Planting a Lilac Branch

I was told that you can grow a lilac tree/bush by just using a clipping from the bush itself. Is this true? Our neighbor has the most beautiful DEEP PURPLE lilac flowers and I would like to try and grow a bush on our property. My sister lives in Minot, North Dakota and I would like to send her a clipping if this can be done.
