Bid Day is here, and I want to support what Thetaphimom has posted.

I've been reluctant to share this story, but now seems like a good time. My daughter went through recruitment "on the other side" a couple weeks ago. She was so excited to see the girl she preffed on the bid list. She was assigned to welcome this new member with her bid day bling, and she had visions of hugs, squeals, etc. in her mind. Well, guess who was the only one not to show up for Bid Day? How sad and disappointing to be rejected like that. She said she was standing there, looking for the girl, and then had to turn in her bling to the Bid Day coordinator. Fortunately, this new member reconsidered and accepted her bid the next day, but I think it's going to take my daughter some time to warm up to her again. All sororities offer opportunities for socialization, life-long involvement, and sisterly support during the college years.
