What's Inside

FAQ

When is the preorder deadline?

Preorders remain open until our cap is reached. Orders placed by August 15 include a free surprise gift valued at $15 or more. We recommend ordering early -- once the cap fills, preorders close and gifts must be ordered by sorority after Bid Day.

How many preorder spots are available?

Preorders are limited to ensure every gift is assembled and delivered with care. Once the cap is reached, preorders close. We typically offer about 75 pre-orders.

When will the gift be delivered?

All preorders are hand-delivered to UNC Chapel Hill dorms on Wednesday, August 26. Your daughter will receive a text on Bid Day with our delivery schedule. If none of the scheduled times work for her, we'll arrange an individual meeting time.

What if my daughter doesn't know her house right away?

No problem. Text us as soon as she finds out and we'll get started on her gift. We'll be assembling gifts late into the night and delivering throughout the day on Wednesday, August 26.

What if my daughter decides not to continue with recruitment?

Please notify us as soon as possible so we do not reach out to her directly. Students find out Tuesday morning whether they will receive a bid. We offer a full refund or an alternate non-sorority gift -- your choice, no questions asked.

Can I add a gift message?

Yes. There is a gift message field at checkout. Your message will be included with her gift.

What if an item in the gift bag is unavailable?

Occasionally an item may need to be substituted based on availability. All substitutions are of equal or greater value. Orders placed earlier in the season are less likely to require substitutions.

Will you have gifts available after Bid Day?

Yes. Once we know sorority house distribution on the night of August 25, we will list house-specific gift bags and smaller bundles for each of the nine UNC Chapel Hill sororities. These are available to ship nationwide and are a great option for friends, family, and out-of-town relatives. Browse our sorority collection here.

Do you deliver outside of Chapel Hill?

The preorder gift bag is available for local hand-delivery to UNC Chapel Hill dorms only. Post-Bid Day house-specific bags and smaller bundles are available to ship nationwide.
