-
Day Two: Wear casual clothes but slighty more upscale than yesterday (sweaters, cardigans, jeans, etc.). The second day you could visit up to 4 of the sororities that you met yesterday. Today's theme is Sisterhood where you learn about what each sorority's sisterhood entails.
-
Day Three: Wear more upscaled clothing (nice blouse, shirt, scarf, cardigan, sweater, etc.). The third day you could visit up to 3 sororities. Today is all about each sorority's National Philanthropies.
-
Day Four: Wear a nice dress (not as upscale as hoco, but not a sundress either). This is Preference night. You only go to preference night if you get invited to go. You can possibly visit two sororities on this night.
-
Day Five: Bid Day! You'll be given a specific time to go to Greek Life's office where you could receive your bid. You can wear whatever you want this day, but its best to wear something you could easily change out of or put something over top of.
