Sisterhood Day (Day 4)

On the fourth day, PNMs will visit up to four chapters to learn more about their unique sisterhoods.

Attire: Think “brunch “ attire— wear a nice top or blouse with denim shorts or a casual skirt and comfortable shoes.


Preference Day (Day 5)

On Preference Day, PNMs will visit up to two chapters. This is a very special occasion in which the sororities will share intimate values and meanings of their sisterhood and ritual.

Attire: Dress is “Sunday Best” — wear a nice dress with formal shoes. No long or sequined dresses. Remember to be appropriate—nothing too short or any “club wear.”


Bid night! (Day 6)

On Bid Day, PNMs will run to their new chapters and meet their sisters! Chapters will have retreats planned for new members following Bid Day that evening.

Attire: Comfortable athleisure. Wear a White/plain t-shirt or tank top and Black/plain athletic shorts or skirts. Wear comfortable tennis shoes—there will be running! You will be given your new chapter’s jersey once you arrive at your new chapter house to put over your White t-shirt/tank!
