[0:01] Speaker 1: Welcome to Dirty Rush, The Truth about Sororiti Life with
[0:04] Speaker 1: your hosts me Gia Judice.
[0:06] Speaker 2: Daisy Kent, and Jennifer Kessler.
[0:12] Speaker 3: We're back to continue the conversation about work week. So
[0:16] Speaker 3: here's why Dirty Rush works is because we allow.
[0:21] Speaker 2: People to be anonymous when they need to be, so.
[0:24] Speaker 3: That they feel safe, secure, confident in telling you what
[0:27] Speaker 3: it really is, like work week Rush pledging initiation.
[0:33] Speaker 2: So we allow people to have real names, fake names.
[0:36] Speaker 3: We're okay with it because we want you to know
[0:38] Speaker 3: that what we're telling you is the truth. So what
[0:41] Speaker 3: we did as we're doing this series on work Week
[0:44] Speaker 3: this weekend, we sent two people, producer Evy and your
[0:49] Speaker 3: name Bella and Bella might be a fake name.
[0:53] Speaker 2: We sent Bella to Bama Rush.
[0:56] Speaker 3: So look, anybody who knows anything about Rush knows that suddenly,
[1:01] Speaker 3: a couple of years ago, out of nowhere, Bama Rush exploded.
[1:04] Speaker 2: It became the rush to watch.
[1:06] Speaker 3: It became the tiktoks to watch, It became the girls
[1:09] Speaker 3: to analyze, it became everything.
[1:12] Speaker 2: So we are boots on the ground this.
[1:13] Speaker 3: Season on Dirty Rush, and we are sending our team
[1:16] Speaker 3: all over the country to cover Rush, to cover work
[1:19] Speaker 3: week Rush and so on. So we are in a
[1:23] Speaker 3: secret retreat, as you guys know if you listen to
[1:26] Speaker 3: the previous episode, we are in a secret location on
[1:30] Speaker 3: a sorority retreat. Essentially, we have sorority girls from all
[1:33] Speaker 3: over the country here and we are bringing you these
[1:39] Speaker 3: dirty Rush episodes. So basically, we sent producer Evy and
[1:42] Speaker 3: Bella to Alabama. So first of all, what I want
[1:44] Speaker 3: to ask you guys, is immediately when you got there
[1:47] Speaker 3: and you started to sort of explore the town, So
[1:50] Speaker 3: is the university in Alabama?
[1:54] Speaker 2: What city?
[1:57] Speaker 1: It's in Tuscaloosa, which is like an hour outside of Birmingham,
[2:02] Speaker 1: which is the airport, right.
[2:03] Speaker 2: Okay, so this is the University of Alabama. And look,
[2:05] Speaker 2: I get it. If you're in Alabama, you're rolling your
[2:07] Speaker 2: eyes at what idiots we are. But there's people that
[2:09] Speaker 2: may not know that.
[2:10] Speaker 3: So you flew into Birmingham and then how far from
[2:13] Speaker 3: the airport is it to get to Tuscalooso where the
[2:15] Speaker 3: University of Alabama is an hour?
[2:18] Speaker 2: An hour?
[2:18] Speaker 3: And did you immediately when you get there feel the
[2:21] Speaker 3: sort of sorority energy?
[2:23] Speaker 1: Oh?
[2:24] Speaker 2: Yeah, tell me about it.
[2:25] Speaker 4: It's like right when I stepped foot on the campus,
[2:29] Speaker 4: I was like, all right, I get this whole Alabama thing.
[2:34] Speaker 2: Because I need more, Like what do you mean?
[2:36] Speaker 1: I think even when we like landed in the airport
[2:38] Speaker 1: and we're like waiting for our bags, we saw girls
[2:40] Speaker 1: who immediately like fit the bill, like you could tell
[2:43] Speaker 1: they were on their way to do work week that
[2:45] Speaker 1: they went to the University of Alabama. Like they were
[2:48] Speaker 1: wearing like Park malk necks and like athletist.
[2:52] Speaker 2: So they said, I can't write that down.
[2:53] Speaker 3: So they were wearing Park which I obviously understand. Park
[2:56] Speaker 3: Baknax is like the thing. Yeah, and did it feel
[3:00] Speaker 3: pink or is that like a legally blonde.
[3:02] Speaker 1: Like it's an im super pink but definitely like preppy,
[3:06] Speaker 1: colorful monogram.
[3:08] Speaker 4: And the things that they knew about, like what girls
[3:10] Speaker 4: wear to class, they were wearing, like.
[3:12] Speaker 2: Give me details. They're wearing Hooka sneakers.
[3:15] Speaker 4: They're wearing like either like an alo tennis dress or
[3:19] Speaker 4: kind of like a set like a like a tennis
[3:22] Speaker 4: skirt top set. Like everything's very put together, and they
[3:30] Speaker 4: have like monograms on their little ll bean toes or whatever,
[3:33] Speaker 4: like they have been planning to pack for So we're.
[3:37] Speaker 3: Not actually talking Gucci Dior Chanelle. No, it's leveled down,
[3:43] Speaker 3: but it is brand names. Yeah, and it is coordinated
[3:47] Speaker 3: and it is preppy.
[3:48] Speaker 5: Right.
[3:49] Speaker 4: I think what I came to understand is that like
[3:52] Speaker 4: the big like the Gucci and the designer and all
[3:55] Speaker 4: that stuff that you see on TikTok, Like, isn't it
[3:58] Speaker 4: Like I'm sure that's there, as it is at any
[4:01] Speaker 4: score any sorority, but it's not the focus. They've just
[4:04] Speaker 4: people online have made it the focus.
[4:06] Speaker 2: Okay, interesting, Okay, is it blonde or what was it?
[4:11] Speaker 2: Did you see extensions? Differently? It is blonde.
[4:14] Speaker 4: Every everyone's blonde tan long blonde, long blonde, like a
[4:18] Speaker 4: platinum blonde, right, blonde, bright blonde, bright tan.
[4:22] Speaker 2: We went into a tanning slawn everyone there.
[4:24] Speaker 3: Okay, I want to hear all about this. So first
[4:27] Speaker 3: I know you guys, did you take an uber? This
[4:29] Speaker 3: is where you've met?
[4:30] Speaker 2: Your first interview was later We were support was great, normal,
[4:36] Speaker 2: but just nothing on the rush scene.
[4:38] Speaker 6: Okay.
[4:38] Speaker 4: We actually we were kind of that first night when
[4:41] Speaker 4: we landed, we were kind of striking out. We took
[4:45] Speaker 4: a walk around campus. Okay, girls are getting ready for
[4:48] Speaker 4: work week.
[4:49] Speaker 1: We saw a group of girls talking to each other
[4:53] Speaker 1: like on Greek row like, and they were in different
[4:56] Speaker 1: houses we learned from listening in and they were like,
[4:58] Speaker 1: they were like, what are you doing tomorrow? Like one
[5:01] Speaker 1: of them and the other two were like secret.
[5:03] Speaker 2: Oh, like they're getting a secret with each each other.
[5:06] Speaker 3: And they were you stand out as like clearly you
[5:08] Speaker 3: don't got you don't go there, or could you blend?
[5:11] Speaker 3: Like maybe we can get in because we are young
[5:14] Speaker 3: and we look like sorty girls.
[5:15] Speaker 4: Well, Bella texted me when we were packing for this
[5:18] Speaker 4: trip and she goes, you know what are you bringing?
[5:20] Speaker 2: I'm like, prep you to the nine.
[5:22] Speaker 4: Okay, I'm bringing my you know, everything from And let
[5:25] Speaker 4: me say she nailed it. O my prints, you know,
[5:29] Speaker 4: your golden goose, sneakers or whatever you got.
[5:31] Speaker 2: We're gonna we're gonna look like we blind in.
[5:33] Speaker 4: And when we're walking around campus that first night, I'm
[5:36] Speaker 4: trying to scope out the scene and see like who
[5:38] Speaker 4: could talk to us and whatever, and they are already
[5:40] Speaker 4: looking at you a little like a right.
[5:43] Speaker 2: For the person listening for you listening.
[5:46] Speaker 6: Uh.
[5:47] Speaker 3: Our two reporters are in their twenties, so they do
[5:50] Speaker 3: they could pass easily for college students sorty girls obviously,
[5:54] Speaker 3: we're doing that intentionally because we're infiltrating rush and trying
[5:57] Speaker 3: to bring you like top secret information. All right, So
[6:01] Speaker 3: you when you get to the hotel, is it a sorority?
[6:04] Speaker 2: You know our sorority moms there? Did you feel that vibe?
[6:08] Speaker 4: So we could tell that people were already, like even
[6:11] Speaker 4: before classes or anything, had already begun.
[6:13] Speaker 2: Like work, we could not quite begun.
[6:15] Speaker 4: It was happening like the next day or the next day,
[6:17] Speaker 4: but pete girls were moving into the hotel.
[6:20] Speaker 2: Rushies there yet. Okay, so this is just sorority, just
[6:24] Speaker 2: sorority girls girls women. It was like people doing rush
[6:27] Speaker 2: who were like rushing. The p and ms were arriving,
[6:30] Speaker 2: so it was like sophomore girls, the sophomore junior seniors.
[6:34] Speaker 1: But what always interesting was in our hotel there was
[6:36] Speaker 1: all these girls that we kept seeing like moving big
[6:39] Speaker 1: ball because like unloading signs and we were like, oh,
[6:41] Speaker 1: like what are you guys doing like whatever? They were
[6:44] Speaker 1: on the panelonic board and they were running rush out.
[6:48] Speaker 2: We were staying up. We split you at the right hotel.
[6:50] Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, this was definitely like the University of Alabama
[6:54] Speaker 4: hotel where people say or whatever. But you could tell
[6:57] Speaker 4: that moms were moving them into and everyone just has
[7:00] Speaker 4: a little bit of this air of skepticism or secrecy
[7:03] Speaker 4: or on their guard because I think they know that
[7:06] Speaker 4: there's just so much attention around their school. And even
[7:09] Speaker 4: we were walking around when the first night we got there,
[7:14] Speaker 4: and I just like saw a girl walking towards us
[7:17] Speaker 4: and asked her like, hey, you know, we're just we're reporters.
[7:22] Speaker 4: I was just like, oh, we're you know, we're Felow
[7:24] Speaker 4: Crority girls, but we work for this podcast and we
[7:27] Speaker 4: like would love to ask you a few questions. And
[7:30] Speaker 4: she was like, uh, I don't think I can say
[7:33] Speaker 4: anything to you. And we're like, oh, okay, are you
[7:36] Speaker 4: enjoying work week? And she's like, it's really chill, Like
[7:39] Speaker 4: it's chill. It's much more chill than the people say
[7:41] Speaker 4: that it is.
[7:42] Speaker 2: And what did all right? But it felt like that
[7:44] Speaker 2: was they're clearing the you.
[7:46] Speaker 3: Know, yeah, I think I guess my question is are
[7:50] Speaker 3: you seeing people making these tiktoks trying to be quote
[7:54] Speaker 3: TikTok famous.
[7:55] Speaker 2: Or does it feel like authentic rush.
[7:58] Speaker 1: I would say like the last day we were there,
[8:01] Speaker 1: like we kind of started seeing more of like the
[8:03] Speaker 1: actual work week, Like the girls like in their outfits,
[8:05] Speaker 1: they're like making tiktoks, like doing all that stuff.
[8:09] Speaker 2: But like before that, I don't know.
[8:11] Speaker 4: Well, we did hear from a P and M that
[8:14] Speaker 4: I asked her. I was like, have you been advised
[8:16] Speaker 4: at all on girls who are trying to get TikTok
[8:19] Speaker 4: famous or whatever going into rush? Like, gir no longer
[8:23] Speaker 4: did sororities want those girls? Like it brings on too much?
[8:27] Speaker 3: Okay, So that's interesting, right, I think that that had
[8:30] Speaker 3: its moment and it does seem to be changing, and
[8:33] Speaker 3: maybe a new school will become.
[8:35] Speaker 2: That, right.
[8:36] Speaker 4: They actually said they're like, I think Oklahoma's your school.
[8:39] Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I've heard that that Oklahoma is the
[8:42] Speaker 3: new Bama Rush.
[8:43] Speaker 7: Yeah.
[8:43] Speaker 3: And also like to compare it to a show like
[8:46] Speaker 3: The Bachelor. Right in the early seasons, you got more
[8:51] Speaker 3: authentic people because there was no Bachelor famous, right, and
[8:55] Speaker 3: then you get these sort of trying too hards because
[8:58] Speaker 3: they're not there for the reasons which it sounds like
[9:02] Speaker 3: these you know, potential rush rushies and the actives are
[9:08] Speaker 3: trying to just have.
[9:09] Speaker 2: A cool sorority.
[9:10] Speaker 3: All right, So you hop in this uber and tell
[9:13] Speaker 3: me a little bit about this Uber driver that you.
[9:14] Speaker 2: Guys spoke to. Mama was his story? Was she in
[9:19] Speaker 2: a sorority?
[9:19] Speaker 6: Like?
[9:19] Speaker 2: What was her story?
[9:21] Speaker 4: I mean, we like hit the jackpot with our first Uber.
[9:25] Speaker 4: We're feeling a little depleted from the night before, like
[9:28] Speaker 4: getting so rejected.
[9:29] Speaker 2: Yeah, reporter is a tough beat. I know it's there.
[9:34] Speaker 2: Even the Uber driver.
[9:35] Speaker 4: From the night before, Like she wasn't giving us much
[9:37] Speaker 4: like shit, okay, all right, And we get in the
[9:40] Speaker 4: car and we're like and we tell her what we're doing.
[9:44] Speaker 4: You know, we're here, but we're trying to be soft with.
[9:45] Speaker 2: People, so maybe they tell us. She starts off and
[9:48] Speaker 2: she's she's got a Tumblr that says Mama Cy and.
[9:52] Speaker 1: Her license plate says mama And we're like, so, what's
[9:55] Speaker 1: the deal, Like, what's Mama Cy? And she's like, I
[9:58] Speaker 1: am the number one Uber driver in the world. And
[10:03] Speaker 1: at first I'm like, is this self proclaimed?
[10:06] Speaker 2: That's good?
[10:06] Speaker 5: Yeah?
[10:06] Speaker 2: No, she pulls it up.
[10:07] Speaker 1: Uber has also awarded her as the number one Uber
[10:11] Speaker 1: driver with over sixty thousand rides.
[10:13] Speaker 2: Irrelevant, irrelevant, but like, good for you, Momacy, you rock.
[10:17] Speaker 2: Then why did she tell you about sorority?
[10:19] Speaker 6: She said?
[10:20] Speaker 2: Born and raised in Tuscaloosa. It's beautiful, beautiful. She was
[10:25] Speaker 2: in a sorority. She was a fine you know, well,
[10:27] Speaker 2: we go, how what are you doing in Tescalusa? How
[10:30] Speaker 2: are you getting all these rides whatever?
[10:31] Speaker 4: And she's like, I do all the sorority transportation in Ubers.
[10:34] Speaker 2: I'm a main uber driver. Did she go to Alabama?
[10:38] Speaker 4: Yes, she goes, I went to University of Alabama and
[10:40] Speaker 4: I was I'm from here.
[10:41] Speaker 2: He was top house there. This is what we learned.
[10:44] Speaker 2: And she goes, I was a fine meal. We go,
[10:46] Speaker 2: is that the top house?
[10:47] Speaker 4: And she goes, well, it's the only white house on canvas?
[10:51] Speaker 1: So all no, sound, son't wait, let us explain. Let
[10:54] Speaker 1: us explain suddenly, let us it is like physy painted
[11:00] Speaker 1: white outside of the physical five ye sorority house, while
[11:04] Speaker 1: all the other ones are brick brown.
[11:06] Speaker 2: So it stands out a law on campus already looks prestigious.
[11:10] Speaker 2: Before you know, that is beautiful there, I mean there
[11:13] Speaker 2: must be effect. We'll get that. We'll get to that,
[11:16] Speaker 2: all right. Your conversation with Mammasy roll it.
[11:18] Speaker 4: Would you say you were telling us, but the reason
[11:22] Speaker 4: why a lot of you know, girls are just hesitant
[11:24] Speaker 4: to talk about and talk to us right now.
[11:26] Speaker 2: It's because of everything that happened with Yeah.
[11:29] Speaker 5: I feel like it just because it gets such a
[11:31] Speaker 5: name on TikTok that everybody's just hasn't it because they
[11:33] Speaker 5: are told, you.
[11:34] Speaker 8: Know, not to say anything, not to do this, you know,
[11:36] Speaker 8: just basically do your you know, get ready with me
[11:38] Speaker 8: and call it a day and don't really say anything else.
[11:41] Speaker 5: Yeah, you're just held to like higher standards just to
[11:44] Speaker 5: make it more fair for everyone.
[11:47] Speaker 8: Yeah.
[11:47] Speaker 2: And do you think maybe that.
[11:50] Speaker 4: They're probably also worried that something gets picked up or something,
[11:54] Speaker 4: you know, they just don't want anything.
[11:55] Speaker 5: Well, they don't want to focus on them because if
[11:57] Speaker 5: the focus is on them, then it's a risk for
[11:59] Speaker 5: the chack to.
[12:00] Speaker 4: Take them mm, got it.
[12:03] Speaker 8: So and you don't want social media at risk. There's
[12:05] Speaker 8: too much.
[12:05] Speaker 6: Involved in that.
[12:06] Speaker 2: So absolutely.
[12:07] Speaker 4: And and is it the case where they would go
[12:10] Speaker 4: right to standards if if some if someone did say something.
[12:14] Speaker 5: Or oh, I would say definitely, well they would take
[12:17] Speaker 5: they would go straight to jayboard first, and then straight
[12:20] Speaker 5: it would get straight to panelantics.
[12:21] Speaker 8: Well, OK, and they take that very serious.
[12:24] Speaker 5: Our girls are very good, they're jayboard girls, and our
[12:26] Speaker 5: fo guys are very serious. About it, and they pick
[12:29] Speaker 5: up on everything, got it, So they are very they're
[12:33] Speaker 5: on top of it. They're some of the most restigious
[12:35] Speaker 5: girls on campus, so they are really really on.
[12:36] Speaker 8: Top of it, right.
[12:37] Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, even the girls that we talked to
[12:39] Speaker 4: seemed like when I went up to someone to the
[12:41] Speaker 4: sheep right outside the hotel, she was on Panelinic and
[12:44] Speaker 4: they seemed really buttoned up and.
[12:46] Speaker 8: Ready to go. And that's the thing is like, the
[12:49] Speaker 8: quatter you are, the better chance that everyone has.
[12:51] Speaker 5: And that's what I always say, Like, you don't want
[12:53] Speaker 5: to put a girl in that standard. You don't want
[12:54] Speaker 5: to put her in that position, especially because if you're
[12:56] Speaker 5: from like just a California and you're coming to Alabama,
[12:59] Speaker 5: you're already are like, she'll shocked, so you don't know
[13:02] Speaker 5: what to expect, and then you get here and then
[13:05] Speaker 5: you're just that seven days is just miserable.
[13:07] Speaker 8: Every day one hundred degree heat, ninety five percent humidity.
[13:10] Speaker 8: You're hot, you're sweaty, you're miserable, and then you're going
[13:12] Speaker 8: in there and then you're just it's just a lot
[13:15] Speaker 8: of information to take in.
[13:16] Speaker 5: Yeah, So I would say, yeah, I mean, I feel
[13:19] Speaker 5: like it's fair to everyone, but I do feel like
[13:20] Speaker 5: it is.
[13:21] Speaker 8: It's very cut through all right.
[13:24] Speaker 2: Well, thank you so much.
[13:25] Speaker 4: So Mama Sy, right, that's how everyone knows you number
[13:30] Speaker 4: one uber in the world.
[13:31] Speaker 2: Thank you so much. You gotta love Mama Sy. First
[13:34] Speaker 2: of all, she's got the voice, she really does. We
[13:37] Speaker 2: didn't make any of this up. You can't fake you
[13:40] Speaker 2: hit the jackpot with that. We just kept letting her talk. Great,
[13:44] Speaker 2: I love it all right. So where was Mamsey taking you?
[14:02] Speaker 7: So?
[14:02] Speaker 4: We had been recommended this boutique, Papoori, okay, and we
[14:08] Speaker 4: saw it online too.
[14:09] Speaker 2: We like, they got this TikTok that went viral.
[14:11] Speaker 4: All their stuff looked so cute, very Bama rush like,
[14:14] Speaker 4: we got to get there.
[14:16] Speaker 2: So we walk in and then we're a little confused
[14:19] Speaker 2: because we're like, this is a furniture store. Oh that's interesting.
[14:23] Speaker 2: But then it's so good.
[14:25] Speaker 4: The other woman pipes in, she's like, are you looking

[14:37] Speaker 9: and the people who are like don't want to be
[14:39] Speaker 9: associated with you like not speaking or like the sweetest
[14:43] Speaker 9: like like somehow to deliver it in.
[14:45] Speaker 2: The sweetest way. You can't even be master if this

[15:02] Speaker 3: So you do you talk to the woman at this boutique, lindsay.
[15:07] Speaker 1: So, then we get to the back of the furniture store.
[15:08] Speaker 1: We meet Lindsay and another sales associate who's very nice,
[15:12] Speaker 1: who goes to the university.
[15:13] Speaker 2: How do they get action in the back of the
[15:14] Speaker 2: furniture store.

[15:29] Speaker 4: the dresses.
[15:29] Speaker 2: And so you walk into this back boutique and is
[15:32] Speaker 2: it like sorolreaty closed, like.
[15:34] Speaker 1: Love to the brim, like perfectly curated for every round
[15:38] Speaker 1: of rush for anything Alabama, Like you're like perfect, perfect
[15:41] Speaker 1: like Prame Day, Prince Bright fun and.
[15:44] Speaker 2: Are we talking expensive expensive or no?
[15:47] Speaker 4: So what I've found about because when I hear boutique,
[15:51] Speaker 4: I think pricey, But what I found about Southern boutiques
[15:55] Speaker 4: is actually they kind of like like and I'm not
[15:59] Speaker 4: flaming in a web, like they dupe. I've noticed that
[16:02] Speaker 4: they duped something that would be like on Revolve or
[16:04] Speaker 4: maybe like that's like Mesa or farm Rio or whatever,
[16:08] Speaker 4: like a brand that might be more a little high end,
[16:11] Speaker 4: a little high end, and they kind of dupe it
[16:14] Speaker 4: and maybe it feels a little different whatever, but it's
[16:16] Speaker 4: the same look.
[16:16] Speaker 2: Yeah, and so it's kind of fan yeah, good, good good,
[16:21] Speaker 2: you know, whole thing and like.
[16:23] Speaker 3: Three people probably doesn't need to do. But I think
[16:25] Speaker 3: they would have anthropology dresses.
[16:27] Speaker 4: Right, that kind of thing, where like it's similar styles
[16:30] Speaker 4: or shapes that are recognized with.
[16:32] Speaker 2: A price point more like a fifty dollars.
[16:33] Speaker 4: It was like probably like the dress like under one hundred,
[16:37] Speaker 4: under one hundred, like cute like night like I don't know, yeah, all.
[16:42] Speaker 2: Right, so what so and lindsay talk to you guys,
[16:44] Speaker 2: oh yeah, and we're like do you own the store?
[16:46] Speaker 4: She's got this cute sales associate TK who talk.
[16:49] Speaker 2: To all the sorority girls in there.
[16:51] Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Well what she did tell us is she
[16:54] Speaker 4: was like, what we found about the University of Alabama,
[16:56] Speaker 4: there's Old Row and Newro kind of with the arority.
[17:00] Speaker 1: Mamma See said, she talked a little bit about Okay, yeah,
[17:02] Speaker 1: Old Row, New Row.
[17:04] Speaker 4: And and it just basically means Old Row is for
[17:08] Speaker 4: some people might have more prestigialized because it's just like
[17:11] Speaker 4: it's like the Ivy leaks, Like it's more they've been
[17:13] Speaker 4: around the longest at Alabama.
[17:16] Speaker 2: And then there's New Row. But they're still like really
[17:19] Speaker 2: popular sororities in New Row. But I think those are.
[17:23] Speaker 3: Is about the houses on those streets, not like the
[17:26] Speaker 3: restaurants or stores.
[17:27] Speaker 2: Oh sorry, Rich sorority for the White House. The final
[17:34] Speaker 2: So let's.
[17:35] Speaker 3: Listen to a little bit of what Lindsay told you, guys,
[17:37] Speaker 3: so give me again. Like what she was explaining, like
[17:40] Speaker 3: about the sorority girls coming into the bea.
[17:42] Speaker 1: She's like more Old Row sorority girls typically like the
[17:45] Speaker 1: styles in our boutique as they lean a little more
[17:49] Speaker 1: conservative preppy.
[17:51] Speaker 2: Yeah, the Old Row.
[17:53] Speaker 3: And New Row dressed differently. A little bit different vibes.
[17:57] Speaker 3: I guess my question is are there top houses on
[17:59] Speaker 3: both Old Row and New Rock?
[18:01] Speaker 1: Yeah?
[18:01] Speaker 4: So that like Zeta House that got that went TikTok

[22:13] Speaker 4: like a little bit of like a wavy curl.
[22:15] Speaker 3: This is probably an inappropriate question, but look, we're keeping
[22:17] Speaker 3: it real. Similar body types or are you seeing different bodies?
[22:22] Speaker 2: Is there any diversity? There is something. I think there's
[22:25] Speaker 2: more like diversity. It's in the South, so it's not
[22:28] Speaker 2: just one body.
[22:29] Speaker 1: The girls are like pretty fit, but I wouldn't say
[22:31] Speaker 1: it was like, oh like any nation like okay, it
[22:34] Speaker 1: was pretty like normal.
[22:35] Speaker 4: And they got some great barbecue down there, like okay,
[22:39] Speaker 4: off the queue.

[27:38] Speaker 4: What do you think an unlimited membership tanning membership costs
[27:43] Speaker 4: in alabam in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
[27:45] Speaker 2: So that means you could tan any time you want,
[27:47] Speaker 2: anytime you want. You could do four services per day
[27:50] Speaker 2: every day. This place also does all this u V
[27:52] Speaker 2: stuff I know other day.
[27:53] Speaker 3: I think that's going to cost you, and I am
[27:55] Speaker 3: I giving you a monthly number, monthly number fundred fifty
[28:01] Speaker 3: dollars fifty bucks if you share it with a friend,
[28:03] Speaker 3: so it's like one hundred each.
[28:04] Speaker 2: So me and Bella could go in on it.
[28:06] Speaker 3: So for one hundred dollars, you could go to Tan
[28:09] Speaker 3: as many times as you want, up to four times
[28:10] Speaker 3: a day.
[28:11] Speaker 1: But they also have hydra body facials like other wellness things,
[28:16] Speaker 1: massage chairs, so you can do four services in one day,
[28:19] Speaker 1: so you could go every day and a.
[28:20] Speaker 2: Lot of people get the full membership. Yeah, yeah, I
[28:22] Speaker 2: mean I think the smart money is on that one
[28:25] Speaker 2: hundred percent.
[28:26] Speaker 4: When I would get a spray tan in La, it
[28:28] Speaker 4: cost me eighty bucks a pop, and.

[30:58] Speaker 2: we'll take a listen to them.
[30:59] Speaker 4: Well, it's the perfect dynamic because I went up to
[31:02] Speaker 4: this table of Frapp boys and I just knew they're
[31:05] Speaker 4: wearing khaki shorts and the T shirts whatever, and they're like,
[31:09] Speaker 4: oh my god, this guy's your guy. He's the student ambassador.

[31:51] Speaker 2: then I started asking like, well, if you had.
[31:54] Speaker 4: To choose, like, what do you think the top sorority
[31:57] Speaker 4: would be here?
[31:58] Speaker 5: Right?
[31:58] Speaker 2: An ambassador? Guys like, I'm going to hand that off

[32:18] Speaker 2: take let's listen to these these fellas.
[32:21] Speaker 4: So I'm here at Taco Mama, like he would, you
[32:25] Speaker 4: guys say, this is like the hottest Mexican.
[32:26] Speaker 8: Place, the best Mexican place in town.
[32:29] Speaker 2: So you're in a fraternity here.
[32:31] Speaker 6: We are in a fraternity here.
[32:32] Speaker 4: So do you feel like it's just like blown up
[32:34] Speaker 4: in the last few years with like Fama.
[32:36] Speaker 10: Rush, Well, probably going back to like seven four, five years.
[32:43] Speaker 2: Five years, it was a really big deal. Especially a
[32:47] Speaker 2: lot of the documentaries in that place. They out of
[32:49] Speaker 2: the water.
[32:50] Speaker 5: I would say personally that was a not an accurate
[32:53] Speaker 5: representation of what we are as a Greek live community.
[32:55] Speaker 4: All Right, you guys, thank you so much, and say,
[32:58] Speaker 4: my conversation with those two is just made my night.
[33:01] Speaker 2: They were great.
[33:02] Speaker 4: Then I think they went off and partied and celebrated
[33:04] Speaker 4: number two's birthday for them.
[33:06] Speaker 1: Also, just to really give people an inside look to
[33:08] Speaker 1: the atmosphere in Tuscalu. So we are here on a
[33:11] Speaker 1: random Monday night. School is not in session. This is
[33:15] Speaker 1: a random restaurant we find and it is fully packed.
[33:18] Speaker 1: People are drinking. It's like a great time on this randomie.
[33:21] Speaker 3: Did you get the vibe that these kids are having
[33:24] Speaker 3: a great time at college at Bama.
[33:27] Speaker 4: I think, like the perfect picture to explain, like I
[33:31] Speaker 4: really understood like this school breeds school spirit because the
[33:36] Speaker 4: Theta house practically backed up to the football stadium.
[33:40] Speaker 2: Oh wow, you couldn't be in.
[33:42] Speaker 4: Your sorority room, walk down the stairs and do a hop,
[33:47] Speaker 4: skip and a jump and you'd be in the football stay.
[33:49] Speaker 2: I went to Cal, and we have that same situation
[33:51] Speaker 2: at Cal, not at UCLA.
[33:53] Speaker 3: Ucla, unfortunately you have to go like on a two
[33:55] Speaker 3: hour bus ride to the football game.
[33:57] Speaker 2: You take like, yeah the road to help.
[34:14] Speaker 3: Ladies for your first sorority college reporting job. Bravo, well done,
[34:21] Speaker 3: You've got the story. You got your story. So to
[34:25] Speaker 3: sort of wrap things up, what is your kind of button?
[34:30] Speaker 3: Your two cents on work week at Bama because we
[34:34] Speaker 3: really are re covering work week. We wanted to learn
[34:38] Speaker 3: a little bit about the school and why it's become
[34:39] Speaker 3: so TikTok famous.
[34:41] Speaker 2: But do you feel like they're working hard during work week?
[34:46] Speaker 2: I think they're working very hard.
[34:47] Speaker 1: It seemed like a lot of work was put in,
[34:50] Speaker 1: like the houses are so pretty and all the decorations
[34:52] Speaker 1: and stuff. But what actually, like I feel like stood
[34:55] Speaker 1: out to me was that all the girls we talked to,
[34:57] Speaker 1: even the ones we like didn't talk to, were really
[35:00] Speaker 1: like happy and like seem like they really like their
[35:02] Speaker 1: sorority and like there's so many there that I was like, Wow,
[35:05] Speaker 1: you're all willing to like come and do all this
[35:07] Speaker 1: work for your sorority, like even obviously not all of
[35:10] Speaker 1: them can be like considered like top or whatever. But
[35:12] Speaker 1: I'm like you almost like like it like pretty good.
[35:15] Speaker 1: You know, yeah that that's not the case at every school.
[35:18] Speaker 1: Like I feel like some people are like, oh I
[35:20] Speaker 1: hate my sorority like whatever.
[35:21] Speaker 6: Yeah.
[35:22] Speaker 4: Yeah, Well we did get the under We did find
[35:25] Speaker 4: out that there's a really high turnover rate, like people draw.
[35:27] Speaker 1: Does that mean oh, like people like girls dry like
[35:30] Speaker 1: when they're like seers.
[35:30] Speaker 2: Because the duw's apparently you're expensive.
[35:33] Speaker 1: When upwards can be upwards of twenty thousand dollars a year,
[35:37] Speaker 1: okay when you consider like uh like outfits for foremost.
[35:43] Speaker 2: I don't really know what was going on. They were saying,
[35:45] Speaker 2: just dudes, yeah, twenty k. So there's twenty k plus
[35:48] Speaker 2: plus plus plus Yeah, so they say that, like there's
[35:51] Speaker 2: a lot of turnover. Girls. Girls stay freshman, sophomore year,
[35:54] Speaker 2: leave junior senior year. Okay, they're not staying the full
[35:57] Speaker 2: four years.
[35:58] Speaker 3: And producer Evy, what's your sort of hot take on
[36:01] Speaker 3: BAMA Rush work Week?

[36:06] Speaker 2: First times to Alabama? I can't remember, this is my first.

[36:12] Speaker 2: Okay, great, yeah, give me your hand.
[36:13] Speaker 4: I think my hot take would be that the moms
[36:16] Speaker 4: and the like adult women are a lot more involved
[36:20] Speaker 4: in the South than in where I went to school.
[36:23] Speaker 2: In La same Macal, the moms are zero involved.
[36:26] Speaker 4: No, and these are all of the moms are coming
[36:29] Speaker 4: for work week, even if their daughters are already in sororities.
[36:32] Speaker 4: All the moms come for Sorority Rush to be like
[36:34] Speaker 4: they're for emotional support. They're buying a hotel room in
[36:38] Speaker 4: the place that we stayed. And then we saw like
[36:41] Speaker 4: a bunch of women, like like maybe women who had
[36:44] Speaker 4: been in the STORTI and are like in the alumni
[36:46] Speaker 4: network or whatever, rowing up their car parking and bringing.
[36:49] Speaker 2: Out all this stuff for work week, like out of
[36:52] Speaker 2: their car. It's like all loading rogs and all this shit.
[36:54] Speaker 2: We also met a.
[36:55] Speaker 1: Lot of people who had gone to Alabama, that lived
[36:59] Speaker 1: in huscal loose now or we're there in Tuscaloos like
