That's great advice on the University 101....Leadership (Round 2) starts today after that and continues through tomorrow, Philanthropy (Rd 3) is on Wednesday, Sisterhood (prefs) on Saturday, Bid Day on Sunday on the Horseshoe!
As I recall Thursday/Friday is some University orientation or sponsored events for freshmen.
Again, my DD is recovering from her summer internship, moving into an apartment, and jumping in to recruitment. Weather is appearing to cooperate and not be too hot and muggy....which is rare for Cola!!
One thing that seems to be changing is the number of families that arrive for Bid Day on the Horseshoe. When my DD pledged in Fall 2013, mostly locals (or easy drive) were there. Seems last year a ton of parents showed up....all well and good, just a change from the past!

Bid Day has since been moved, as of this year, to Colonial Life Arena.

You know, that's a good question. Unfortunately, I do not know the answer. If I find out, I'll let you know. If nothing else, a lot of times when no bid list is published, the different sororities will welcome their new members via message in the school newspaper.

Any update on how recruitment is going? Would love to hear from any PNM moms? Or from the other side perspective.

USC does not publish a bid list.....
Classes start tomorrow and today ended RD 3....
My DD says things are continuing to go well...(that's not much news in my book!!)...and I had forgotten about bid day going to the arena....
She's not talking much!!! I think she's still trying to get herself into the mindset after a very busy summer. Maybe I'll call her roommate!

Two day break for classes, with Prefs on Saturday and Bid Day on Sunday. No entry into the arena without a pass or ticket of some sort for those not a PNM or Active. It's a long, long recruitment!

I agree on the looong recruitment. What I have read here and herd it has gotten better. Starting earlier, before school starts.
Personally, I would love to see them make Bid Day few days before school. Why to much stress for girls going through, then to still have the first day of school and on top of that Welcome Week!

Can anyone confirm that they will not be running in the Horseshoe? Things have been moved to Arena? Sad,to hear a tradition has changed.

I am thinking that the heavy storms we're enduring in GA right now should be showing up in Columbia right about the time bids go out.

I got one girl I helped with getting recs. She was cut heavily, but I reminded her that it only takes one! I think she will be a happy young lady today. She didn't get a call, so that is good news...

Yes, it is in the arena. Apparently, it was rumored that some of the spectators have been known to trip the young ladies or grope them during Bid Day on the Horseshoe, which is why it has moved to Colonial Life Arena.

Not yet because Bid Day has been put off until 5 for mysterious reasons.
