Agreed on the timing of bid day and the first day of classes. Very poor planning. The girls are exhausted and riddled with anxiety. And what about the poor girls who learned this morning that they did not receive bids? Talk about a terrible start to the semester. I believe it's also bid day for fraternities.
ugamama and 33girl -- those are very good points and could very well play into the decision. I guess there isn't an ideal scenario for everyone. When it comes to recruitment, you just hold on and, hopefully, ride to the end.
