What do DeBeers Jewelers, BMW, Gap and Dave Mathews Band have in common with Inter-Sorority Council Recruitment?

They've all influenced slogans featured on the Bid Day t-shirts of the new sorority pledges.

On the first night of sister-bonding, replete with pledge class photo sessions and group dinners all over town, pledges receive the ultimate wash-and-wear symbol of their new affiliation.

These shirts, the first colorful tidings of Bid Week, take their cue from commercial logos, phrases and even song lyrics. With a few modifications and the appropriate Greek letters, a BMW emblem becomes part of a Gamma Phi Beta slogan, while Alpha Chi Omega alters DeBeer's trademark phrase to read, "A sister is forever" - starting now.
