According to The University of Kentucky's
2006 Sorority Recruitment Information Booklet, this is what you are to wear on Bid Day at UK.
DOs: White or light pastel dress.
DON’Ts: Dark or Bright Colors dresses/shorts.
Bid Day, the last day of Recruitment Week, is the day potential members receive their invitation, or bid, to join a sorority. It is an exciting day when potential members meet their new sorority sisters and pledge the sorority. Traditionally, potential members wear white dresses, but light pastel dresses can also be worn. Pledging ceremonies will be held later in the day, and all new students are encouraged to attend Kentucky Welcome.
FYI: My "old" year books state that wearing white was a "long time tradition" even then. And this from the mid to late 1970s.
