It’s officially August, and Bama rush is back, babes

As you may recall, last summer, the University of Alabama’s Greek-life recruitment process blew up on TikTok after potential new sorority members posted videos documenting the goings-on of Rush Week, from what they wore to parties to the highs and lows of Bid Day.
Beyond being addictive, last year’s Bama rush spotlighted the exclusionary aspects of Greek life, a system deeply entrenched in racism, classism, and sexism. The majority of Bama rush PNMs on TiKTok appeared to be white women, which is unsurprising: The University of Alabama desegregated its sororities only in 2013 after Black students on campus raised allegations of racism and discrimination, and things haven’t gotten much better since.
Needless to say, it’s all very fraught — though that probably won’t stop me or the rest of TikTok from getting hooked once again on the saga of whether Mackenzie Leigh rushed her dream house. Who needs cult documentaries when you have Roll Tide?
