Bid day is finally here, and yes, it is every bit as exciting, chaotic, emotional and sweaty as you think it will be. In this episode of Rush Talk, Brooke and Chloe break down what actually happens on OSU sorority recruitment bid day, from the early morning bid delivery to the big run home from the Student Union to the sorority houses.
They talk through what PNMs can expect, what parents should know before showing up, where to park, when to arrive, what to wear and what your real job is once your daughter runs home. Spoiler alert: you are mostly there to hold the stuff, find the water, take the pictures and let her have her moment.
The episode also covers bid day baskets, parent meetings, parents' club, new member expectations, why social media still matters after recruitment and how to support a roommate or friend who does not get a bid or decides to pursue COB.
It is honest, practical and full of the little details nobody tells you until you are standing outside a sorority house in August heat. Listen before bid day so you know what to expect.
