RA positions are serious positions, why fake your way through them? Granted they get it, but the Deans should see that fake  isn't getting anyone anywhere. Then again colleges are just pathetic. loverofneji Posted at 11:31 am on Feb. 19, 2008 you have to do what u have to do MiNNiCK Posted at 11:30 am on Feb. 19, 2008 A lot of the RA's hired here at my school were completely fake.  Then turned into super bitches when given their power.  It was  pathetic.
