After four excruciating rounds of rush, the University's 16 sororities gave out their bids Monday and swormed toward their new members with balloons, Greek paraphernalia and, most importantly, bid day T-shirts. Yesterday, these T-shirts could be seen en masse across Grounds, complete with catchy saying and brilliant colors. All proclaimed pride for the women's new affiliation.
Bid day celebrations varied from house to house, with traditional appearances by the Virginia Gentlemen and karaoke performances widespread, as well as the inculcation of sorority songs. The week's celebrations, boasts bonding nights between the new pledge classes and the older sisters.
