Me getting excited to watch the Bama Rush on HBO Max and ready to see the dark side of Greek life exposed and other allegations of racism and the details of the Machine to be finally talked about on a successful streaming platform only to find out it was about some NPC with alopecia

Watched the new Bama Rush documentary on HBO last night and was so enraged by how vacuous and empty it was when it had SUCH RIPE subject matter that I’ve now recorded two different hour-long episodes in response (the second, calmer version is this very episode which turned out far more cohesively than the one recorded at 1:30 am last night)!

I know too much about the University of Alabama’s rush process because I love weird youtube subcultures and getting glimpses into systems I’ll never be part of and now, six years later, it all pays off because now the rush process has gone viral twice over on TikTok so now more people in culture want to examine what we find so captivating about the experience!

And this documentary…fails to do much at all. So I’m here to critique it, give my two cents, and contribute my thoughts on lives being lived in front of multiple cameras. The rituals, the narrative of achieving self-acceptance via gaining cultural capital, the lack of critical analysis of what these organizations promise vs. deliver, the racism, the hazing, the self-policing nature of eating disorders, The Machine, and all of the underexplored themes. Plus, a walk-through of what rush week entails because the documentary didn’t cover that part!

Anyway, I never want to watch anyone film a TikTok during a documentary again please and thank you!!!

Just watched Bama Rush with my folks and it was a fairly intimidating experience because it meant being reminded that TikTok is a real place and not just a screenshot generator for memes.

I have so many thoughts about the bama rush doc as being a southern “woman” who’s from a long legacy of sorority women but ended up dropping rush and it’s mostly that Yankees need to leave shit like this to southerners to explore and explain for themselves the best part of the doc was the Alabama journalist ALSO it barely explored the “dirty rush” concept that’s changing so much in the current rush process ALSO fatphobia and barely racism and much less tokenism also very much at play for minorities

The Bama Rush documentary has shown me just how much all of us want to be apart of something.

To fit into some sort of mold that’s made for us. Because being different and having individuality is scary to some of us. Individuality carries too much responsibility and requires too much confidence.

Anyone else notice how BamaRush is over the top pageantry while, D9/ Black Sororities and Fraternities are business events.

Like BamaRush is just a fashion show, bright colors, literally just a bunch of GRWM videos and social media posts that sort of functions as brand advertisements that you to be rich rich for.

Meanwhile, D9 might just post about interest meeting, very much business casual with neutral tones( or just straight up black suits).

Granted at least 99% of BamaRush is literally historical white fraternities and sororities at historical predominantly white institutions( aka PWIs) , and the D9 and historical Black fraternities and sororities are at HBCUs. Buts it’s a stark contrast.

And with a lot of D9, you never where the colors ( the members yeah, but never those contemplating pledging) to interest meetings, but with Bama Rush you wear the organization’s shirt the next day.

Is boba the tapioca balls or is it the drink? I'm not entirely sure because I say boba and bubble tea interchangeably. I've been thinking about learning how to make boba at home because I spend so much money on it...

Did you guys hear abt the situation where a man pretended to be a trans women in order to get into a sorority? lol the situation is crazy but no one seems to be focusing on how insidious it really is. basically last year on tiktok young women started posting their process of rushing at the university of Alabama and it got so much attention. this year it was the same except a person named Grant tried joining. He's gay, wheres makeup and skirts, goes by she/her pronouns and everyone assumed he was trans and was backing him SO HARD to get a bid. He posted everyday for rush week and would get hundreds of thousands of views and he never once corrected anyone and made it clear he isn't trans. he finally got dropped completely on pref day (after getting dropped from every sorority except 2 before rush even started) and made a video basically stating that he isn't trans after letting everyone think these sororities were transphobic. even got articles written abt it where they also dragged black women into it bc of course they did. he talked abt how it's the lefts fault for assuming he was trans and how its hypocritical it is to label him and everyone is eating it up and i dont understand why no one is talking about how a literal grown man pretended to be a women until it benefitted him. ppl have just ignoring how problematic and disgusting what he did was. sororites specifically at bama state that you have to be a woman or at least identify as one to be allowed in. Grant said himself he isn't a woman so why does not only him but his supporters not understand why he was cut? the sense of entitlement from men never ceases to amaze me. he's literally a man, and everyone is acting like he was deserving of a spot made for women. women have so little spaces to ourselves and now even this is being infiltrated and everyone is supporting it??? you aren't owed a spot just because you're a man who likes make up and skirts. that doesn't make you a woman and to believe you should be a part of a sisterhood just bc you get along with women is weird and selfish. and he keeps saying how annoyed he is that everyone was assuming, why not correct anyone??? people are saying he let us think he was trans to gain support but i think it was more calculated than that. he didn't just want viewers to think he's a woman, he wanted the organization to think he was one as well in order to get it. and now that they don't want him at all he can come clean. and no one sees a problem with that. people are also saying how this is a loss for the trans community bc it makes them look bad but no one is talking abt how we literally just witnessed a man pretending to be a woman in order to gain access in womens spaces and how scary that is and what it means for us. men are not entitled to everything just bc they feel like they deserve it. the amount of support grant has gotten is wild to me.

This whole bama rush and the machine situation is bringing back terrible memories of highschool & how everything was organized. I don’t think most people even realize these organizations/groups start early.

Im so excited to watch the hbo documentary especially because many of my friends are in sororities or frats, but imma pray for hbo’s legal team. Its not lookin good 😭😭

#alabama rush #bama rush #starzalign #this is why i don’t believe people that spout that you can get into ‘high society’ by just being you #i wouldn’t consider myself old money but its easy to see whos faking it imo #hbo series #come in clutch!! im glad I chose a different uni & not one in the south😭 #bc shits about to go DOWN
