Bid Day Best Day!

Bid Day. Best Day!

Let's talk Xi...


Bid day is a day you'll never forget! This is the day you've been waiting all week to get to!
At Jacksonville State, Bid Day is the Sunday after recruitment starts. You have made it from philanthropy day to sisterhood and values to preference, so now it is time to see where you will run home to!



You're recruitment counselors will go through what to wear that morning before you run home. Usually girls will wear a sports bra or tank top (this is so you can change into your bid day shirt that your new sisters have sent to you!) and denim or running shorts. Whatever you are comfortable wearing. Also make sure you wear some good shoes to run in! Converse or Chacos are always a good way to go, but if you can run in those cute sandals then rock it, sis!


Once you get there you'll sit down and wait for that envelope to come to you. Your recruitment counselor will more than likely give it to you about 20 minutes before you run out. But you'll have to sit there and hold it for a few minutes before anyone can open them! Finally, your recruitment counselors will count down to open them. 3...2...1...



YOUR NEW LETTERS AWAIT! Cheers and tears of joy will fill the room as everyone runs over to their table to get their shirts and change. You'll be able to hear your new sisters cheering and chanting waiting on you to run home to them!


You'll walk down with your new member class sisters to the front steps of the TMB and wait for yet another countdown. Run in 3...2...1...


RUN HOME! Finally you've made it into the welcoming arms of your sweet new sisters. Now go enjoy the day with your new best friends. You may go bowling or have a cookout! Who knows! Just enjoy that time and get to know those amazing knew women you can now call sisters.

Until next time! XoXi

Let's Talk Xi!

The sisterhood of women that lives within our hearts.  The loyalty and friendships of which we are a part. Alpha Xi Delta holds a special place in all our sisters hearts, and we would like to share it with you! Here on our blog we will give you an inside look on our chapter here at Jacksonville State University. This blog is also here to tell you about the recruitment process on our campus! What is it? When is it? What should I wear? Don't worry, we will get to all of that later. In 1968, Alpha Xi Delta was founded on campus as the first Panhellenic organization. Since our founding, the sisters of the Epsilon Pi chapter have come a long way in realizing their potential.  Our sister Darby has been crowned as Miss JSU 2019. We have JSU Ballerinas in our sisterhood! We have future nurses... And we have Disney cast members! Needless to say, Epsilon Pi has a lot to talk about, and this is just a fraction of it! We want to help you find out

Sorority Girls Can Change the World Let's Talk Xi... with Makayla Brown! Our sister, Makayla, is a World Changing Ambassador for Sorority Girls Can Change the World. Who knew a girl from Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, could change the world one day? What is Sorority Girls Can Change the World ? I'm glad you asked! Sorority Girls Can Chang the World is a book that Katie Bulmer wrote about her story and how much sorority women can make an impact no matter where they go! Katie started to wonder her senior year of college if there was more to life than "cute shoes and Jell-O shots." Since then she has been a world changer and an inspiration for sorority women everywhere. Her book talks about dating, community, and how we can help others. Makayla says she recommends this book to anyone she meets because it inspired her so much, especially in Alpha Xi Delta! Makayla is a World Changing Ambassador! As an ambassador, Makayla helps spread the word about

The Panhellenic Summer Social is a great way to "get your feet wet" with the recruitment process and the sorority women on campus.  What to expect: In the past, the Summer Social has been a busy busy day! All of the women who are going through or are thinking of going through recruitment show up and get name tags to start the day. After you're shown your seat, you'll get to chat with the other women at your table! What classes are you taking? What are you majoring in? Do you know anyone else going through? Chat it up!
