Gallery: First-year students begin New Member Orientation on Bid Day

January 23, 2022 by Meghan Long and Taelyn Williams

Members and officers of fraternities and sororities began their third consecutive semester of New Member Orientation Saturday with traditional Bid Day activities on and off-campus. For the first time, the Office of Student Life opened the New Member Orientation process to first-year students, completing the one-year transition process to move it to the spring semester.
