15 Bid Day Themes That Your New Sisters Are Going To Love
If you’re planning on joining a sorority, bid day might just be one of the most exciting days during your first few weeks of college! Bid day is the day where you open up your envelop (or, bid) and see which sorority house you ended up with. Usually, after the opening of the envelopes, you run with your new sisters to your house, which is so fun and exciting. The moment you get to your house, the girls who are already in the house set up a theme party to celebrate! The girls will dress up and decorate the house according to said chosen theme. If you are in a sorority and are looking for some cute themes for your next bid day, here are a few themes that your sorority sisters will be sure to love!
1. Color Theme
All sororities have their own colors—not just on that campus, but nationally. For example, Kappa Kappa Gamma is light blue and dark blue, Kappa Delta is Green, and Zeta Tau Alpha is a royal blue. It can be so fun to turn your bid day party into your sorority’s color scheme. Decorate the house in the colors of your sorority and have everyone dress up in that color. This is a great way to welcome all your new sisters and have them join the sisterhood.
2. Space Jam Theme
I’ve seen other sororities doing Space Jam themes, and I am here for it! This is such a cute idea that will impress your new sisters. You can get creative with this and add your sorority’s name to the space jams logo. You can get it printed on shirts or even make a sign. Have all your sisters dress up in the theme and take cute pics together! This is a unique theme that you and your sisters will have so much fun with.
3. Cowgirl Themes
It’s time to break out your cowgirl hat and boots because this theme is starting to take over, and we couldn’t be happier! This theme adds a cute southern touch to your bid day festivities. You can take this theme and make it your own with signs saying the name of your sorority and decorating the house.
3. Race Car Theme
This bid day theme is getting more popular as the years go on. I have been seeing so many sororities doing this theme and they all come out so cute! Dress up in black and white checkers and add some red accessories for the best outfit! You can decorate the house in similar colors and create the best theme yet!
4. Football Theme
Is your college a huge football school? If so, a football theme might be a perfect idea! Design shirts that show your sorority name in the NFL logo and put some eyeblack on! This is a great way to decorate in a fun and creative way. Out of all the bid day themes, this one might win overall best! You will be able to capture the cutest pictures with this theme.

If you and your sisters want to be super original and get creative this bid day, Astroworld is the perfect theme! Turn your sorority name into the logo and make it your own!

This is so creative and your new sisters will absolutely love it!
9. Rock ‘N’ Roll
Turn on your creative switches and go for a rock ‘n’ roll theme! We all love a good oversized band tee, so why not customize it to be your sorority name?

You can even decorate your letters to match the theme for the perfect set up. This is one of the most fun bid day themes you can have!
10. Olympic Theme
With an Olympic bid day theme, you can get very creative with the sayings you write on a sign. For example, you can write, “bringing home the gold” or “always going for the gold.” This is a fun way to welcome your new sisters to the house. Make custom shirts to match the theme and maybe decorate your house with some torches, too. Use this theme for a great way to make your new sisters feel welcome and special.
11. New Kids On The Block Theme
This theme is definitely spot on for the event. Since all of your new sisters will be officially joining the sorority, they really are the new kids on the block!
