My Good News!
Well, if you want to hear good news I'll give it. My daughter was invited to 3 pref parties and all are her top choices! She is excited and nervous and all full of emotion. She isn't sure how she will pick one above the others because she loves all three....I have told her that I will take her out to lunch before bids on Monday but after that i will leave her so she can meet and bond with her new sisters. I am very grateful that Auburn welcomes parents to bid day, I would have liked that very much when I received my own bid. I do have one question for everyone....If my daughter does not receive a bid will she be notified ahead of time? It would be very sad to find out in front of everyone that you did not receive a bid. I am driving to Auburn with a group of moms and I guess we would like to know before we hit the road!

I'm pretty sure they let the girls know in advance with a phone call if they are released.
(In your situation, as long as she likes all the groups that she prefs, you don't have much to worry about. I think she'll be matched as a quota addition to one of her groups as long as she lists all three on the bid card. This would be true for any girl who maximizes her options through prefs. At this point, things look really good! )

IF she's not at the top of the bidlist - which could happen. 
Although, honestly, if you were #1 on the bidlist or the very last QA, it doesn't make that much difference in the longrun.

Oh yeah. She could certainly be number one.
I was just trying to articulate that for a girl who would be happy in any of the groups that she's preffed and has maximized her options throughout, there's nothing to worry about. Basically if you list them all, you are going to match to one.
The only girls who have to worry about getting the released from rush phone call before bid day at Auburn are the girls who don't maximize their options.
So if you are still in the game and you maximize, you're going to win.

This quote stands out in my mind.
At the end of the day, we do have to remember that no matter how stellar your daughter/sister/whomever is, going through recruitment does not guarantee a bid.

I can totally understand where these mom's feelings are coming from and I'm not even a mom. You just want what's best for your child, and if your child really, really wants to be in a sorority and they have a horrible recruitment it's going to hurt your heart.
That being said, OMG when I have kids and if I get a girl, I can't imagine her going to an SEC competitive recruitment. As a mom (and greek) I might just lose my damn mind. LOL.
Forget it, she'll be going to a state school. I know that U of A, ASU and NAU recruitment isn't as competitive as an SEC school.  .
AuburnMom- I hope Kate is having a wonderful time!!! Update when you can (no rush though).
