My daughter went through FSU recruitment and pledged last year. I did not send a gift on bid day (but I did for initiation). My daughter never mentioned other girls getting parental bid day gifts, but her pledge class did receive welcome gifts from the sorority house. Last year at FSU on bid day, the Rho Gammas met with each PNM individually and gave them their bid and bid day t-shirt. So, PNMs were able to open their bid privately and be counseled by their Rho Gamma if necessary. The PNMs then go to the fountain and meet the rest of their pledge class.
