Since there is already a thread for Alabama recruitment I felt it best to place this here.

Enjoy

Anyone else see Anderson Cooper's "take" on this? I have to admit, I laughed pretty hard!

It was also posted on Tosh.0's Facebook page today. It's preeeetty painful to watch. I was a Rho Chi for two years, one on Panhellenic Exec., and I would have refused to rap!

I was just coming to post the youtube link for this video. the comments are terrible, but I guess I'm in the minority. I didnt think it was that bad. I thought it was cute.

Some people are going to make rude and ridiculous comments regardless. I thought it was very cute as well...especially being NPHC and not accustomed to seeing this.

I would love to say something positive but that video was pretty embarrassing on many levels. Perhaps these girls should have watched the Kappa's at Baylor do their Kappa Jam...it was cute :) Anyway, I would love to hear Anderson Cooper's take on this...where can I find it? Is there a link? Thanks ladies!!

I agree. I'm really surprised something like this came out of Alabama considering what a high profile sorority recruitment they have. I understand being funny and poking fun at yourself, but in order for it to come off well it has to be VERY well done done. This really misses the mark, IMHO. It just doesn't fit with the highly polished Alabama recruitment that is presented to the world.

A bunch of rich white girl wiggas is what's wrong with it. I'm assuming that wasn't their intent, but that's how it came off - to me anyway.

That's the whole point.

Kind of like how the gorgeousest sorority at my school dressed up in overalls and farmer clothes for Meet the Greeks.

Just found out my rec girl is attending 10 of 11 parties during philanthropy round (first invitational) at UA. She is a UA legacy at 2 houses, several generations removed though. And an OOS girl. Hoping she finds her home.

The video is silly, but not national news worthy, IMHO. Aren't there more important things to report on? Guess even news directors need a diversion from politics and the bad economy.

I get that. My point is that the execution was poor not the content. It could have been a great skit, but it was so poorly executed that it just made them look bad.

TriDeltaSallie...I agree with everything you've pointed out! It doesn't fit with the highly polished Alabama Recruitment that is presented to the world...no truer words :)

Nhfulmer 08-17-2011 03:40 PM

I must admit I'm a little embarrassed by it. It just isn't what I expect from the Bama Greek Affairs office. G & K, if you read this - sorry!

FuturePNMMom 08-17-2011 06:07 PM

I saw the Auburn KD video first, it makes this one look so much better! Sometimes I don't know what these girls are thinking. :)

They are having a good time and being silly. The only problem is they post it on utube for a review.
