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!!!

It's not that I don't believe her, it's that after re-reading her posts, I'm just really put off with how she refers to herself and her family. I understand having pride, etc...but the way she writes is just so boastful and egocentric, it's rather unappealing...right down to the size 0 dress size and the reference to the "large" diamond drop necklace. Skinny and rich, cheerleader and prom queen. What's next? A Nobel Peace Prize?
I'll admit it's like a car wreck, though. You can't help but look...

While I did feel that most of the story thus far is pretty unbelievable, there was really only one thing that I was really thinking to myself- that's REALLY rare.
If you can believe it (I'm rolling my eyes at myself) I'm most surprised that her friend Lyndsay (sp?) from high school is the ONLY other freshman girl on their collegiate cheerleading squad. Granted, if you come from a competitve HS squad you will probably go on to a competitive collegiate squad. But geeze, they only took 2 freshman from the entire US and they just HAPPENED to be from the same school, nonetheless best friends? Maybe this was a minute detail but I think it's pretty rare for something like that to happen.
And, adpiucf, I was going to mention the part about their mother being a former Miss America finalist but didn't want to in case it was true!

I still want to hear what happens! Please don't stop telling the story because of everyone else's opinion! I need some entertainment today at work!

I have to go on record as wearing pantyhose in Texas during rush during the 80s. But that's just me - I don't recall what other girls did. I was just brought up to believe you always wore hose with heels, come hell or high water.

Well sheesh - i understand the not stalking.....but at least ihr proved that portion of her story is not false....Besides, she gave enough specific information that people COULD verify it were true, if people started to have doubts.
I'm undecided. I'm enjoying the story, far fetched as it might seem. I really hope she finishes it.
Recruitment - as you'll learn on GC (if you're not a regular posting under an alias) you have to take what some people post with a grain of salt.

The length and detail is still so entertaining. I am going be ticked if she stops writing. And I have to say that as much as we jump all over PNM's warning them about being PC on here I was surprised by how rude some of the replies have been. Discussing it via PM is one thing but publicly making fun is rude.
