opening their bids in an outdoor space on campus, new members will then be escorted to meet their chapter at a designated space on campus. New members will then go to afternoon events with their new sorority, including lunch, snacks, and activities. In the later evening, chapters may require participation in new member and all-chapter meetings. Following the end of these events, new members will return to their place of residence for the night.  Please plan on being available between 10:00 a.m. to 2 p.m. Most likely, you may also take part in your first chapter meeting this same evening, which typically starts around 6 to 7 p.m.
