Goodness - reading your blog brought back memories. I have a current KD daughter at the U of A. When she was going through recruitment, her "favorite" house cut her on her birthday. Talk about tears and tears and tears and the worst birthday ever!!! Now she fully believes the process works and cannot imagine that she should be anything BUT a KD!! So glad your daughter did not drop out! VERY glad to hear you will be on campus for bid day. I was there and it is one of those memories that is vividly imprinted in my mind. Although, it was another tough day. All the PNMs are collected in the Greek Theater with the houses gathered around the perimeter. The Gamma Chis are all introduced and reveal their house affiliation. The PNMs are handed envelopes with their bid and all open them at the same time. I had my eye on my daugher but lost her in the chaos as I watched from afar. All the happy girls were jumping up and down and racing to her new sisters. It was the longest 3 or so minutes before I saw my daughter embracing other KDs. As I write this, the tears are welling up in my eyes again. Good job mom - so glad you will be there to share it with your girl! I just might go for the fun and excitement of it. Even for members, this is a huge event full of emotion, exhaution, and anticipation. Good luck!
