Alpha Xi Delta Bid Day 2025
bid day, best day!
Bid Day is the day women going through sorority recruitment find out which house they’ve been accepted into. It’s a huge celebration full of photo opportunities and fun giveaways, but most importantly it’s each new member’s first impression of our chapter.
During my senior year, I served as the Creative Chair for Bid Day and had the opportunity to brand the entire event. From apparel to stickers and signage, I designed every visual element used throughout the celebration. Over the course of the summer, I created two custom tank tops, three stickers, four banners, posters and signage, a booklet explaining what to expect as a new member, a tote bag, and various hand-painted pieces.
This project allowed me to gain extensive design experience while also strengthening my budgeting, project management, and leadership skills. I coordinated production timelines, managed costs, and led a team to execute the designs under strict deadlines to ensure everything was ready for the event.
Banners
I created ten banner designs that were voted on by my team. The top three made the cut, and we were gifted a fourth banner from the company that made our tank tops. In years past, we have made our banners by hand, but I wanted our house to really stand out. Our theme was “Coastal Cowgirl” and I knew wanted something more elevated than what I could do by hand. Overall, I’m very glad I did and I even think I may have started a trend on campus… who knows!

Stickers
Each new member got a goodie bag with a new cowgirl hat, booklet, snacks, and three stickers. I wanted people to be able to continue celebrating Bid Day all year long, and my stickers made that happen!
