Fresh off of this year’s rush week, many Ole Miss students participated in Bid Day across campus on Sunday. Bid Day is organized by Greek-affiliated organizations of the Interfraternity and Panhellenic Councils as a last step for campus chapters selecting new members at the end of their recruitment process. This year, 1324 women received their bids in the Grove before joining sororities at their various houses. Students completing the IFC recruitment process also received their bids Sunday, and 766 men participated in IFC rush this year.
