uaMomtoo, go for Bid Day!! It is quite a sight to see. They are having brunch in the sorority houses and all parents are invited. As has been said, you will not get much time with your Daughter. She will be having lots of pictures taken and be meeting all of her pledge sisters, but it is so worth it to see the Squeal Run. The Trunk is a fabulous place to shop. They will be packed but very well stocked. You can also call them and they will make up a Bid Day Packet for your Daughter. I think they get the list of who went where before bids are even opened because they are delivering to the houses within 30 minutes of the Squeal Run. They were really nice to deal with and I have even called since, during her initiation week, and they delivered to the house then too.
Yes, go for Bid Day (ok..I hate that...I still call it squeal day)! I promise, it is something you do not want to miss. Plus, even though you may not get to spend much time with your daughter, you'll get a chance to meet some of her new sisters, and get a feel for the house in general. Lots of other parents will be there, and you will be able to meet some of them as well. The Trunk is a great shop.
Thank you all so much for your insight into Bid Day at BAMA! I was planning on going whether or not she got a bid. She would probably need me more if she didn't get one but I will be so excited to see her face if she does. You actually brought tears to my eyes thinking about her running to the house and being with new sisters. I hope it comes true for her.

bamamom13---That sounds like an excellent idea! Do you happen to still have the phone number to The Trunk (or anywhere else like that in T-town) for all of us out-of-towners???
Google it. They have a web site. They will get the bid list and have pkgs. ready to go...Just get that Mastercard out and they will handle it all for you.
