I'm thinking of buying a plane ticket and going to Bid Day. I know it's different at every school, but at Arkansas a lot of families gather around the Chi Omega Greek Theater when the girls open bids. I heard some houses even have a brief activity with families. I know I won't spend much time with her if she gets a bid, but I could help her get ready for Pref night since her roommate isn't rushing.
Since I won't know until the last minute if Lindsey will be getting a bid, I think I'm just going to make the plans now. It might wind up being "Big Bowl of Ice Cream Day" instead of Bid Day, but I think I want to be there even more if it turns out that way. I told her that I would take her riding up and down Sorority Row to egg the houses if she doesn't get a bid. TOTALLY kidding so please don't worry, but it made her laugh.
Any other moms out there who went to Bid Day? Please describe your experience. Were you just in the way or is it a special memory?
