There is zero lingerie in this video and honestly that is not a fair nor accurate statement.

Yes the video is similar to AZ (maybe they meet AZ girls at a conference?? or looked on you tube to see other chapter's video's who knows) The video is also comparable to other groups at Alabama as many seems to have a similar vibe, dress, dancing, pool, intro view around the chapter house etc.

The chapter posted the video right around the same time as other chapters at Bama so they did not post it early to 'get ahead' simply it seems like the campus norm to post shortly before recruitment starts.

So why all the chatter and catty comments? Because the video went viral. That was not within the chapter's control. I don't think when they filmed it (which had to be last spring) they could not know that having an athlete who had a terrible injury in Dec. would cause such interest. Sports sites picked it up and off it went.

Bama recruitment will be over soon enough and perhaps everyone will find a new target to point the flame throwers at....

You are right about lingerie -- I stand corrected. It is fair to say they did up the ante with significantly more bikini scenes and intentional booty shots (like the one going up the stairs, with the flag, snapping the ball, etc).

Thankfully most chapters at Bama don't have a "recruitment" video on youtube.

No one said they posted it early to "get ahead." Posting a video like this actually isn't "the campus norm."

Did you attend Bama?
