5 Fall Bid Day Themes Your Sorority Will Love

Bid Day isn’t just about the matching tees and cute photo dumps. It’s the ending to a long, emotional recruitment and the start of something way more real: your new sisterhood. 

After days of convos, rounds, and making big decisions, PNMs finally open their bid cards and find out where they belong. And your Bid Day theme sets the vibe for all of that. You want your new members to feel welcomed, celebrated, and honestly, just excited to be there. 

So, here are 5 Fall Bid Day themes that will make that happen:

Gives Me Butterflies

This theme is basically the feeling you get when you see your new members join: literal butterflies. It’s sweet, emotional, and perfect for welcoming them into something brand new.

Think baby tees with pastel butterfly designs, tanks that hug you in the right places, and butterfly stickers in Bid Day bags. Using soft colors like lavender, blush, and mint keep everything dreamy, and fresh. And it captures that whole “you’re about to grow into something beautiful” vibe perfectly.

We share all the merch inspo, accessories, and decor you’ll need on our Gives Me Butterflies theme page.

Malibu Barbie

This one isn’t just about being covered in pink (tho we love that too). It’s about confidence, empowerment, and celebrating all the amazing women who make your chapter what it is - both the ones who have been there and the ones who are just joining.

And, it’s the perfect way to show your new members they’re joining a chapter that hypes them up to be their best. Bring this aesthetic to life with cute baby tees, hot pink bandeaus, and Barbie-inspired designs that are way more than Kenough. More inspo waiting for you on our Malibu Barbie theme page.

From Me To You

This theme’s like a love letter to your new members. It’s cozy, sentimental, and will make them feel instantly welcomed. Go with letter stamp designs, create matching sets with the best oversized crewneck and sweatpants, and top it off by including little hand-signed notes in their Bid Day bags.

This theme is timeless, heartfelt, and basically says, “you’re already part of the family.” See all the product and design recs on our From Me To You theme page.

Berry Bomb

Berry Bomb is for the chapters that want something cute but not totally over the top. It’s playful, colorful, and looks so good in photos.

Picture berry-red designs, scoop tanks, and all the strawberries you can count. This theme gives your Bid Day a bright, fun vibe that shows off your chapter’s playful personality. Tie everything together with the right accessories and decor - all up on our Berry Bomb theme page.

Good Jeans

Good Jeans is all about celebrating finding the perfect fits for your chapter. Plus, it’s a great excuse to go full denim-on-denim. 

Using dark-wash tees, white and blue designs, or stitched fonts will also bring the aesthetic together. And if y’all have time (which you should make tbh), create a denim backdrop for amazing Bid Day pics. I mean, just look at this one from Kappa Kappa Gamma.

And of course, you can grab more merch and design inspo on our Good Jeans theme page.
