She is a DZ! Her number one choice! She is elated, excited and exhausted! Let me tell you about it!
I drove to Auburn for bid day not sure what to expect. My daughter had asked me to come but I really did not want to be one of only a handful of moms to be there. I was in for a nice surprise when I arrived at the outdoor ampitheater....there were parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, and plenty of fraternity guys on hand for the ceremony. The atmosphere was one of celebration and it was very welcoming and warm (literally). The girls met their Pi Chi's and waited anxiously for 3:00 to arrive. At about 2:55 approximately 10 representatives from each sorority came marching down the hill wearing sundresses' in their sorority colors. Once they arrived it was not long before a truck filled with panhellenic reps. riding in the back and waving flags drove up the street towards the ampitheater. The cheers erupted and we knew that the bids had arrived! The bids were distributed very quickly and soon the ampitheater was full of cheers, hugs, and whoops as families and friends celebrated with their daughters. Everyone was then invited back to the chapter room for a reception and for a chance to get to know some of the people who will be important to the new pledges. Once the reception ended we had a few hours to spend together before she had to be off to the sorority for her first night as a DZ. I am exhausted! It was at least 100 degrees today and the heat wiped me out. As for her friends....one was released after a suicide bid, one got her third choice and is unsure what to do, and two are very happy girls tonight.
