I'm trying to decide if I want to make the trip twice in one week. Second time would be solo unless I can find another AU mom in this area who wants to go with me. If not, my son will be there and he knows that as soon as bids are handed out (assuming a favorable end to recruitment), he's to go straight to Tiger Surprise for some goodies!

I'm reading that schedule, thinking about the Alabama heat and humidity, and I'm exhausted. Recruitment not for the faint of heart.

If my daughter gets a bid, he may have to make pick up some goodies for me too.

Does anyone know the name of that store that has all the Greek presents upstairs? I was there maybe 5 years ago and loved it! It's near Toomer's Corner.

Having 8AM rush parties is pretty brutal. However, in that heat the morning parties will be much cooler than the pm ones.

At least the pref parties are not too early (they start at 11:30). I hate the idea of an early morning pref party.

Good luck to all of the ladies participating in rush! I will be moving to Auburn this summer and can't wait to observe the "show"!

Would that be Heartstrings?

I'm sure he'll be happy to.

When I was a freshman my parents sent me my myself to move into the dorms and go through recruitment and they came up at the end of the week for Bid Day. And we only lived about 3 hours away in Mobile, AL. I don't know if I could miss my (hypothetical) child's first move into the dorm.

Also if you can't be there on Bid Day but you want to get your daughter a Bid Day gift, several of the boutiques in Auburn will put together baskets to be delivered to your daughter on Bid Day. They usually advertise in the Recruitment handbook and can be pre-ordered. They take a copy of the Bid List to make sure each new member is matched with the right swag on Bid Day.
