2016 Rho Phi Bid Day (Bid Tuesday)
From left to right.
Louis Campbell (Rose Hulman 2019), John Evans (Rose Hulman 2018), Micheal Landwehr (Rose Hulman 2018), Matthew White (Rose Hulman 2020). Picture is taken shorty after 5:00 pm when bid acceptances were announced and brothers pick up new members. In this instance the new member is Matt White.
Bid Tuesday, as it is known on the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, is the end of formal fall recruitment in the mens' Greek system. At 5:00 pm, all fraternities receive a matched list of new members. For Rho Phi, the members will pick up the new members and meet up at a location on campus and smoke a "cheap cigar". This tradition (in one form or another) dates back decades. Upon return to the chapter house there is a formal dinner and the new pledges receive a rush tshirt and a group picture is taken. Thirty-four new members signed with Rho Phi that evening.
