Also, I noted this comment in the article: "The show will also feature content creator “Bama Morgan,” who went viral on TikTok for sharing her recruitment experience during her freshman year at the University of Alabama. The series will follow Morgan as she attempts her second chance at a bid."

Sooooooo.....Morgan *did* have a tv reality crew documenting her rush at Bama last year? <face palm>

Wait, knowing that, no wonder she got dropped! (yes I'm aware she did not take a SK bid.) but my god.

Well, I just went over to her TikTok and she's got a video posted confirming that she was included in the TV show. She actually says, "I may not have gotten the bid, but I got the last shot."

Here: https://www.tiktok.com/@on_thedaily_...31648188960014


While on her page, I found out that someone at Bama had allegedly let the cat out of the bag that she had a poor GPA of 2.7, which played a major role in her rush results. Since that information was now public, she posted a defensive video confirming her GPA was 2.7 and tried to justify her Cs and Bs. She even made a snarky comment that the sororities "threw her GPA in her face". Really?? A 2.7 GPA doesn't cut it at Bama....or even most schools.

That's one of the things that seems to get missed when people are watching these big SEC rushes. The girls for sure are wearing expensive, designer stuff, have high social media influence, pageant queens, they prepped all year, etc etc etc......but they *also* have to have academic achievement. Even with all the glam, you still need to have scholarship.


And, yes, I faintly recall that she had received a bid from SK, but turned it down. She also claims that she received "bids" from Sigma Delta Tau and Alpha Delta Chi (Christian sorority), but those were just invitations to attend COB, not "bids". (good grief)

Listening to some of these moms, I already know that their daughters will tank in SEC rush.

Seriously!
I will be the first to admit that I don't know if I could take the pressure of a Bama (etal) Recruitment.

Edited to add: 2.7??? We didn't give a second thought to a woman with less that a 3.25!

I had also heard she was a transfer (and again nothing wrong with that, I joined as a transfer) but her GPA in that sense was much lower than chapter set GPA. And considering it's Bama, I know the GPA to join many houses was much higher than national standard.

Also, I don't think the broader public knows how much it takes to rush at these massive schools. You don't just need "beauty" (again hog wash) you need to treat it like an actual college transcript. You need the really good GPA AND you need the involvement wherever that falls, whether it be the AP king or the cheer captain.

Sorry to rant, as someone who witnessed her first rush on the volunteer, end it's so much more than just looking cute or gaining some social media followers.

[*winter*]

I will never forget when someone on GC said a PNM with a low GPA needed to pledge the library! I think it’s fitting here.

There was a girl who was mad they wouldn’t let her contract into ROTC because her GPA was a 1.9! Seriously!!!! You really do not need to be adding ANYTHING into your schedule if your grades are that low!

Wait, is Bama Morgan rushing again?

As far as I can tell no. She was on tik tok as of late discussing the process, but from hearing about her GPA and her first go around at the process, she’s probably a liability risk at this rate.

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.

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.

[*winter*]

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…
