Alabama Rush TikTok
Link to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPAGHP6F6Ks
As an avid user of TikTok and a sorority girl myself, I was very excited in late August when the hashtag #BamaRush was starting to trend. Videos under this hashtag often girls with heavy southern accents explaining where they got pieces of their outfits for the highly anticipated Alabama Sorority Rush, other videos included girls discussing their experiences while rushing, and videos of girls who earned a highly coveted spot in one Alabama's elite houses "running home". The video above is a compilation of many of the videos that went viral during that time and gives an understanding of what it is.
The reason this video and many similar to it interested me so much is that I have the same shared experiences of these girls who are going through rush currently. I understand the excitement of getting dressed to go to the events and the happiness you get when you receive a bid from a sorority you wanted to get into. I also really liked it because it gave people in other parts of the world, like Canada, a peak into what Greek Life is and why people who join it are so connected and its because not only do we see each other all the time, but also we have those shared experiences which have developed a different culture from the average student's. I love this video and I am already looking forward to next year when it starts again.
