Ohhh yes it is!!! And lots of fun too!! I took my daughter to the past two conventions, when she first saw the parade, she thought her mother had lost her mind. By the time the parade was done, she wanted to be in it!! It is such an amazing site!

I know it's dark, but the bids weren't handed out until around 9pm!

This is the entire Alpha Sigma Alpha chapter at the University of Missouri- Kansas City with their first pledge class!

Isn't that cruel to wait til 9? or is it nice that they don't have to wait to the next day?

I know! In all fairness, I must disclose that my chapter is unhoused. They had bid day at my pledge sister's house. I'm getting old...her niece pledged last year.

Haha the reason bids are handed out so late is because pref is the same day. And personally, I would have died if we didn't get our bids till the next day! I was so stressed out, worried my Rho Gamma would call me saying I didn't get into a chapter lol

When ATO returns they will find that Tri-Sigma's renovations/remodeling are a tremendous enhancement.
