That's how we've been doing it lately, but it wasn't always that way, even just a few years ago.
The chapter I advise led the pref ceremony for my own chapter at Michigan when it recolonized a couple years ago. I couldn't go on the buses to that event due to Parents' Weekend at my daughter's college, and I was really, really disappointed when I found out that they were all there for the actual Bid Opening at the pref event and I missed it! They had announced that Bid Day would be the next day, so it was a big surprise.
So I was at a Pi Phi chapter house with my daughter, instead of celebrating the recolonization of my own chapter. It was just one of those times when you really wish you could be at two places at the same time. I really wish I would have been there, because all of the members I advise were so happy for me and so thrilled to be the ones to lead pref and partake in the recolonization rejoicing.
Whether it's tonight or tomorrow, WeaverD, I sincerely hope your daughter finds her home with Alpha Phi.
