Sisters celebrated their first bid day on the last day of winter break Sunday.

Panhellenic Association recruitment was held for the first time during the final days of winter break, ending the day before classes begin. Bid day also took place on the National Mall for the first time in three years – sisters welcomed their new members in Kogan Plaza in 2018 and in Potomac Park, a parking lot off G Street, last January.

Here are some photos from the day:
