The sororities and fraternities kicked off their New Member Orientation on Bid Day as they began their two-week pledging process. Clubs and their sponsors gathered at designated locations on and off campus to complete various tasks as instructed by their officers. The new members will spend the next two weeks learning about their club’s traditions and meeting current members.
