Dreamy
A Match Made in Heaven On Cloud 9 The Angels Have Landed Welcome to Dreamland Angel Energy
What's a better place to start than with your head in the clouds? A dreamy Bid Day is a perfect way to get the year started on the right foot. With this theme, you have flexibility for a ton of different elements. Whether you keep the tee classic and simple or graphic and bold, this Bid Day will feel like a dream come true.
You could go the angel route, accessorizing with halos, wings, and metallics. Gold letters, a shiny halo, or bold wings on the back of the shirt are all unique ways to make a angelic statement. You can also add some bright colors - like pink and purple - to make the event more vibrant and eye-catching! Just because it's a dream theme doesn't mean you have to stick with neutrals.
You could also go with clouds! On Cloud 9 is a classic theme that can incorporate dreamy elements. Moons, stars, and clouds (duh) are all perfect to make this idea a reality. Add a crescent moon and shining stars on your shirt, like the light blue tee below. You could also go with white clouds and a retro font, adding a groovy twist to this ethereal theme.
For accessorizing, white is always a solid choice. A white pleated skirt, feather boa, and halo will make any design stand out in the crowd. You can also go more bold with a sparkly skirt (warning: sparkly skirts will be mentioned a lot ... it's not our fault they're amazing.) Shiny sequins will still give the dreamy vibes you want, but with a fun twist!
DON'T FORGET:
- white and metallic balloons
- cloud banners
- pastel backdrop for cute pics
Bright and Smiley
Live Life in Color Color Me KKG Happy to be Alpha Phi Smile, You're a Zeta Happiness Begins Here
Make your new members feel happy and loved immediately! Bright colors and fun graphics make this overarching smiley theme perfect for Fall Bid Day in 2022. Rainbows, smileys, sunshine, stars - they're all welcome! Your chapter will have a blast making an outfit around these vibrant tees.
Stay trendy and fun with smiley faces and bright colors! You can keep the tshirt simple while still making a statement. For example, you can have your name repeating down the front in multiple colors, either with smiley faces in between the words or just a rainbow color palette. You can also have all the color in the shirt, choosing a bright pink or green with simple white font.
Add some fun graphics to this rainbow party! A simple sun will give golden hour vibes, but won't make you commit to a country look. You can still go with alternating colors to make a colorful splash. A lightning bolt will ~literally~ be striking, staying subtle behind a bold font. Finally, stars will make this happy theme shine brightly.
For accessories, the boundaries are as wide as the theme itself. A colorful sparkly skirt or metallic shorts will help bring out some of those rainbow hues, leaving the whole chapter looking blindingly bright. You can also go with trendy printed pants if your tshirt design is fairly simple. Butterfly clips, bubble braids, and colorful sunnies are a must with a theme this carefree. Add bandanas, feather boas, or a sparkly fringe jacket to add some much needed drama.
DON'T FORGET:
- multicolored ballpit for cute pics
- rainbow fringe backdrop
- smiley banners
Butterflies
The Alpha Phi Effect Flying High with PC 22 You Give Us Butterflies Fly Home To Alpha Phi Spread Your Wings
Who doesn't love a classic butterfly? This simple design lets you do a million different things and have any color scheme you want. The puns with this theme are endless, making girls want to fly home to your chapter on Butterfly Bid Day!
Go for a basic tee with many different butterflies for an aesthetically pleasing design. Bright reds and pinks or warm blues and oranges are just a couple of the color combos you could choose. Let the graphics be the focus, putting your sorority name small on the top or bottom. If you want a retro aspect to your event, go with a bold bubbly font or distressed look. You can also add a bit of edge with a gothic font in black. Whatever you want!!
If you have a specific theme in mind, like the Butterfly Effect, you can personalize a simple design with your sorority name. Keep the font small and centered, letting the decor stand out boldly. A basic tee can be styled in a million different ways and still look cute and unique. If you want a dreamy butterfly look, soft pastels and metallic lettering will make you want to spread your wings and fly.
For acessorizing, it's all about the vibe you're going for. Stay light with a flowy skirt, neutral sandals, and pastel sunnies. You can also add butterfly clips ... I know, an insane concept. But with bubble braids or tiny braids in wavy hair, they will be the perfect extra pop of color. Colored cowboy hats are also an easy addition for a last minute look. If you want a more edgy butterfly look, stick with a black skirt and fishnets.
DON'T FORGET:
- hanging butterflies on trees
- detailed banners with a monarch
- pastel wigs and glitter
2000's
Spice Up Your Life Oops ... We DDDid It Again KD Girl in a KD World That's So Theta Bid Day Baby One More Time
There's no better time than the present ... or is there? A 00s themed Bid Day is SUPER trendy right now, especially with all the Y2K fashion coming back in style. Just no low rise jeans again, please. Going for iconic pop culture moments in the 2000s is a unique and memorable theme that the whole chapter will love.
First off, the classic 00s things. Bratz, Barbie, Clueless, Lisa Frank, That's So Raven, Hannah Montana - they're all perfect. For Bratz, mimicking the logo to your sorority name is the best way to make your theme come across clearly. A light pink with the classic halo and stars is all your need. Same goes with That's So Raven and Barbie - still with a similar font to make your tshirt pop!
You can also have a more airbrushed effect to make it more general 00s vibes. A tie dye or ribbed white tank will take us all back to 2002 immediately, I guarantee it. Adding butterflies, hearts, stars, and rainbows will take it to the next level! And then boom! You have a perfect Lisa Frank inspired look.
I may be bias, but 00s Bid Day is the most fun to accessorize for. Iconic bottom options - metallic shorts, printed skirts, and velour track pants (with a matching zip up hoodie ofc.) A plaid skirt will give you Clueless vibes, or a simple white skirt can work for almost any theme. Go with white platform sneakers or booties to complete the basics. For accessories - scrunchies, butterfly clips, barettes, hair pom poms, and bucket hats are all on theme. Complete the throwback with tiny sunnies, a flip phone, and simple chokers.
DON'T FORGET:
- photo backdrop with collage of iconic 00s people and moments
- playlist with Y2K bangers only
- all the pink decor you can find for Barbie Dreamhouse

Light pinks, blues, and greens are all great to make this shiny dream a reality.

A flame font is always a perfect choice for this event, especially the Trasher inspired style. It makes it obvious what the theme is and pops on a black or white tank top.

Red, black, or white, any of them will do. Tie it around your neck, as a headband, or as a full hair scarf. Black sunnies will also give you that extra edge, especially if they're in the shape of flames. To complete the look, go for silver chain necklaces and large hoop earrings.
