BAMA RUSH follows four young women as they prepare to rush at the University of Alabama in 2022. Against the viral backdrop of #BamaRush on TikTok, and the long-held tradition of sorority recruitment at the University of Alabama, the film explores the emotional complexities and high-stakes of belonging in this crucial window into womanhood.

@@TheOpenSociety777 Well if you watched to show you would know that 3/4 of the girls dropped out so they didn't have enough content for an actual documentary and had to improvise. It's unfortunate that the director had never been in a sorority because she would have chosen much different girls if she had.

@TheOpenSociety777 Год назад

@@MH-0101 I'm not in the business of predicting what a random bald woman would or wouldn't do, or any woman or person for that matter. The fact remains is this "documentary" started from a point of a predetermined narrative and pushed a very one sided biased agenda. One university in one state in one city doesn't happen to follow the all encompassing "progressive" Machine that pervades every university in America, and HBO has to make this show highlighting (condemning) the one university that stands as a bulwark to the singular woke college mind virus . I guess all I can say is Roll tide and keep doing what you're doing !!!

if you need a sorority to help you figure out who you are then your parents have already failed you. cannot imagine how little these girls think of themselves

@christschool Год назад

Parents don't determine your personhood, that is something you develop over the years from your own unique experiences and reactions to different stimuli. If you were a parent, you'd know this. A parent's job is not to imprint a personhood, but to give you the tools to successfully transition to adulthood. Just as wisdom is something you can't learn from a book, personhood is not something that can be taught.

Fraternity rush was a simple hanging out a few evenings, cooking out, hanging out, minor application of interest to fill out… then afterward the members would go through each application, talk about each person, put up a quick vote, and that was it. Most people were given bids, some were not. It was not a huge deal. Then there were hazing events every weekend. Then we partied it up with these sororities every weekend. And that was it!

Two important facts this trailer leaves out and I get the vibe the documentary will leave out as well; 1-only about a third of Alabama undergrads are involved in social greek societies, yes greek life is big and flashy there but the majority of students aren’t involved. And 2- “The Machine”(for anyone who doesn’t know is what they call the Greek leadership who try to control campus beyond greek life) is a shadow of what it use to be. Yes “The Machine” actually did have a lot of control of campus peeking in the 80s & 90s, but over the past 20ish years they’ve pretty much dissolved into only having control over most of Greek life and anything past that is really just a myth/urban legend.

McIrish Greek Life still has a significant amount of influence at Alabama compared to other schools in the U.S. They literally have the biggest Greek system in the country.

@McIrish_Lad Год назад

@@GriffTannen438 I am aware, I did my grad work/taught at Alabama in the early 2010’s. I did my undergrad work at a school where greek was practically nonexistent, so I got hit with the culture shock for a few weeks at the start of my first year there. But from my experience, how it’s portrayed online is a hyper exaggerated version of itself and far to many people think the online persona of Alabama greek life is what it’s like in real life.

@tarwatered8320 Год назад

If you're going to have any substantive social life at an SEC school, the Greek system is going to be involved in some way, shape, or form. Bama has a lot of post-grads, OOS/OOC students that are older and not there for football games or undergrad lifestyle. Those aren't the ones filling up the student section every weekend. Compared to a major city, there isn't a lot to do in Tuscaloosa. There isn't a lot to do in Auburn, Oxford, Starkville, or a slew of other SEC schools. College towns are insular and remote, and that is why the Greek system thrives.

I was in Gamma Phi Beta at Kennesaw State. I wasn't even their first or second choice. I was 3rd! the only reason I got in was because the other 2 girls went Phi Mu instead. I did enjoy the rush process, because our greek life was a relatively new thing, and hazing was strictly forbidden. when I was the GPB girls, I thought they were my type. they didn't seem uppity and high maintenance, and they didn't take themselves too seriously. but once I went through initiation, it was totally different. they were rude, cliquish, and just downright mean. I was in the restroom and overheard 2 of the girls talking trash about one of the girls in my rush group. they called her "fat pig, ugly, poor, and none of the frat boys would date her". I was appalled!! I was only in the sorority for 2 semesters, and I decided to drop them. I hadn't made one single friend in that entire sorority. I later found out that another girl dropped them for the same reasons.

There are smart students in Alabama high schools, despite their one party rule and that party doesn't value an education, they just choose to go to out of state schools for an education because an Alabama degree outside of SEC country is sort of a joke. Unless its UF, Texas-Austin or Vanderbilt, I won't hire an SEC grad. Community Colleges in NC are as good as the typical SEC school. Football, God and Guns are what is important in that culture.

It would be interesting to compare this experience to what many Black or African American female college students go thru when they participate in the membership intake process for the sororities who are a part of the historically Black Greek Letter Organizations (part of the “Divine 9” or “National Pan-Hellenic Council”). One thing I recall is that members make a lifetime commitment in the Black/African American sororities but not for the non-Black/non-African American ones? I wonder why that’s the case… or if it still is?
