It's not about ME-A mom's rush story

[FSUZeta]

At a reception, I was speaking with a dear friend of my parents whose children and grandchildren all attended Auburn and were all Greek. All the girls joined one of the most desired sororities, but one granddaughter joined a different, although equally as desirable sorority. The grandmother spoke in such hushed tones about how surprised they all were that she chose a different group. You would've thought there had been a death in the family. I was amused.

But I guess you have to be from the south to understand and not criticize. After all, we don't hide our crazy relatives in the attic; we put them in a rocker on the front porch with a glass of co'cola and a moon pie.

Oh yes we do! I have 100 of those stories!

I love this! It's that way in Texas, too.

Sciencewoman is very right in that this stuff doesn't just happen in the south. If I didn't have evidence of that I'd still be living in my hometown. I pick up a newspaper from there and it's just like being back in high school, except the first names are Emma and Braden instead of Lisa and Mark. (The last names are the same, natch.)
