I would encourage any interested moms to go for bid WEEKEND (not the whole week) if possible! Even though my Greek and Non-Greek friends thought I was crazy, I had heard it on good authority to come so I convinced a non-Greek mom from my hometown to join me (we live 10 hours away) for the fun of it. We had a ball meeting other moms (some I still keep up with), shopping on the square for Bid Day gifts & trying out several restaurants I had not had the opportunity to try before. Did we see our daughters much? No. Did they stay with us at the hotel? Absolutely Not! Were they excited beyond belief to share their Bid Day with us? Yes. My DD was thrilled that I was able to follow her around and be her personal photographer so she'd have good pictures to post later. Keep in mind though, some sororities don't have anything planned at the house cuz they take the pledges somewhere else. My friend didn't even get to go in her DD's sorority house. Whereas my DD's sorority had food for all of us and gave house tours. I am so glad I was able to be there and am going back this year to be work crew at her sorority house (which is NOT my sorority btw). Lodging is TOUGH (always) but 4 of us moms are renting a house a couple miles away.
