I don't know for US but the Corsicans still do that. Else they are occupied at kiling the pig or the sheep. Actually, girls (and even women) from Corsica always have brothers, someting which is kind of bad news as they might be gorgeous.
The bright side of this is that you might get a strong support for the other women in the family. They usually get the last word.
