I'm glad that they do that now...no one should go to 3 parties and end up bidless.

Good luck to all the PNM's tomorrow! Really looking forward to hearing from the parents of PNM's and the lovely ladies going through rush at AU on this board. Here's to hoping for some great news!

This has been the biggest rollercoaster of my life and I'm just the MOM!!

Hoping that the morning brings good news for everyone waiting for the final results of Auburn recruitment 2011.

(In my own case, that would be for my daughter, daughter's friend, and daughter's roommate.) I wish I weren't practically a continent away and could be there tomorrow!

P.S. wareagle93, thank you for the compliment. Auburn seems to be the most extraordinary place. I hope you have a wonderful college career there and a lot of fun with your fraternity!

Daughter went to her parties and her 3rd choice became her second choice. But still all 3 are great to have. Her pi chi told themto be at the field by 930 withthe reveal at 10am.

Her friend has bid day tomorrow also but at Valdosta (VSU). There are 6 groups there and she had one pref party. She finds out at 11 am EST.

Baby, (or should I say "honeychile") I'm standing by.
Sadly, due to last night's tragic events at the Indiana State Fair, my plans have been changed. (Sugarland and Sara Bareilles cancelled tonight's show that I had tickets to)

Bid Day

Well, this has been one of the toughest 24hrs I've been thru!! Emotions have run the gamut, but I do believe the sun came up this morning.

I drove to Auburn yesterday to be with A last night. I'm so glad I did. She looked pitiful. Swollen eyes, so hoarse...and a bundle of nerves. She went out to eat with me and then I dropped her off with her Pi Chi group since they were meeting later. She has already made some great friends in her group and they know what she has been going thru and have been super supportive.

A went to all three prefs, but it made her mind mind up even more that one group -Diamond - was the only one that she was supposed to be in. I told her I would support her 100% on whatever she decided to do, but to please consider maximizing and ranking the other two anyway. She made the decision - and suicide bided for Diamond. Her argument was that she knew their were other girls she would be taking a bid from in the ones she didn't want. It was all or none for her.

She spend the night with me and cried half the night. So scared. We talked about being prepared for "that call" her Pi Chi leader might make. A didn't regret her decision at all.

About 6:30 this morning she got a text from her Pi Chi saying that NO ONE IN THEIR GROUP WAS RELEASED!!

Tears of joy this time!! We both want to see that name on that sheet of paper before we feel completely safe. Also...I'm going to wait until later to reveal where A...and B ended up.

More to come!

Congratulations to your daughter! (and happiness to you)

I did exactly what your daughter did and although it was tough to do, I felt it was the only way. All or nothing and it was just meant to be.
