bid day

Chapter selection celebration

Bid day is the culminating event of sorority recruitment at American universities, when chapters extend formal invitations and new members learn which sorority they've been accepted into.

The day typically involves emotional reveals, celebratory gatherings, and new pledges running to meet their chapters: I was so nervous waiting for bid day.

The term occasionally applies to fraternity recruitment as well.
