Ditto - LOTS of girls families attend bid day, not to mention the swarms of fraternity guys there to check out the new member classes It's a lot of fun and definitely very hot! However, it certainly isn't mandatory for you to be there - I was from TN and my parents weren't there and it was ok for me - then sent me flowers that day and came a couple of weeks later. It's up to you and your daughter!
Yes, hordes of parents attend Bid Day now! Somebody help me out on this because they used to gather by Social Center but it seems they've moved? A carload of parents from here went last year and said it was a mob scene.
And like the other posters said, some don't attend and it's okay. Please let us know how your daughter's rush goes!
