I'd watch it lol

Has anyone heard what quota might be? Just curious.

RFM typically uses quota ranges and nobody knows what quota actually ended up being until bid day results are known. But, the number of women going to Pref divided by the number of chapters is typically pretty close.

Just guessing for 2014 ......perhaps 65-67. This is complete speculation as we have no idea at this time how many will attend preference ceremonies.

I will be headed down to the "Loveliest Village" in just a few hours to spend the night with DD and help with Bid Day. It's been a highlight for me every year to be there and see the chapter's hard work pay off. It's true, the girls in the chapters are as nervous as the PNMs (but I agree that the moms are the most nervous of all!).

Does anyone know when they get Pref invites today? I don't think the first party starts until 11:30 or so. I'm so curious, but I hate to wake her if she's grabbing a little extra sleep. She texted yesterday that she would happily cut off both her feet, so I'm assuming the full day in wedges was a bit of a challenge.

I can answer my own question as she contacted me...it's 11 AM. Torture!

[Griffins&Quills]

If she's wearing heels for pref, tell her to bring flip flops with her (if she can) so she can wear those in between rounds and isn't stuck in heels the whole time!

I believe that is correct - 11:30 am. They will meet with their groups prior to that. Sleep is so wonderful at that point and I imagine some new feet would be too! I remember so clearly our daughter saying her feet were broken.
Just tell her be happy she wasn't there back in the day when we wore heels and hose not only for recruitment but also football games. I am sure we added slips too to make sure that Alabama heat really stayed on our bodies. What were we thinking?

[iamamom]

How long is each party today? I can't believe this is the day we have to wait so much longer.

What time do they hand out bids tomorrow?

[aualum]

Parties go until 5:30 today and the AU Panhellenic site says bids are distributed in the Auburn Arena at 10 AM. You may not hear from your DD for awhile after with all the hoopla and going to the chapter room. AU Panhellenic usually posts the bid list very soon after they are released. I believe last year they had a link to it on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram but I am not certain which.
Edit to add: I believe parties are 45 min each and their is time in between parties and also a break for lunch

OMG! You are so right! Heels and hose to football games in the heat! We had fun, but looking back I'm sure we were a hot mess!

Aaagh this day is dragging already! No news is good news at this point though.
My daughter reports that she has to relinquish her phone before her last pref party. She assures me that she will try to text me the pref invites at 11.

She told me last night that her pi chi has been writing her notes all week and how special she has felt through the process. The pi chis have been wonderful!

[DDDMomma]

The waiting combined with not sleeping is killing me!

[DDDMomma]

Well, my daughter has three for prefs...2 she likes and could see herself in, so that is a positive.
