I will go for the run and I think the hiding must not be for that, but before that for some reason to try to find out the bid early?
I also did not know that I was supposed to send her something each day for the week. I did get the Lily Pad postcard saying that they had me covered for the week, but I was like, for what? So I was late to that! She did get her week of presents, I just didn't know until the last minute that it was a "thing". I did rush at a different college many years ago, and that wasn't a thing there or then.

We went up for the parents weekend in early September and I saw a sign in the Lily Pad's window about signing up for Rush Week gifts. I called from home when I got back and found out and signed up then, so around Sept. 9. the woman told me that moms had been calling to sign up since June!! But she said not to worry that there would be many more calling after me.
The only issue with calling later is that bid gifts are delivered to the sorority house in order that the order was made. So your DD will still get it but later.
I was thinking about going and have reservations that I can cancel, but I'll likely go. I know I won't see my DD very much either. But as I had also posted a few weeks ago, my D had issues with tire indicator light on her car even though she has brand new tires. So I may go up and get them checked out while she's doing rush stuff Sat, maybe visit with her Sunday morning, then see the run take a few pics then come home. I thought it would be easier to get on and off campus to get her car on a weekend without a home game. The other weekends we're going up later in fall will be for home games.
Even though there may be parents there for rush activities, it won't be as many people as for home games.
If that qualifies me for helicopter parent, so be it!
