Update
Just got back from AU. Wanted to give you an update. The weather was threatening, thunder, lightning and some light rain around 4:00 to 4:30. Sky started to clear, but by the time we got to the amphitheater area (where bids are distributed), rain began to fall and the humidity began to rise!!! Thankfully, it didn't downpour. More of a nuisance than anything.
This was my first time watching a bid day, and it was as advertised -- lots of screaming, yelling, jumping up and down and a few tears. Most of the girls I saw looked very happy.
Quota was 59, as has been said above, I think, and my daughter's chapter has 61 new pledges. Many, many out-of-state girls in the group, and my daughter did not know a single girl in her pledge class. But she knows several of the actives and seems to be thrilled to now be a member of................................................ ..........................................

Thanks to all of you for your support this week. It was nerve-wracking, to say the least.
AuburnMom08, I hope your daughter has a wonderful year at AU and gets very involved and seriously considers COB in the spring or the new colony Theta.
