Gifts for bid night?

My daughter is currently going through recruitment at USC. At Texas schools it is customary for the parents to send a gift and/or flowers to their daughters to be delivered bid night. There are local companies that have gifts ready to be delivered when the bid is announced. Is there any similar custom at USC that parents should know about?

Its been A LONG TIME since I was in school, but YES many parents did do this in the days following bid day. IMO sending the next day would be the best.

Whooooaaaa....

This was new to me. Panhellenic at SC changed the party schedule after the first "conversation parties". Perhaps this occurred because 850+ pnms registered instead of the expected 700. There are now ten NPC groups on the row.

The original announcement called for a party schedule of six this evening. Instead pnms are attending up to 8 parties. I heard this meant pnms who received eight invitations are leaving the last party at 1:00 in the morning!

Tomorrow will be Video Day with pnms attending up to 5 parties. Preference, with up to 2 parties, will be on Sunday morning. Bid Night will be Sunday evening at about 8:00 PT.

Have any of you heard of Panhellenic changing schedules in the middle of recruitment? Original plan was 10-6-4-2. New plan is 10-8-5-2.
