When reading this I was definitely caught off guard by just how large greek life is even in the south. I am an RA in the freshman doors and a lot of my residents are in the rushing process so getting to witness all of this first hand has been quite the learning experience. I think that fraternities and sororities are definitely getting more involved with the digital age through social media and the spreading of their brand. Your article does a good job at encapsulating the spirit and reality of the rushing culture social media all throughout college.
I find this topic so interesting. I've been watching Bama Rush videos religiously since the trend started a few years ago (I love Kylan's videos, she seems like such a sweetheart!). I think you gave a lot of useful context into something so essential to many southern girls' lives. I read somewhere that some girls even hire "rush coaches" to help them get into the best, top-rated sororities at Alabama. I know a lot of girls at Penn State take it pretty seriously here as well; my roommate is helping her sorority with recruitment right now and I hear a new story every day. I just find it really facinating!
I was so consumed by this! When it first started surfacing my for you page I was fell victim to watching all the girls talking about what sorority was their top and then all the outfits. It was INSANE to see how much money all the girls were spending for the rush process. I also watched the documentary made about the process and although it was good I expected to be more about the start to finish of the recruitment process but I felt like it side tracked from that plot line.
