Since I am the one that started the Mom @ Bid Day thread that is referenced here, I will share what my current experience has been in regard to this at UT Austin. Based on feedback from my daughter's RA, and the mom's of my daughter's roommate and suitemates, they ALL plan to attend bid as long as each young women makes it that far. Most said they would go either way....bad results...hit the movies...good results...celebration. Will any of us camp out? No. But be there...yes. As a matter of fact, I can' think of any mom I have spoken with who has a daughter going through recruitment that is not going to be there. Maybe it is just changing at UT. For me I yield to what my DAUGHTER wants. She wanted me close by for the good, the bad, or the ugly. Some moms and daughter just have that bond where it is the phone call that is made first. I don't think that makes me a helimom (although I have put my toe in the pond on occassion) as much as it makes me a compassionate mother who wants nothing but the best for her child. If she wants me there, and I can make it work...then so be it.

Back to the topic at hand...it's nearly 5PM ET. Has UGA indicated quota and whether all 17 sororities hit that number? I know Bid Day starts at 6. Where and when are the PNMs congregating?
I am here in Oswego, NY for work - keeping my fingers crossed for my sisters and the other women on South Milledge.
