Wow, I step away for a few hours for a family event, and I apparently missed a whole lot.
Anyway, glad to see this thread is still open, and super happy to read all the happy updates for daughters, sisters, and rec girls! Wishing everyone the best for Bid Day and a lifetime of great friendships and traditions!
I, too, had to smile at the idea of moms at Bid Day - just doesn't happen. My mom was an ADPi at a southern school, and made sure I had all kinds of recs (also a little unusual at the time I rushed in the early 80s). Given the opportunity, she probably would've shown up for Bid Day!
And to the mom from out of state who was worried about everyone being from Illinois: we used to joke that as far as geographic diversity at Illinois went, students came from 2 places: "Chicago" and "downstate". But in the Greek system it was "Chicago SUBURBS" and "downstate". I was one of only 3 girls in my pledge class from the actual city of Chicago. But- it didn't matter at all! Once we were a pledge class, we bonded. If anything, girls from outside Illinois were like a prize because they were such an exotic rarity!
