The Ultimate Bid Day Basket Guide: Everything Your New Member Will Love
Bid Day is one of the most exciting moments in Greek life — and the perfect Bid Day basket makes it unforgettable. Whether you're a Big putting together a welcome gift or a chapter stocking up for the whole new member class, we've rounded up our most-loved sorority picks to help you build a basket that's as thoughtful as it is on-brand.
The Must-Have Bid Day Basket Items
1. Sorority Keepsake Mock Neck Crew
A cozy, chapter-colored crewneck she'll reach for all semester. This is the piece that photographs beautifully on Bid Day and gets worn on repeat — from study sessions to football Saturdays.
2. Sorority Stripe Tote Bag
Every new member needs a go-to tote. Stuff it with the rest of your basket goodies for an instant wow moment when she opens it.
3. Sorority Gingham Quilted Makeup Bag
A practical, pretty addition she'll use every day. Tuck in a few extras — lip balm, a mini candle, a sticker sheet — and it becomes a gift within a gift.
4. Sorority Corded Key & Bag Charm
Small but mighty. These charms are the kind of detail that makes a basket feel curated rather than thrown together.
5. Sorority Seersucker Shorts
Perfect for warmer Bid Days and the weeks that follow. Comfortable, cute, and chapter-colored.
6. Sorority Trucker Baseball Hat
A casual staple she'll wear to class, tailgates, and everything in between.
7. Sorority Rainbow Pennant Flag
A room décor piece she can hang the moment she gets home — a daily reminder of her new chapter.
8. Sorority Assorted Buttons, Rainbow Sticker Sheet + Lettered Luxe Pens
The finishing touches. Affordable, fun, and perfect for filling out a basket without blowing the budget.
How to Build Your Basket
Start with the tote as your base — it doubles as the basket itself. Layer in the crewneck, add the smaller accessories, and finish with stickers and buttons on top for a colorful, gift-ready presentation. Wrap in tissue paper in your chapter colors and you're done.
