Welcome home, Dawgs. Bid Day at UGA is the moment: reveal, chants, lawn runs, and house-front photos on Milledge Ave. We bring the sound, the hype, and the content machine: a pro DJ/MC, a modern photo booth, event photography for candids + groups, and a short vertical recap video your chapter actually posts.
Why UGA Bid Day matters: Recruitment wraps with Bid Day in mid-August, when new members get their bids and celebrate at the houses. Hello banners, lawn dances, and wall-to-wall photos. With our Athens DJ Service setting the perfect soundtrack, we know the timing and volume sweet spots so you can be loud enough for the vibe.
