U of Alabama Fall 2013 Dates

[SewSheKnits]

New here...OOS PNM daughter going through recruitment as I type. So far, so good. She had recs (2 each except for 2 with only 1) for all houses. Invited back to 11 and was very pleased. She was very sad for the girls in her group who only received 1-2 invites after the first round. So far, she sounds a bit tired but seems to have lots of positive things to say about the parties she has attended.

Any tips for moms attending Bid Day? I'm assuming she'll be able to send me a quick text letting me know where to go if she gets a bid? If she doesn't receive a bid, we're headed to a spa for some pampering for the weekend...or maybe the beach...something to get her mind set in another direction.

You might want to send your daughter some flowers -- a lot of parents send flowers or bid day gift baskets.

The local florists and gift shops will get the bid lists and deliver to the appropriate sorority -- but you need to order these in advance.

The gift baskets with sorority-themed trinkets seem overpriced for what they contain IMO, which is why I suggested flowers. I haven't used any of the gift shops recently so I'm a little reluctant to suggest a specific retailer, but other people here can probably make some recommendations.

Good luck to your daughter and hoping you all have a wonderful bid day!
