Recruitment 101

​

• How do I know which sorority basket I am supposed to buy? This is the most asked question! 

We take care of everything for you. As a top-tier recruitment sponsor Homestead Design receives the matched bid list, which tells us which sorority your PNM is receiving a bid from, in the very early morning hours on Bid Day. We fill your basket order (Greek for Life, Totally Greek, or Go Greek Basket) and deliver to all the houses before Bid Day begins.

​

• How do I get a gift delivered to my PNM’s new sorority house on Bid Day?   

Order from Homestead Design. We are a top-tier U of A Recruitment Sponsor, allowing us exclusive access to the sorority houses to deliver your Bid Day Basket before the Bid Day activities start at the Greek Theatre. We are so fortunate that the University of Arkansas has a program that allows top-tier sponsors exclusive, early access to the sorority houses to deliver your gifts before Bid Day begins. 

​

• Do you charge extra for delivery to the sorority houses before Bid Day at the Greek Theatre starts?  

No. Sorority house delivery is included in your Bid Day Basket purchase.  

​

• Can you tell me which sorority my PNM matches with to make logistics easier for our family? 

I am so sorry, but we are not allowed to let anyone know details of the bid list. The excitement in the Greek Theatre as thousands of PNMs open their bids is amazing! We wouldn’t want to spoil that for your PNM, or for you.

​

• What happens if my PNM withdraws from recruitment before Bid Day?  

If your PNM decides to withdraw from recruitment email us at susangroys@gmail.com as quickly as possible, before bid day. We will refund your money. It’s the right thing to do. 

​​

• What happens if my PNM doesn’t receive a bid? First, I know recruitment week can be full of nerves for everyone. If your PNM goes through recruitment, and does not appear on the bid list, we will not deliver a basket, and please email us at susangroys@gmail.com as soon as possible.  We will refund your money. It’s the right thing to do.

​

• Is it really “a thing” to buy a Bid Day Basket? Do many PNMs receive Bid Day Baskets?

Yes!  

The sorority houses have large, dedicated areas for the priority Bid Day Basket deliveries with assigned sorority members to make sure everything goes smoothly. They are waiting for us to deliver your PNM’s basket. When my daughter went through recruitment, I had a friend who explained how the Bid Day Baskets work at UA. I was so glad she did!
