I'm sure for the most part, parents are happy that their kids are happy.
Has the presence of a parent ever made things, um, awkward for the kid in the event that recruitment didn't have a favorable outcome in the parent's eyes?
Ex: I could see Legacy Mom being visibly upset that Daughter didn't get a bid to XYZ and making a big deal about it in front of Daughter.
Or Daughter being bummed about not getting her 1st choice and having a mom present who encourages her to depledge or something.
Does that happen or are most parents pretty tactful if they choose to come to Bid Day?

I've wondered about this, too... the only moms we saw at bid day for my chapter were moms who were DGs, too.
I would hope that most moms would behave in a ladylike manner.
(This is the cue for someone who has a crazy story about a mom acting in a totally outlandish way at some bid day somewhere.)
