Hello everybody I hope you’re all well in the summer of 2021 many people’s Tik Tok for you Pages were inundated with glammed up College freshman sharing their ootds for BMA Rush this actually wasn’t on my Tik Tok for you page I was not the intended audience and now that
I’m sat here filming this video I am probably the worst person to make this video I am not American and I’ve never even been to University before but also in a way I feel like maybe that’s a good thing because I can look at it a little bit more objectively because I didn’t
Experience this firsthand myself I had very little knowledge of sororities before researching for this video the only I guess experience I had with sororities was those frankly terrifying sority welcoming videos where they’re all piled up on top of each other in the doorway and they’re all clapping and chanting and
Singing No thank you and I was very aware of my own internalized misogyny when I was writing this script and I just want to let everyone know that if men were doing this I would be even more terrified frat houses are comparable to the seventh dimension of heal Bama rush
Or rushing is basically the sorority recruitment process and I do just want to preface that not all rushing looks like bamama rush and not all sororities are comparable or similar to these very wealthy upper echelon sororities in the Deep South and if I’m being honest I think that’s what really captivates
People the hyper femininity the wealth that’s why so many people were invested in bama Rush talk and I also think that politics plays a really big role in Greek life at the University of Alabama Alabama the state has been a republican stronghold for decades also guys like those dancing videos they’re pretty hypnotizing
Obviously because I was looking at so much B Rush content on Tik Tok researching for this video my for you page ended up just becoming Bama Rush Central and look I couldn’t stop watching them the dcy videos are fun and this year HBO actually released a documentary about bamama Rush titled
Bamama rush it was directed by Rachel Fleet and it was met with a lot of mixed opinions and mixed reviews I did watch the documentary and I am going to share my thoughts later in this video and before we go ahead with this video I would love to thank today’s sponsor love
And pies my new favorite cozy Autumn Vibes G now it starts out with your mom’s calf has been burned down and and she’s gone missing the stakes are very high and you have to rebuild her calf and her business by merging ingredients to create different dishes pies cakes Sweet Treats sandwiches and serving

It so let’s just bring it back to the basics for a second a sorority is a university Society for female students now maybe I’m just thick I thought that universities in America only had one sorority per campus but it turns out there are multiple sororities the University of Alabama has 22 different
Sororities in the UK it’s a little bit different our universities have societies instead of sororities and fraternities and a lot of these societies exist so you can Bond over a shared interest whether it’s sport or also to meet students who are like you there are lgbtq plus societies black and
Minority ethnic societies women’s societies but also if we’re being honest a lot of societies at UK universities exist so people have an excuse to meet up and drink together I know that a lot of universities in the UK have rowing societies but they don’t have a rowing
Team the campus isn’t even near a body of water it’s just an excuse for students to meet up and drink together but I was curious to know as someone who who hasn’t been to University why would women and college freshmen want to join a sorority I actually found this article on the pi
Beta fi website uh by the way there will be many mispronunciations of these sororities I apologize in advance I also found out listening to a podcast that the reason why it’s called Greek life and the Greek system is just because they use Greek letters it’s not I found
This out on the bench Topia sororities and fraternity podcast it did not originate in Greece it’s got nothing to do with Greece it is literally just because they use the Greek letters I’m like all right so here are 10 reasons by pi beta fi Pi beta Fe to join a sority
Number one join a community of like-minded women number two you’ll participate in service opportunities number three you’ll receive leadership opportunities number four you’ll find a sense of belonging number five you’ll receive academic support number six you’ll make your voice heard sorry I need to B oh my God number six number
Seven you’ll gain campus connections number eight you’ll have accountability that number eight that sounds scary that sounds awful number nine you’ll have access to a network of women number 10 you’ll join a Sisterhood now I’m sure that many women join sororities for these reasons but I don’t know something about seeing these
Really young girls wake up at the absolute crack of dawn to do their hair and their makeup wear their best Lululemon outfit stacks of jewelry from Amazon or Cartier spend all of the rush week in heels I don’t know I don’t think they’re doing that just for leadership opportunities especially when you find
Out the fees of these very wealthy upper echelon societies remember what I said earlier that this video doesn’t apply to all Societies or sororities I’m talking more about the rich ones so average members at an Alabama sity typically pay between $4,170 to $4,975 per semester and by the way that’s not
Even if you want to live in the sorority house if you want to live in the sorority house you typically pay between $746 to $944 per semester and I’m pretty sure that’s not including College tuition fees that is the same price as private school but these fees actually make a
Lot of sense when you see the sorority houses because I watched a few sorot House tours on YouTube and let me tell you not only are they bougie but they are massive they are absolutely huge now maybe my perception of what is Big has been warped by living
In London I see a two-bedroom flat with a balcony and I’m like oh my God so much space but no these STI houses are absolutely huge and they’re always very clean very Immaculate they’re decorated not to my specific taste I would compare the decorations to what I could imagine a republican senator’s
Wife decorates her house like all these houses are extremely clean you also have chefs that cook all of your meals you also have a full fridges of drinks and snack at your disposal but it does make sense why these sority HS are so big because I couldn’t find exact numbers of
How many girls typically live in a sorority house but I’m pretty sure it’s around a 100 girls live in these sorority houses sorry imagine having 99 flatmates it does start to make sense why these sorority fees are so high because you are essentially paying for someone to look after your child all
Sorority houses have sorority mothers which is an older woman who lives in the house and basically chaperon the girls around make sure they’re following all the rules and also fraternity houses do have frat moms as well also I know that title of this video does say sorority
Talk and Bash or whatever I’ve decided to call it but I will be talking about both sides of Greek life I will be talking about sororities and fraternities I will be focusing a lot on fraternities at the end of this video when we start talking about politics so
Yeah just bear that in mind this won’t be all about sororities it’s about both but let’s get back onto the topic at hand be my Rush sorry I cannot stop doing it that acccident and these very wealthy Alabama upper echelon sororities now I wanted to put myself in the
Position of someone who I’m a college freshman and I want to rush at the University of Alabama I wanted to know exactly what I needed to do to get into a sorority other than having Rich parents I did find plenty of YouTube videos from sorority sisters at the
University of Alabama which did actually really help me and I do just want to say that a majority of the videos that I’ve watched on YouTube on Tik Tok all of the girls do seem perfectly nice I don’t want it to seem like I’m like directly attacking these girls I’m really not I’m
More just analyzing breaking down and critiquing the system of Greek life at American colleges so let’s actually talk about the rushing process so it sounds like I’m saying Russian rushing so before you even rush you have to apply you can’t just show up you have to pay a
Fee but apparently the fee goes towards your rushing t-shirt which I think you wear on your second day sry I know so much about this so when you apply you have to send in your degree your GPA a picture of yourself your hobbies your interest also a video of yourself explaining why you
Want to be part of a sorority and all of the videos that I watched suggested getting a letter of recommendation from a past sorority alumni or like a past sorority sister so day one is admin day every girl told me that this is a very casual day you don’t need to dress up
Just dress in like a cute tracksuit or like a cute little workout set or something and it’s the most boring day you basically sit in a hall with a bunch of other girls and you watch 17 different videos from 17 different sororities explaining what they’re about who they are also their philanthropy
Their philanthropy I cannot say that word plays a really big role in like their sorority identity and from these videos you have to choose your top 12 sororities so you rank them all and then you have to rank your five backup sororities and the sorority rushing process is a
Mutual selection process so basically you have to choose them and they have to choose you to proceed in the rushing process with that sorority house so on day two you find out which sorority houses chose you and this is the day where you wear your rushing t-shirt and
A lot of the girls I was watching said pair it with a cute pair of shorts or a mini skirt and the reason why I’m bringing up clothing so much is remember guys the most popular B Rush content is the otgs clothing plays a really big role in the rushing process that’s why
Every video I watch a girl was recommending what I wear the overarching theme was to just always look good always look put together always look cute and presentable every bamama Rush Tik Tok video I watched a majority of the girls were in a full face of makeup
And had fully styled hair and wearing a very coordinated outfit stacks of jewelry they looked very put together on some of the days they’re wearing heels oh my God I could never 9 hours standing up wearing heels no see this is my shoe of choice for
Today also on day two you meet the sororities that you have chosen and they’ve chosen you and this is when the piling up in the doorway occurs and they do like the singing and the chanting and you basically just casually get to know some of the sorority sisters the girls
In the video told me that you would meet on average between two to three sorority sisters per sorority house and then there is the philanthropy round which typically lasts 3 days where you pair up with a girl from each sorority and you both discuss philanthropy you discuss the s’s philanthropy you discuss your
Own philanthropy and then the next round is The Sisterhood round for this round you have to drop five sority houses so you are left with seven and also remember that the houses can drop you and during this round from what the girls described it sounded like the DMC
Round like the deep and meaningful like you have a deep chat with all of the sorority sisters about what Sisterhood means to you you know like the nightmare conversations that you get trapped in in the smoking area of a nightclub kind of like those I found out some very
Interesting tips and advice on things that you should not talk about during your sorority rushing process in the BAM marash documentary they described it as the five bees boys booze bucks Bible Biden that basically means no talking about Fat Boys no talking about partying or drinking do not bring up religion
Unless you’re bringing up like oh I like to go to church on Sundays also don’t bring up politics and also don’t bring up money but it’s not exactly quite like don’t bring up money it’s just you have to talk about it in a subtle way you
Have to sort of implement it into the conversation which isn’t just like oh yeah my parents are actually on like 400k a year or oh my parents bought me this $7,000 bracelet no that’s Hy but what you do want to say is you want to
Say things like oh yeah I like to spend my summers in the Hamptons my family actually have a house out there or you know even just showing up with a full head of bleached perfectly toned bright blonde extensions it’s telling them something it’s telling them that you are
Rich without you actually having to say it something that did really really interest me though about this was the fact that you aren’t allowed to talk about drinking or boys because I feel like a big part of the college uh experience is going to parties and drinking and meeting Frat Boys and it’s
Just crazy it’s such a big part of the college experience and why so many girls are there obviously there for an education as well but they’re also there to have F but even if you mention it you will be dropped from all the soror houses because word spreads Alabama is a
Very conservative state so a lot of the girls who join sorores are there for the connections to the fraternities but you just aren’t allowed to talk about it and what these connections to fraternities mean for their future and I think there’s just such a big emphasis on Sisterhood with ins sororities
Especially post gender revolution which we’re going to talk more about later in this video you can’t even breathe a word about men despite the fact that a lot of these sororities in the Deep South and really right-wing states in America basically act as a second layer of gender socialization and are actively
Training up these girls to be appealing to men again we are going to talk more about this later but like guys I literally can’t can’t stop running my mouth like someone stopped me but a lot of these sorority houses allegedly have rules such as not being able to have wet
Hair on the first floor if you want to leave your dorm room you have to have two out of three done your hair done your makeup done or a proper outfit on I’m going to shut my mouth we’re going to talk more about this later and then
You have your pref night which is the night where you choose your top two sororities and then you go and visit both sororities and you tell which one you’re sort of feeling the most and then you rank your final two houses and then it’s the bid day where you receive your
Bid and you find out what sorority house you went to and then you do like the running to your sorority house where you will run across a field to your sorority house and then you will go out for dinner or you do some sort of fun activity and then you’re part of the
Sorority baby one important detail I missed is that if you are joining a sorority you are called a pnm a potential new member bamar Rush typically lasts 9 days jinkies that’s a lot of time as we all know bamar Rush took TiK ToK by storm in the summer of
2021 and it even created sorority micro celebrities such as Kyla and Darnell I’m not going to get fully fully into why so many people enjoy this content but I do think that there are like a few reasons which have been floating around in my head I think watching wealthy girls
Share their Lululemon ootds with their Golden Goose sneakers and their Cartier Bracelets it’s just interesting people have always been interested in the shenanigans of wealthy people so I think that’s just something that naturally Sparks human interest and curiosity also I think Bama Rush which is such a it’s
Almost a caricature of the rushing process it’s that extreme is so far removed from not only some people’s lives who aren’t even from America didn’t even go to university like myself but also some people that did Rush for a sorority Bama Rush could be so drastically different to their own
Sorority Rush experience that they just find it really interesting and they want to stay tuned remember only a really small minority of girls and women will apply to rush at these really upper echelon Upper Crust wealthy sororities and also remember that Greek life is infamously extremely private so we are
Being let in on a process which we have never been let in on before even if it is just a 10c OOTD on Tik Tok or a 30 second update of how someone’s rushing process is going that’s more than we have ever known before and I do think
That Bama Rush talk gave a pretty unique insight into the types of girls who want to rush for a sorority and want to join a top sorority at the University of Alabama and I think that’s why Bama Rush specifically blew up over any other rushing process in America because not
Only does it seem to just be on the extreme end of Greek live femininity wealth people even hire Rush coaches guys I found out about Rush coaches they are basically older women who used to be in sororities themselves who will Coach and train your child to join a sority
And make sure they do a really good job in the rushing process it cost $33,000 a pop to hire a rush coach and they are extremely popular and lucrative the University of Alabama has the highest s enrollment rate in the country the University of Alabama has around
12,000 students in which 39% are a part of Greek life so so much money is being funneled into the Greek system at the University of Alabama and the majority of the Bama Rush girls that I’ve seen on Tik Tok are just so perfectly glammed up their hair’s always done their makeup’s
Always done they always have an extremely put together outfit they are almost the picture perfect vision of a Southern bell and another thing that bamar Rush talk gave some really interesting insight to is how these women shop and how Americans shop in general I read a really interesting
Article on the Atlantic by Amanda mul where she talks about the fact that these girls are not stupid they know exactly how they need to look what they need to wear in order to be accepted by these top wealthy sororities rich people buy nice things and when they see
Someone else with that nice thing they recognize them as one of their own it’s very similar to what I said in my quiet luxury video to put it very very simply Rich recognizes rich and to quote Amanda mul directly from the article as in the case with any type of high status group
The best way to gain entry is usually to demonstrate that you already belong in this case that you understand the norms and expectations that knit the group together that’s why Rush outfits have long been the point of emphasis among P&M and why they have Primacy on Rush talk when you’re getting relatively
Brief periods of FaceTime to make your case for joining a socially and economically Elite group your clothing and appearance really matter a headful of obviously unnatural but perfectly toned bright blond hair for example cost hundreds of dollars a month to maintain its presence suggests both AFF fluency with the group’s aesthetic standards and
Access to the economic resources necessary to adhere to them at all times so to do $600 Golden Goose sneakers and a wrist full of $400 David yman bracelets stacked with one $7,350 Cartier love bracelet if your parents really want the love world to know that they’ve raised a queen bee and
Another phenomenon which Amanda mul spoke about which applies to all rich people not just sorority sisters is the fact that rich people have started wearing a real mixture of brands from the higher end to the lower end of their outfits anything from cier Golden Goose all the way to Amazon and Sheen in
Previous decades people’s shopping habits lined up with their economic status so workingclass people would typically shopped from thrift stores middle class people would shop High Street like Gap and Top Shop and upper class people would shop designer but fast fashion blew this thing wide open to quote Amanda mull again the internet
Has caused a kind of consumer context collapse you’re no longer seeking out products to evaluate and choosing which establishments you enter instead those products are pursuing your attention usually unbidden through targeted ads online and especially on social media and fast fashion is irresistible to even the richest of people especially when
Your peers are also wearing fast fashion and they’re shopping their jewelry from Amazon they’re buying mini dresses from Sheen it’s almost an unspoken permission and honestly if you are a rich person who refuses to shop from these Brands not for ethics reasons because you’re a label snob it honestly just comes across
At you’ve got your head shoved up your ass and not only that but designer brands have also started marketing towards the middle and working classes who want to buy designer pieces in order to appear richer so for the first time ever maybe people are beginning to dress
Really similarly to one another and it’s quite difficult to gauge someone’s class through their dress scents now I mean it’s not that difficult but it’s bit more difficult than it used to be now before we get into the nitty-gritty of this video the formative femininity racism politics I want to talk about the
Documentary so I watched the banash documentary that HBO released this year it was directed by Rachel Fleet it received a lot of mixed reviews and opinions and I can understand now that I’ve watched it I do have some positive things to say about it I thought that it
Was edited really well I thought that it was a good documentary to watch if you had absolutely zero knowledge on Greek life or sororities um and fraternities I thought that it provided a somewhat intimate insight into the types of girls that want to rush for sororities but
That’s sort of where my positivity ends I do have a lot of criticisms I just think that it really fell flat I think it’s a really big shame because I think that soror fraternity life is really interesting and I think that there’s so much to it maybe it was for legal
Reasons maybe it was because they had a pretty quick turnover in the documentary I’m pretty sure they made it in less than a year and something which is as secretive as Greek life you essentially need to do investigative journalism to find out anything about it so of course
Things fell flat and maybe they couldn’t put certain info in because they might get sued but they basically start talking about something really interesting and like messed up about Greek life and you’d be like oh my God and then it would just completely Veer off into a different topic especially
With the director she spoke a lot about her journey with her alipa and the fact that she had rushed for a sity and I thought there was maybe a place for that in the documentary but I didn’t feel like it was entirely relevant I’m going to be
Honest and she steered onto her alipa so often in the documentary like it was it wasn’t just once it was multiple times she would Veer off into her own personal story which honestly I didn’t feel like was entirely appropriate and it felt like she was kind of projecting quite a
Lot like it came across as a little bit too personal for my liking and it’s not like I don’t like a personal documentary I like it when documentary makers connect personally to what they are talking about it’s what I want to do in the future you know but I think that
There’s maybe a line and I think maybe I would have cared a little bit less about the personal interjections if the documentary had actually been Good something which I found very notable whilst researching and creating this video oh my God I just spatter on myself sorry is the notable lack of men and I know that that sounds really obvious like dur sorties are socities female students of course there’s going
To be a lack of men but a lot of female students in these upper ashon wealthy societies sororities rather do join sororities for the connections to the fraternities yet men masculinity fraternities is completely absent from all sorority content and the absence of men alongside with the fact that a lot
Of the sorority content and sorority spaces I’ve seen are just so hyper feminine all of the Gs are always glammed up hair done makeup done full outfit on stacks of jewelry I don’t think it’s particularly surp surprising that in spaces this hyper feminine misogyny unfortunately can run rampant
Because we do need to ask ourselves why are these spaces so hyper feminine and by the way I know someone’s going to say it this isn’t me trying to on hyper femininity I am hyper feminine but there’s a reason why my appearance is hyper feminine it’s because I feel the
Need to look like this to be treated like a human being but back onto the question we do need to ask ourselves why these spaces are so hyper feminine in the first players and The Bash document actually addressed some of the alleged rules Within These sororities such as
You aren’t allowed to be on the ground floor with wet hair if you leave your dorm room you have to have two out of the three things done an outfit on your makeup done or your hair done and also the widespread rules amongst all sororities that you aren’t allowed to
Have any alcohol in the house you aren’t allowed to throw any parties and you aren’t allowed to have any boys over to break this down I think it’s important again to look at the history of sororities I read an interesting dissertation by Sarah Bess Rowan which I
Will leave a link down below along with all of my other sources obviously where she explores the concept of nobler Womanhood within sorority life and culture the first ever sorority house was founded in 1870 at the depor University it was named Kappa Alpha Theta and these sororities were created so women in
College education had societies to go to because they weren’t allowed in the mail societies but it’s not only that to quote Sarah best Rowan the theater Founders found their femininity attacked and their morals questioned both within and outside the classroom simply because of their college attendance which challenged the women to show themselves
And those around them that college did not unsex them and thus nobler Womanhood was born I’m going to read this in a posh accent because I feel like the person that wrote this is probably POS the object of this Society shall be to advance the interest of its members to
Afford an opportunity for improvement in compositions and debate and elocution to cultivate those social qualities which become a woman and to provide for its members Associates Bound by a common interest don’t get me wrong I’m sure that these sororities were created in the 1800s were for women who were in
College education to find Community with one another and also sororities actively encouraged women especially in the 1800s and the early 1900s to complete their college education because it was a harsh environment guys it was literally the 1800s but a large part as to why sororities were founded was for these
Women to defend their own femininity attending college with so many men in the 1870s really pushed the bounds of what femininity was at that time again to quote B Rowan this function of Shame as part of the foundational emotions of theater is important because of the way it seeks to to reestablish normativity
Hence the phrase nobler Womanhood was added to theer’s tenants and of course it’s understandable why the founders of theer felt their femininity was attacked by attending college it was literally the 1870s but the problem is is that theer’s tenants have not changed since the 1870s and still exist throughout
Theer’s rituals and formal meetings and this is where the problems come in theer was founded on the theater Founders desires to defend their own femininity and now this is colliding with modern day college campuses post gender revolution post sexual Revolution post multiple waves of feminism and I found a
Really interesting article titled the gender revolution on Greek row I actually discovered this on Tik Tok from this Tik Tok user here I actually got the entire inspiration for this video from this Tik Tok in this article and this study researchers compared sorority sisters in the 1970s to the 2010s and
Asked them basically the same set of questions to see how attitudes have changed how social norms have changed and it’s very interesting both women then and now spoke about the membership requirements of sororities being dependent on beauty wealth and implicit whiteness and also the fraternity men controlling huge aspects of their sexual
And social lies not only do they throw the parties they also provide the alcohol and they can only sleep with fraternity men in frat houses because men aren’t allowed in sorority houses the difference is that in the 1970s the women sort of just accepted that it was
Just the way it was meanwhile in the 2010s women are a lot more vocal and we speak up more about it and will say that it’s just not fair that it’s actually really sexist that these rules still exist the difference is is that in the 197s these power imbalances were just
Accepted as the norm and in the 1970s admissions into top sororities were dependent on beauty wealth and implicit whiteness which is the same in the 2010s but now being career driven and having Hobbies is really really important but having career Ambitions in the 1970s was actually seen as unnecessary at the
Least an active hindrance at the most Beauty and wealth and the right connections and implicit whiteness does play a really big part in getting into the top sororities today but now is expected to have career and Ambitions to have hobbies you’re passionate about to have a few philanthropy notches on your
Belt there is a much higher pressure to being it all and it actually sorry doing Ariana Grande and it actually reminds me a lot of how the women’s drive to join the workforce because women actually do more labor now than men because even though they work fulltime and 45% of the time
In the UK make more money than they male Partners they still pick up a majority of the household chores the division of household labor has not changed all that much since before women went to work um so women actually do it’s called the double shift where they do a lot more
Household labor child labor so even though obviously women being able to work is good there’s not me saying that women shouldn’t be going to work but it’s almost driven like women’s rights in a little bit of a circle do you know what I mean like I don’t know I feel
Like I’ve been mugged off a little bit and the women of the 2010s did complain that the rules between the sorority houses and the fraternity houses were unfair and sexist as they are fraternity houses are allowed to have alcohol they’re allowed to throw parties they’re allowed to have girls stay over but
Sorority houses are not allowed any of that and not only is that unfair and also sexist and misogynistic but also it’s actively endangering female students the only times that they’re allowed to party consume alcohol and have sex is with in fraternity house walls and the women can’t keep an eye on
Each other the sority sisters can’t keep an eye on each other at all times the rates of sexual violence in American colleges is actually quite horrific to read you are three times more likely to rape someone if you are part of a fraternity house and I just found this
On the pub med. ncbi a total of 29% of sorority women reported having been sexually assaulted while in college four times the rate among nons sorority members perhaps this this isn’t controversial and this is because fraternity brothers are far more likely to have each other’s backs and to have bro code with each
Other and I feel like broo should only apply to like oh don’t my ex nor oh if I rape someone don’t tell anyone about it so the only time that these girls can party consume alcohol have sex is within the walls of a fraternity house where all the fraternity Brothers
Have the control this absolutely leads to an increased risk of getting spiked or rof feed this absolutely leads to an increased risk of sexual violence another thing in this study which I found really interesting was the reasons between the women in the 1970s to the
Women in the 2010s as to why they wanted to join a sorority in the 1970s women did site wanting to make friends as a reason but they also openly spoke about the fact that they wanted connections to the fraternity houses they wanted access to the fraternity houses in order to
Find an appropriate boyfriend and not only that but having an overt interest in socializing with the fraternity houses was actually seen as a good thing during the rushing process and if you didn’t mention the fraternity houses that was seen as a little bit of a red
Flag so an active and overt interest in fraternity houses was seen as one of the necessary like characteristics and traits to join a sority along with good looks and wealth and family background and also a letter of recommendation and also it was sorry you can tell I’m sorry
Guys I get really really fidgety when I’m sat down for a really long time also it was very socially acceptable to prioritize your dating life over your friendships with your sorority sisters nowadays even though many girls and women join sororities for the connections to fraternities it is seen
As very taboo very socially unacceptable to even mention even breathe the word about fraternities during the rushing process and it will lead to you getting blacklisted from a majority of sororities to quote the study in both historical eras a woman’s looks and perceived sociality remain crucial for
Being invited into a sorority what has changed is how openly women are willing to talk about this Criterion also sororities are ranked hierarchically so the top sororities are far more likely to recruit the prettiest girls the skinniest girls the smartest and most driven girls because they want
To remain the top sorority and they also want the top fraternities to be interested in them to invite them to things and also it’s not just about fraternity houses as well a lot of these girls that they recruit end up becoming their connections in life so you want to
Recruit someone who is not only pretty but also rich but also comes from a family background of politics because you want to get into politics and it’s really good to have that connection remember in the modern day it’s mostly about who you know not what you know and
This tier ranking system hasn’t changed much from the 1970s to today it’s just the difference is women are now expected to be career- driven and ambitious the new sority women must embody traditionally feminine traits plus the traditionally masculine drive for Career Success also fraternity houses often have ranking systems where they rank
Each other based on who has hooked up with or is dating the hottest or girls from the top sororities fraternities have spreadsheets of the girls they’re taking to formal they give points for who brings the hottest girls to formal and points for rank like how many women
In one top tier sorority are coming to our formal and how many women in other top tier sorority are coming to formal and I know fraternities have W’s and L’s wins and losses of the week they do it in chapter which is a meeting by the way
It’s like W of the week is who hooked up with the hottest girl or the top tier girl and then L of the week is who hooked up with the ugliest girl sorry that’s absolutely horrific that’s horrific and something which I was actually very curious about is attitudes
To promiscuity in the 1970s versus the 2010s especially because sorority houses still have the rules of no boys no boys allowed women are still concerned with their reputation it’s just what is considered promiscuous has changed in the last 40 years is the 1970s study took place amidst the sexual Revolution
So sorot sisters were having sex with their boyfriends they just had to be very subtle about it during this study one girl had actually been expelled dropped kicked out of her sorority because she’d had a sleepover at her boyfriend’s apartment nowadays what is considered as promiscuous has obviously
Changed a lot of the time soror sisters sexual lives are actually uplifted and celebrated but you just can’t be too sloppy with it so that’s such a horrible word so basically if you are having lots of sex with your boyfriend good if you are having a few situationships in a row
Good if you are having a cheeky one night stand here and there good but if you’re having way too many one night stands or drunken hookups in a row that is seen as sloppy and a bad representation of the sorority and you could get dropped from your sorority for
That and in the 2010 sorority sisters are very vocal about how I mean at least in this study were very vocal about how unfair it is that women are not allowed to have alcohol or parties or boys over and they are very vocal about the risk of sexual violence if these rules aren’t
Changed and to quote the study again recently some members of Greek organizations including those at Vanderbilt Duke Emory American University Northwestern and the University of North Carolina have begun to revolt according to Marcus the trigger for the Revolt was a recognition of racial inequality in the historically
White Greek system but the rhetoric of Revolt includes misogyny as well the current movements to reform or destroy the Greek system is a powerful lever campus administrations and leaders can use it to change formal rules and regulations decrease racial bias in Recruitment and other areas and end the regulatory power asymmetries that have
Always existed between fraternities and sororities such policy changes could reduce the power of the patriarchal bargain which requires women to maximize their well-being within the constraint of an asymmetrical power relations with men it is about time that universities take gender equality seriously now despite evidence that many people who
Are part of Greek life in school and the sorority system are beginning to revolt against the Greek system that probably isn’t happening at the University of Alabama because last year or is it this year sorority enrollment rate at the University of Alabama is higher than
Ever and I’m sure that is partly to do with the phenomenon and success of Bama rush and Bama Rush talk but as I said earlier the University of Alabama B Rush takes place in a Republican stronghold state in the Deep South a lot of these people who are enrolling in sororities
And fraternities and are throwing themselves into Greek life are from very white wealthy families whose parents are the types to Fork out thousands of dollars for them to live in a fraternity or sorority house and something which I actually forgot to say in this video
Even though it was in my scripts this is very frustrating but something which makes these sororities and fraternities ones that cost $4 to $9,000 a month to join in States like Alabama is the fact that the Gap and the disparity between the rich and the poor is already so
Large in these states Alabama used to be the poorest state in America now it is the second poorest I think it’s got to do with low uh property taxes so a lot of people rich people move there so they don’t have to tax their properties and
There’s no money going into the state so it just ends up being this toxic cycle of the poor stay poor and the rich stay really rich it so it almost makes these sororities and fraternities even more Sinister in a sense where the gap between the rich and the poor is already
So large and that University and colleges like the University of Alabama only make it larger so of course they’re not going to go against the status quo not only is going against the status quo of sorority and fraternity rules it could possibly jeopardize their connections they could get dropped from
A sorority for speaking out about it they could lose their fraternity connections and these sororities and fraternities do play a really big part in the trajectory trajectory is that the right word trajectory the trajectory of their future but also they’re not going to go against the status quo because
They’ve probably been raised in really traditional families and with Traditional Values and it’s all they really know maybe sorority sisters at the University of Alabama or those sort of very right-wing Republican uh Deep South states are less inclined to discuss the SE seism and misogyny ramp up within the Greek system because they
Want to reap the benefits from being in the Greek system they still want to reap the benefits of the social capital of being in proximity with fraternity brothers because again a lot of these women will meet their husbands at college and they want to meet someone
From a fraternity who is from a wealthy family who has good connections who could set them up for the Future some thing which is really noticeable from the GetGo of watching any Bama Rush content is the complete lack of nonwhite rashies and P&M and sorority sisters and I’m sure this doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone but Greek life in America has very deeply entrenched roots in racism Greek life
Was founded in the 1700s the first ever sorority house was founded in the late 1800s this system and these houses were founded on the basis of exclusion only white and wealthy people were allowed to join them a lot of fraternities had exclusive in writing Whit’s only policies both fraternities and
Sororities were founded pre- integration the first ever sorority was founded just five years after slavery was abolished in the US and this doesn’t just apply to the University of Alabama but I do think that there is a reason why racism tends to linger in the Greek system in States
Like Alabama and not just linger but run rampant in the Greek system the University of Alabama actually had to be integrated by force in 1963 nearly 10 years after the landmark Brown V Board of Education decision which outlawed segregation in education and after that decision was ruled Alabama Governor
George Wallace had promised his supporters segregation now segregation tomorrow and segregation forever and I say segregation now segregation tomorrow and and segregation forever Governor George Wallace refused to integrate the University of Alabama so much so that on the day of integration in 1963 he stood and physically blocked black students from
Entering the Enrollment Office President John F Kennedy had to deploy the National Guard to integrate the University of Alabama the bamar rush documentary shared a story about one the only black sorority on sorar row at the University of Alabama found a cross burning in their yard in I think it was
1986 and it wasn’t even where they lived it was one of the residences they were considering for their sorority house and an article that I used to research for this video was America’s most powerful fraternity by philli Vice I am going to be referencing this a lot later in the
Video this article is from 1992 Philip Vice went to visit the sties and fraternities in the University of Alabama and write an article about it and he stayed there for a couple of weeks and this article by the way I found out more about sorority and fraternity life and Greek life in the
University of Alabama more from this article than I did from The Bash documentary take with that what you will but whilst philli was visiting these sororities and fraternities multiple of them had been embroiled in racism scandals two white sorority sisters went to a swap party dressed in blackface
They were dressed as pregnant black women and the sorority party theme was who rides the bus and as soon as word of these offensive costumes overtook campus and word spread students pointed out that a local photography agency had multiple pictures of Greek life students in blackface one student had even
Dressed as Rosa Parks and Philip had heard about this imp passing and one of the fraternity Brothers told him did you know Rosa Parks used to be claude’s daddy’s maid and as Philip Weiss writes for Esquire the Greek life students publicly condemn this kind of Behavior but behind closed doors not so much
Philip spoke to fraternity brother Chad green Chad had publicly condemned the girl’s costumes but between bites he says not that they did anything wrong many Greeks share that feeling privately they say that the Capa Delta pledges were just trying to be creative maybe they weren’t the prettiest girls so they
Found a different way of getting attention one Sigma Chi said it’s not that they woke up that morning and thought how am I going to insult the nword today despite in the ’90s many Greek life students is not thinking that blackface was that wrong it didn’t mean that they weren’t embarrassed especially
Because these racism scandals led to a March down sorority Ro in protest a lot of these fraternity Brothers believed that these kinds of matters should be handled privately that’s just a little hint of what we’re going to talk about later by the way the first sorority at
The University of Alabama was founded in 1904 but not a single woman who was identifiably black was offered a bid until 2003 nearly an entire Century later and I’m not sure whether I would actually mention this in the video yet but the sororities at the University of Alabama
Had to be integrated by force in 2013 this is after the student paper the Crimson white published a story about a black student not receiving any bids despite her really high scores during the sorority rushing process and upon further investigation multiple sorority sisters claim that it’s alumni who stand
In the way of them accepting black students they will pull black students names from the pool before they can even nominate them to be part of their sororities and if they try to push on it they will threaten to pull their Financial Funding and backing and maybe
I’m negative but at first I thought this sounded like a little bit of an excuse like I was like oh yeah of course you’re going to blame the people who are still attached to the sorority but not part of the sorority but I did read another article Philip vice’s one um which did
Back up the claim that alumni are behind um not integrating sororities and fraternities everyone at Alabama says the fiercest opponent opponents of integration are alumni especially the men from small towns who are most involved who come to the homecoming games and join their fraternity houses the ones who say that after family
Fraternity played the biggest part in their success Alabama vice president Harry not says it was alumni who blocked one fraternity he won’t say which from accepting an Asian-American a 2014 Mary CLA story reported that none of the 16 panh helic sororities offered a bid to a black student despite the fact that 90%
Of women who rushed are offered a bid in response to this the University president Judy Bonner mandated some rules that to alter the recruitment process so more non-white students um could be accepted and offered bids into sororities she changed the recruitment process so members can be invited at any
Time rather than just during rush week and also to expand the signs of the pledge class to include more diverse members and even after integration of the sororities was enforced in 2013 racism still persisted in 2014 a Snapchat of a chei Omega sorority sister bragging that her chapter didn’t accept
Any black members into their pledge circulated around campus in 2018 a student was expelled from her sorority and the university after a video of her circulating where she says I love how I act like I love black people because I hate nword in 2021 two members
From the same sorority one being the president were expelled from the sorority after sending racist text messages into a group chat and issues and instances of racism are not just exclusive to sororities it’s rampant in All Greek life fraternities were literally founded on the basis of white supremacy in 2015 two Sigma Alpha
Epsilon members were expelled from the fraternity and the University of Oklahoma for singing a racist chant and in 2019 Syracuse University had to suspend all fraternity activity after a black student was sub subjected to a racial epithet and this racism and bigotry led to the foundation and
Creation of black sororities I read an article on Good Morning America titled the divine nine the history of black Greek letter organizations the divine nine according to the National panh helic and Council website evolved during a period when African-Americans were being denied essential rights and privileges afforded to others racial
Isolation at predominantly white colleges and social barriers such as class also created a need for African-Americans to align themselves with other individuals sharing common goals and ideals and some famous alumni from black sororities is KLA Harris John Lewis Angela Basset sh Le Ralph Michael Jordan and Colin kenck they were all
Part of D9 organizations Lawrence Ross who is the author of the divine nine the history of African-American fraternities and sororities who joined the alpha fi Alpha fraternity Inc in the spring of 1985 says they understood that their education was not enough they had to work as a group to lift up people who
Didn’t have those circumstances and at the same time fight for themselves and discussing his own fraternity experience he says I basically looked at Alpha as being the conduit for what I wanted to do with the African-American Community which was basically internal growth for my own self working with brothers who
Actually have the exact same sort of mentality and now there are nearly 2 million pan helenic sorry I can’t pronounce that word panh helenic council members and it is often a gen generational tradition amongst family members a lot of people will join the same sorority that their mom on their or
The fraternity that their dad joined and although these sororities and fraternities they were created because of a joint struggle of racism and discrimination members who have joined these organizations have become changed makers in stem programs media Finance other professions and have left a lasting Legacy in today’s society Lawrence Ross adds fraternalism is
Designed to be a lifelong commitment and a lifelong commitment is not simply the networking between members but using that commitment within the organization to push and accelerate the African-American Community forward in this country which is almost always under attack and to quote Tyler McMillan he is the director of Youth and college
At the National Action Network and he joined fi Beta Sigma in the spring spring of 2018 our organizations have always been at the front line of social change and that does not change today I think that speaks to our Rich Legacy and we do that Justice by continuing to carry that mantle and
Unfortunately these real horrific instances of racism within the white Greek system it’s not exclusive to the white Greek system it seeps and bleeds into other aspects of American Life specifically politics I would like to disclaim before you go into this segment of the video this is all alleged this is all alleged alleged
Alleged alleged allegedly allegedly alleged yes in the bamar rush documentary The mystifying machine is mentioned by one of the soror sisters that Rachel is interviewing it was brought up very briefly obviously as per the bamar rash documentary Mantra but it’s mentioned as a secret society with the Top members from each top sorority
And fraternity they all meet up in one of the basement of the fraternity houses and they rig all of the elections basically and the B documentary also shares a story of one not independent candidate for like I think it was SGA presidency and the banash documentary shared the story of one uh independent
Sgaa candidate who had her house broken into and was assaulted by someone who she believed was of the machine but there is so much more to this than the banush documentary shared are we shocked the article that I used to re did you guys just hear that that was
My stomach sorry what the the article that I Ed to research for the segment of this video is the most powerful Fraternity in America by Philip Weiss which I mentioned earlier in this video honestly this is a really good article it gave such a honestly a better
Insight into the white Greek politics um of the University of Alabama than the bam Rush documentary did in like a 2hour documentary I know I think it was an hour and a half in bamar Rush’s defense philli visited Delta to Delta which is an alleged machine backed fraternity and
He spoke to one of the fraternity Brothers Chad green who was also allegedly part of the machine and he also spoke to other fraternity brothers and sisters he also spoke to other independent student politics candidates people politicians on campus as well Weiss describes the machine as the
Organization Chad won’t talk about is a secret society that for 80 years has controlled student politics at the University of Alabama the machine its real name is Thea new Epsilon whose Greek letters spell out one and it acts as the political arm of 27 leading fraternities and sororities at the
School machine Representatives meet secretly once a week there are 30 or so members Chad is said to be one but most Greeks on campus don’t know who their rep is on Election Day in February the machine buses it voters to the polls and penalizes people who don’t vote almost
All the time it wins that’s why it’s called the Machine by the way guys because it literally works like a machine on Election night it spends a chunk of its $27,000 secret Budget on a blowout party at the JC Fairgrounds for the fatalities and sororities the machine reps can be
Seen there ducking in and out of a tent with a private bar some of them wear a laple pin with the Thea new Epsilon logo a skull and crossed keys in this 1992 article students who were part of Greek life only made up 20% of the 19,000
Member student body but they managed to control almost all student government offices 40 of the 50 student senators were machine candidates and controlled the Student Activity fee budget of nearly $300,000 and remember guys student politics isn’t just isolated to universities student politics seeps out into real politics because student
Politics is just child’s play for real politics many many leading politicians in Alabama are alleged products of the machine US senator Richard sby is allegedly a former machine president his office denies this claim and I just want to reiterate here that only 6% of women
And 7% of men were a part of Greek life at their universities on campus yeah let me read out some crazy statistics to you guys yet fraternity men make up 85% of US Supreme Court Justices since 1910 63% of all us cabinet members since 1900 and historically 76% of US senators and
That’s not counting the 18 ex frat US presidents since 1877 that’s 69% in the 113th Congress alone 38 of the 100 senate members came from fraternity and now sority backgrounds as does a full quarter of the house is there something inherent in the fraternity culture that sends its members to the country’s top
Echelons Atlantic that’s where I got all that info from with peace and love there is nothing inherent to the Greek life system that breeds Geniuses it’s just to get into the Greek life system you already have to be from an extremely wealthy family and if your family is wealthy they’re usually well connected
Too 120 of the Forbes 500 CEOs in 2003 were part of fraternities it’s not got anything to do with the fact that fraternities just breed Geniuses it’s got to do with the fact that fraternities is only allowing already rich people but if we steer back to the machine remember how I mentioned earlier
That a lot of fraternity Brothers believe in private matters being handled privately things being handled behind closed doors well that was the whole reason why the machine was created that’s the whole basis of the machine Foundation the machine took root at Alabama a 100 years ago with something
Of the same idea about politics disputes should take place behind closed doors the boys who started the fraternity nationally thought it seemed unseemly that fraternity men would fight openly for campus leadership positions the men of one would quietly seek Future Leaders when they were sophomores and then sort
Out campus honors among them the fraternity urged its chapters to start student governments as Proving Ground over the years one had varying degrees of success at keeping itself a secret but with the onset of the 60s one had ped out except to Alabama where one had grown into the machine the machine was
Exclusively male up until the 80s when they started letting in sororities and this was not out of the of their own Hearts it’s not like they were like wait a minute guys this feminism stuff kind of has a point it was because in the 70s the sorority sisters started to design
More power and started running independently um for sgaa Student Government positions and the Machine knew that they had to nip this issue in The Bard it was specifically after Cleo Thomas won SGA presidential election and once the machine invited sorot to join any sorority sister that wanted to support an independent candidate was
Threatened with sorority expulsion and the machine used their Camp as political powers to benefit the sororities in 1998 the sorority houses they were running into a problem they were losing out on homecoming queen uh in 1986 and 1987 black women won homecoming queen through a block vote um and they weren’t happy
About it so they brought it to the machine and the Machine introduced student legislation to break up block voting this bill didn’t even make it into student legislation yet it still successfully changed the rules around block voting and it put the homecoming queen back into the sorority sister’s
Hands so I thought it might be I don’t know helpful interesting to make a little timeline of alleged this is alleged machine behavior and I do just want to say that the University of Alabama still denies the existence of the machine which is pretty crazy so in
1976 Cleo Thomas was elected as SGA president and she is still the only black candidate to ever be elected for sgaa president after her election as many as 15 men cloaked in white sheets burned crosses threw bottles and chanted various revolutionary tunes and an 8ot cross was
Burned in her front lawn in front of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house in 1983 newly elected SGA President John Bolis an independent candidate discovered that his home phone had been tapped well two students later confessed to the FBI and the VA administrations that they were the ones behind tapping
The phone and they were believed to be part of the machine in 1986 the machine broke into independent SGA candidate John Merl’s office one member of Mar’s campaign was allegedly beaten outside of va dorm and was hospitalized with rib injuries another member was ran off the road whilst driving to campus and Merl’s
Wife received rape threats in 1989 Babino pizza was forced to close after the owner’s son Joey veli who was an independent candidate ran for SGA president Babino Pizza previously used to get really big orders from the sororities and fraternity houses for parties and both sorority and fraternity houses boycotted the pizza joint which
Led to it shutting down and Joe velli ended up losing his campaign and nearly everyone on campus says that there was corruption because he was such a hugely popular candidate and Joey vaselli told the Crimson white student newspaper that he received multiple violent threats during his campaign a couple of people
Jumped one of my campaign workers at his apartment my mother was threatened in an extreme amount we had bomb threats he said in 1993 minda Riley who was a Greek candidate but she wasn’t machine backed was assaulted in her home by a knife wielding man with panty hose pulled over
His face the attack left her with a golf ball size bruise on her cheek a busted lip and a knife wound on the sign of her face minda’s brother says he had no doubt the machine were behind the attack saying that minda had had a crossband on
Her lawn with two notes which read tonight crossbones burn the next time your skeleton head will burn and machine rules the University of Alabama actually ended up suspending the student government Association until 1996 for 3 years after this assault in 1999 Fabian King canza who was a black independent
SGA candidate was the target of multiple racist threats which he believes the machine was behind Kanza posters were vandalized with racist graffiti and he received multiple threatening phone calls one where someone threatened to hang him from a tree in 2001 Melody twilly wanted to be the first ever black
Woman knowingly accepted into a right sority but was dropped 2 years in a row and many people believed the machine were behind it in 2003 Carla Ferguson became one of the first black students to ever be knowingly accepted into a sorority but her victory was met with allegations that the machine offered
Membership to a lower ranked sorority if they accepted a black student in order to try and fix their racist image according to a one comment on a Greek student messaging board the machine is getting sick of everyone telling them how racist they are so they decided to to desegregate the soror system this
Year however none of the top chapters wanted to risk their reputations by bidding an African-American student so they wanted one of the not so prestigious authorities to do it instead they promised gamma fee entrance into the machine as bribe which would theoretically raise their social standing on campus in 2004 emiline aiki
Who was part of a machine back sorority ran for an SJ position without the machine’s position permission according to emiline who told the Crimson white she received multiple threats including being told you up the day you started thinking against us a sority sister even told emiline she believed
Her life was in danger emiline would transfer to Duke University citing emotional and psychological toil from the campaign as her reason for transpiring and in 2013 I’m directly quoting this Business Insider article where I got this entire timeline from The New York Times reported last month that a losing candidate for the
Tuscaloosa City Board of Education filed a lawsuit after an SGA president and machine candidate was elected after a wave of Greek voting UA sorority members were offered free drinks and limo r if they voted in the City Board of Education elections according to an email sent out to at least one sorority
Members were encouraged to vote for former SGA president Cas Kirby and fellow UA alumnus Lee Garrison both of whom ended up winning their respective districts local news reported some Greeks listed their fraternity house as their residents to vote in Kirby’s District even though they no longer live
There as I cited from those statistics these are the people that end up working in politics this is just practice this is just child’s place for when they join the real political world and it’s scary knowing that these people are in charge of politics it’s similar here in the UK
The majority of MPS are privately educated despite the fact that only 2% of the UK population are privately educated and I think the reason why this relates to sororities is that again not all not all but a lot of sorority sisters do join sororities for proximity to these powerful fraternity men and
What it means to their future to quote this article that I read on the New York Times the article is called in Alabama White Tide rushes on by tresy McMillan Cottom joining an elite sorority solves multiple problems at one time it gives you a college cohort seeds your LinkedIn
Connections and grooms you into the ideal partner for the men who are joining the fraternities Elite status culture invests a lot in marriage and that is no different in the South for all that the sorority sisters talk about bonding and lifelong friends the power of these sororities is not Sisterhood
It’s the Brotherhood that desires it bamar Rush Cod defies the many incentives behind marrying power and turns them into a long audition to become a handmaid into patriarchal privilege becoming pretty enough to sit at the right hand of machines that chew up history and the future is not my idea
Of getting ahead so to conclude my final thoughts I haven’t actually written a conclusion for this video so I am riffing a little bit but a lot of people talk about making sororities more inclusive more diverse and in my opinion and what is also written in this article in the New
York Times is you can’t make something inclusive that was created on exclusivity it reminds me a lot of well not a lot a little bit of trying to make Victoria Secret inclusive it’s kind of difficult to do that because the whole basis of Victoria Secret was exclusivity so it feels fake
It feels phony tresy mentions in her article that we sort of get this urge um to take out our diversity Hammer from Progressive tool kit and just like hit everything that is you know not diverse and be like you should be more diverse ding but that’s not the solution to
Something which is so deeply corrupt it’s not you know will of course we’re seeing a breakdown of Greek life in some states and some universities and of course not all Greek life is like this but I don’t think that we’re going to be seeing Greek life slow
Down anytime soon in States like Alabama where it’s actively thriving thriving I think something that is just really interesting which really interests me is the way that people go about things in a post-gender revolution world now a lot of women have to act like they’re joining sororities because they want to
Create a Sisterhood and they’re not joining sororities for the connections to fraternities and Security in their future and a lot of women aren’t even honest about wanting to join sororities for their own connections for their own career and their own work but yeah I think that’s all of my thoughts is that
You just got to get rid of the whole thing but I hope that you guys enjoyed this video this took me such a long time to make and it was really really interesting and if you did make sure you give it a little bit of love follow my
Socials and leave a comment on your thoughts and I’ll see you in my next video bye
