Texas A&M 2012 Recruitment

[aggieAXO]

Does everyone go at the same time now? I think we did it by alphabetical order (if I remember correctly)-my last name starts with a B so I got to get up really early (yeah!!)and go make the cuts/see who invited me back. My roommate's last name started with an S so she got to sleep in some. It was very quick but we only had about 600 rushing.

I am not going to bid day because we have to be out of town.

Yes, they all pref right after the parties conclude. No alpa assigned time. In my opinion, that process is working fabulously! It all seems super organized and well run.

I agree, the process seems very well thought out! Yesterday, my daughter said that many girls had full or almost full party schedules. I love it that the houses didn't have to make severe cuts after Open House round!

From what my D says it is very well organized..

How are bids going to be distributed tomorrow? Do any of you know of a good florist or sorority store in the area that will deliver a basket of sorority goodies? I want to do something since I can't be there.

Try the Greek Boutique -they should have all kinds of goodies!

[collegemom1]

Thank you! Greek Boutique said as soon as I find out what house I will be able to order online and they deliver it on Saturday night. That will work perfectly.

[aggieAXO]

You are welcome. Also, James Avery has some cute sorority jewelry (though I think they stopped making the lyre I really like).

Down Texas Ave. where Bed Bath and Beyond, Charming Charlies, Jason's Deli and Coldstone Creamery is in that shopping center - that's where James Avery is.

Is it typical for parents to go to bid day at A&M?

[travelgirl]

My husband and I decided to stay home. It's been a stressful week. (a lot more competitive than we thought it would be). But here we are, on the other side, happy bid day everyone!

[collegemom1]

I agree that I am relieved for D that the week is wrapping up. It sounds like parents might have a harder time finding their daughter with bids being distributed at the Zone and then the girls bused to the houses. Who knows?

I would love to hear where the other girls end up. Happy Bid Day!
