Ladybug, If it make things easier for you as a mom waiting to hear, MOST campuses will call a young lady well before bid reveal if she is not going to be extended a bid. If your daughter is heading over to the bid reveal, most likely she found her home!

Yes, they would not have her come to the building if she did not have a bid.

DaffyKD, thank you! My head knows that, and thankfully, the phone has rung only once today and that was after I texted my daughter to see if she was up (since it was after noon I was confident she was). Rather than text me back she called and I could hear the nerves in her voice. My husband told me he could tell I've been stressed all morning and was relieved when I told him not long ago that since she didn't get a phone call this morning, she should be ok. He's still shaking his head about how different it is for guys than girls.

UTKALUM - thank you for confirming the phone call for no bid. It just makes sense to call. Imagine being the girl who didn't get a bid among the excitement of all those who did. I'm not sure my daughter would be able to recover from that.

Good luck to both mommy's. I was in your shoes last year. My daughter was cut from her legacy sorority, but would not have pledged that one anyway. She absolutely loves her sorority.

I have to tell you it has been much more stressful being on the other side for her this year. She hasn't slept all week, and is very stressed about hurting girls feelings along with the chapter getting the girls they really want.

Like all of you... I am waiting to hear from her about how they did overall.

Happy to hear your girls got their bids!

Morton - I tried to get over to your daughter today to introduce myself but it was crazy at bid day!

No. No daughter pledging for another eight years here. I was asked what chapter I am an alumni to.

AXO is a great chapter at UT.

I just got a text from my daughter, and she said that her sorority did 'fantastic.' I think she's going to need to sleep for a week:-)

She also just sent me a picture of the inside of panhellenic right now. It looks so exciting - and is as hot as all get out, she says. My guess is the adrenaline is flowing and they're all roasting - and when it wears off later today they'll all need to sleep for a week.
