At Ole Miss it is a family affair. I had not planned on attending as I thought it would "cramp her style". However, after a week at school DD called and asked for me to be there. I was totally shocked at the dads, grandparents and siblings waiting at the house as well as the moms. I was trying to imagine me explaining to my husbands and sons why they should miss Sunday football for Bid Day. Heck, I was not even sure what house she was in and would never have presumed to go to her 1st choice and wait without knowing, but somehow all these parents were aware ahead of time.

Anyhow, I would be there if your daughter asks. It is probably because she has heard that so many others will have family there. BTW, no one stuck around for long, just the picture taking, the initial welcome and a parent meeting where they welcomed us and explained how the meal plan worked, etc, but the girls were definitely off doing their own thing and parents were not included.
