Yes it is very common! Most of my cousins went to Alabama and it was just kind of expected that their mom (my aunt) would go to Bid Day for at least a minute to take pictures and all that kind of stuff. Personally I would have died if my mom had shown up at bid day but to each their own!

And I don't know, maybe I'm just naive but I didn't get the feeling this was fake. In fact I'm guessing she's at OU and her sister is at Tulsa. I just had a feeling from the way she described them in the beginning and how she said it's not really a southern campus but still competitive. But like I said, maybe I'm just naive.

Plus with the comment about the Braz jeans she said she hates it when she goes in malls now (as an adult) and only sees Bratz jeans in her size. So I'm not sure why y'all would assume that means she had to have gone through rush recently.

I just think some of y'all might be too quick to judge based on how perfect she seems. I get the impression that most people on this site were the polar opposite of this particular PNM when they went through rush so they are having a hard time relating to her story.

Ok I'm off my soap box. Please continue!!!
