That&#8217;s what Bid Day is. Each August, girls run from Elm Street Gym to Sorority Hill to join their new sorority sisters. However, the freshman class of 2020 didn&#8217;t get that experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We were actually one of the only three or five schools to be able to do in-person recruitment, but of course, it was in classrooms and six feet away,&#8221; said Alpha Gamma Delta sister Anna Grace Holland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Holland joined Alpha Gamma Delta her freshman year of college. For the past three years, she&#8217;s been able to watch a recruitment experience she missed out on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/today.troy.edu\/trojanvision\/2024\/04\/15\/__trashed-10\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">KEEP READING: Sororities and fraternities team up for Skit Night<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Just being able to come today and get together really shows,&#8221; Holland said. &#8220;We had Bid Day on the quad, so just being able to run home to our house is super fun.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One senior talks about how this is a special moment for her and the other seniors who missed out on traditional bid day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We were the only pledge class who didn&#8217;t get one, so it was really special,&#8221; said Phi Mu sister Madison Mallick. &#8220;I was really surprised. I didn&#8217;t even know it was happening, so it was really cool for it to be able to happen for us.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Troy University&#8217;s Pan-Hellenic Council hosts Bid Day once every Fall and Spring semester.
