“For many girls, recruitment is a “legacy” process, which means that they will be aiming to secure a bid at the same sorority that their mothers were once in.”

This quote from the People article tells you how accurate this show will be. Legacies(not any more) and “used to be in”. If mom is no longer a member, daughter is not a legacy. If mom is an alumna, she is still a member. I’m thinking “Dance Moms”.

By the way, BamaMorgan did rush her 2nd year from what I remember reading on another site last year, so this show must’ve been filmed last year? And how are you awarded an academic scholarship with a 2.7? And why is a girl who was unsuccessful in rush twice involved in a show filmed on another campus? And is Brexit, or Brevia, or whatever her name is a man?Sooo many questions.

On that point it was most likely the fact that she went viral. Lifetime sees the juicy angle and want to add her to it.

No. She rushed two years in a row (2023 and 2024) and was dropped both times. She's a senior now and I can't imagine she would be goofy enough to try again.

Last year, people were saying that she was only going through a second time for social media clout and there were rumors that the whole second time through was a sham. Lo and behold, we are just now finding out that she was a participant in the Lifetime sorority rush docu-series. So, it comes to pass that she was indeed trolling the second time around. She claims in her video that her second attempt was sincere, but why would anyone in their right mind involve a media company on their SEC rush? If not that, then she was sincerely rushing....but sold behind-the-scenes footage to Lifetime after she was dropped the second time.

Based on her most recent passive aggressive videos, it sounds a bit like she did the second rush undercover to "sock it to the sororities" and to get her fame from being in the TV show.

I'm ashamed to admit that I watched that show.

IIRC, when MTV floated the idea, every NPC sorority informed their chapters that their charter would be revoked if they participated.

Things seem to have worked out well for Sigma Alpha Epsilon Pi (season 1) as they have several active chapters now.

Of course, MTV was selective in its editing - as I vaguely recall, there was a PNM chatting on her cell phone during a party, a "sober sister" pledge who wasn't sober, and a new member who got drunk and walked straight into a closed glass sliding door.

Veering nicely off topic, but seasons :):)1 and 2 of the original Sorority Life MTV show are available online now. What a throwback! I remember watching them in, like, 2002, and rushing off to the Taildaters or whatever MTV board people were using to discuss the show.

Good times

I’m not watching this show. These people are corporate-trainer scary and not interesting at all. Mister Pageant Guy and Brandis-However Many Extra Letters.

Okay but as trashy as those shows were I love them a ton. Those at least were more "follow with the camera see where it goes" but Lifetime is a bit much. And funny enough SAEPi would go national, and the chapter is still active to this day.

Off topic: I rewatched MTV fat camp (both editions) and wow it was something else. :eek: they're on youtube.

The SAEPi sisters were very sweet and nice- honestly, probably too nice for MTV! I felt kinda bad for them, because you know MTV totally picked their pledges (at least the ones who lived in the house).

Going to a state school on the east coast…the Buffalo sisters were definitely more my type of people! They would have fit in well with a lot of people at my school/chapter lol…

It’s so fun to see things from that time period again…all the music, hair, makeup, old school cell phones! It just takes me right back to that time.

“Rush” parties in the student union with cardboard glitter decorations are more my speed than this Lifetime stuff.

That girl is still chasing social media clout. For the record, she DID NOT get a bid from Sigma Kappa. She was dropped by all houses.

She keeps going on and on through TikTok. Girl, I get it, you're upset you didn't get what you wanted out of recruitment. But stop talking about it!!! She claims people made her life miserable, which isn't right either, but how much "shit" do you take before you say, hey, I don't want to be a part of this and just leave it.

She's never going away.

Ok, thank you. It's possible she is getting confused with another blonde PNM who declined a SK snap bid and ended up later in Theta. There may also be confusion because Bama Morgan kept incorrectly saying in some of her videos that she received "bids" from SDT and ADX when they were just COB event invites.

How is it that this chick has been through recruitment so many times, but she still doesn’t use the correct terminology???

Her whole legacy is chugging OJ at this point…
