Haven't heard a thing about GPAs or how the girls stack up. I don't want to grill my D so much.
I am so glad Panhellenic changed the timetable for recruitment this year. It was hard on the girls to wait a week to find what houses they were invited back to on top of their studies was hard. I think it was harder on the PNM moms.
I wanted to add something else about bid day. If is just unbelievable. To stand at the top of the Greek Theater and watch the sororoities file in in their colored shirts, myriad of balloons and the PNMs at the bottom with their cards in hand is incredible. When the signal is given and the girls open their cards the sound is deafening. Of course, the boys hanging around add to the sound! Take lots of pictures or movies because your daughter will be so excited as she holds her card that she probably won't remember the sights and sounds. I even got to walk with D to her knew home and took lots of pictures outside the house. Of course, then I was oh so politely asked to leave so she could be with her new sisters.
I'll come out of lurkdom from time to time, but will leave it to the more knowledgable Gurus like Elephant Walk and Irishpipes.

I've been to Fayetteville, but never on Bid Day -- I would love to experience it!

(Sue, I do LOVE your name!)

Agreed. The Chi-O theatre just adds something great to bid day and with all the atmosphere, goodness.
