I did see Bama Morgan is rushing again, but she seems to be more "into" the process. Probably did more research and will hopefully find her home this year.

Who's Bama Morgan?

She was the most real PNM from last year, totally not stereotypical Alabama sorority girl. Bama Rush Tok world loved her and there was actual outrage when she was dropped by everyone. I think she made it all the way through sisterhood, but was not invited back to Prefs.

Yes, Bama Morgan seems more prepared but I’m not sure she fits the mold for Bama. I hope she finds a home this year but I’m afraid for her.

I haven't heard of her, but do y'all think that maybe the sororities thought that if she pledged, she would get in there and share too much? I'm told that that's a real fear woth some girls. ("And here I am, walking into initiation...my 'srat' has 3 pregnant girls!...there is too much drama in this house."

My understanding, and that's not saying much because it was almost a year ago now, was that the problem happened because she gave an interview to a magazine during recruitment. Not sure if that's the real reason or just what was floated out there though.

But so did Bella Grace and she got a bid.

Don't be fooled.
If you only look at TikTok, you'd think they're all skinny blondes with million dollar wardrobes. Believe me, MANY are more like Bama Morgan than Blond Bama Bimbo.

Yes!

She is one of the TikTok PNMs. I don't think they were worried about her over sharing. I think she's really not a great fit for sorority life at Bama. I wouldn't be a good fit there either.

carnation · #14 08-11-2024, 12:29 PM

Well, it depends. Of course, a lot of the sororities and their members tend to be flashy sorority types but there are other sororities that are more full of "regular girls". My chapter was a medium chapter, full of every kind of girls, but then our chapter had Miss America and Miss Alabama USA so now it's full of the insta-famous/influencer types.I don't know which sorority I would fit into on my old campus now.

I wish people wouldn't overlook Sigma Delta Tau there. They still give a great experience, it's just not a "row" experience. It is similar to what many of us experienced at other campuses.
