ARKANSAS STATE Bid Day Baskets
Bid day basket explained
Why does my daughter need a bid day basket?
Bid day baskets are a 20+ year tradition across the South. For years it has been tradition for sorority girls to arrive to their new sorority house with a gift waiting on them. This gift usually consists of t shirts, accessories, bags, and more. 90% of moms will order their daughter a bid day basket. This is a great way to make sure your daighter feels loved and supported by her family!
Will this basket be delivered morning of bid day? How will you know her sorority?
YES.
The Busy Bee is a platinum sponsor of Arkansas State. This means we receive the bid list before anyone else does! This gives us time to find out your daughters new sorority house and pack her sorority gift for her. That morning we will deliver her bid day basket to her new assigned sorority house around 9:30 a.m. It will be waiting for her when she runs home to her new sorority house.
There will be a designated area inside the sorority house where the 50+ bid day baskets will be. Her basket will have her name on it and the sorority girls in charge of her sorority house bid day will tell her where her basket is! I can promise it won't be hard to find. There will be a huge pile.
Why should I choose The Busy Bee brand over other companies?
The Busy Bee reputation speaks for itself. Our custom designed products are currently in every SEC town across the South. Our brand has a spot at Dallas market where other store owners purchase our sorority items for their bid day baskets in other SEC towns.
Arkansas State is lucky because the owner is married to a NEA local and brings her nationwide talent to the small town of Jonesboro, AR. The owner has been a passionate supporter of Arkansas State Panhellenic since 2024. She enjoys seeing the growth and potential this program brings to Jonesboro every year. Over 100+ Arkansas State moms chose The Busy Bee baskets for their daughter in 2025 and we are hoping for that number again!
