  Speaker 3: I am your host Jennifer Wessler, joined by your other host,
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Jia Judice. Today we have a very special guest. This
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: friend of ours made history as the very first bachelorette
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: and is basically Indiana University Royalty Trista Sutter. What about
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: things that I hear You can get dropped from a
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: house for doing or not doing so, I guess like
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: not registering on time, but like also you can't tell
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: people what your top sororities are. You have to follow
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: every sorority on Instagram.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: GA, is that true?
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I do not really recall this when I was rushing,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: but they are saying now that you have to follow
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: all of the sororities prior to rushing, otherwise you will
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: be dropped. I understand that to an extent, just to
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: show that you have an open mind and that you
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: do have interest in all of the sororities and you're
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: not being selective.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, listen, we didn't have computers back in the day,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: so I didn't have to worry about any of this.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I really don't think I followed all of the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: sororities before rushing. I don't even know if I followed
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: any of them. I think it was let me rush
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and whatever sorority I get in, then I'll follow you after.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Gee, do you think a part of that for you
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: was because you were already famous? And like I was
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: gonna say that, Yeah, I mean, I just think they
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: were probably all just vying for you. They all probably
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: wanted to yep, Like like, I don't think they gave
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: a you followed them or not. I would That's how
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: I would think it went down. I don't know for sure.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I mean I still went through the process like anybody else,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: but I do I'm not going to say that I
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: don't think that had an advantage to it, because that
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: would just be naive of me.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, well, you weren't just famous, You're also Gia,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: so of course they wanted you. But I mean, you
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: know I think that like that's yeah, it has to have.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: I remember when I don't know if I'm not to
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: talk with this or not, but when Antonia, because Rachel
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: and Antonio both went to Delaware and Antonia ended up rushing.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: She ended up joining rachel sorority, so Alpha FI. But
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: I remember that when she was getting there, they were
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: all just in a it was just a whirlwind everybody
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: wanted Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: So I mean, listen, I don't think we're I'm not
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: going to be naive to it. I don't think that
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: it put us at a disadvantage.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, it's okay, you have it coming, you have
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: it good.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Guess what you've been through enough? Being on a reality
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: TV should show your whole life. There should be some advantages.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah right, I'm comfortable.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I'm comfortable with that.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess that was the one advantage.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: God, So you guys, what do you guys think? Does
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: legacy status even matter anymore? Because I'm I'm hearing mixed things.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: I should, I I feel like it should. I'm sorry,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: But if your family has a connection to a sorority,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: why because I'm hearing that it's used against you.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: Why is it used against you? I have heard people.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: Say that they don't want to put it on their
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: on their resume because before they even get to rush,
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: some girls are are said they're not invited to the
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: sorority for the first day or whatever based on their legacy.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Is that very heard this, It's very tricky.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: So with legacy one hundred percent, it should be valued.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: And even when I was in Zata at Ruckers, when
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I was rushing the new p and ms, there were
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: many times I guess when you put the girls list
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: through Nationals or whatever that portal they use, because now
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: obviously it's technology based, so it's a little easier to
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: figure out which girls are legacies or not. There was
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: a girl who was a legacy of Zada and she
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: did not get Zada. She got dropped, like within the
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: first round. And this had to have been my sorority
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: making a mistake, not realizing that she was a legacy.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: So when that does happen, it does get messy because
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: obviously the girl who gets dropped, who knows that she
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: was a legacy, gets upset and then it's this whole thing.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: But after that, odds are this girl doesn't even want
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: to be in the sorority knowing that they dropped her.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: So it's like, I'm good, But I would say a
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: lot of the times it is a mistake, but it
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: does happen often that sororities are not I would say,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: careful enough to really seek out who is a legacy
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: that is rushing and who is not because a lot
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: of the times girls.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Do get dropped. Do you think that that's partially because, like.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: After because it used to be so important, right, and
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: it could it would get you in, right, So.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it's basically a token to get you in. Like,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: but say, my daughter rushes, she should have legacy to
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Zeta no matter where she goes, and she should get
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: in no matter what. Right.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: But what I was going to ask was that, do
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: you think that after all these years, like people like, well,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: guess what, the mother was great, but the daughter not
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: so much, and now we have to take her, and
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: like there's like a revolt against that.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Like like lesson I think I think people I'm sure,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: you know, committees on sororities, and I'm sure they have
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: their fair share of saying that like, Okay, this girl's
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: a legacy, but I really don't think she fits in
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: with our sorority too bad. If she wants to be
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: in your sorority, you have.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: To accept her. Yeah, that's so right.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: So that's feel like I feel halfway through so I
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: kind of feel like in between. I feel like, so
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: when I was rushing, if you were a legacy, and
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: you made it on your own accord, like based on
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: your personality, based on your experiences, based on what you've accomplished,
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: based on the potential you had, right that, if you
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: made it on your own accord to pref Nite, so
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: the very final night of Rush, then if you still
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: were if you still had that sorority that you were
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: a legacy at on your list at pref Night, then
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: you were in no matter what. So I was a
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: legacy at Kyo and I made it to Kyo pref Night.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: So if I had chosen Kyo then I could have
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: then I would have one hundred percent gotten in, right,
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: but I chose to go Alpha Kai. So so I
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: feel like they should at least not make it so
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: that it's harder for you to get into the sorority, because,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: like I'm a great saying, I'm hearing that people are
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: are discounted for having that legacy. I don't think they
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: should be discounted, but I do still think that they
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: should like mesh with the sorority, that they should show
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: that they're they have a great personality that they're going
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: to fit in with whatever this sorority is and then
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: make it to prefnite, and if they make it to
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: pref Nite, then they then they're in, you know what I.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Mean, Yeah, I agree with that.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: I think that I wonder if part of this whole
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: legacy thing started because sororities are expensive. We know this, right, Yeah,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: you spend a lot of money and you're I don't know,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: maybe you feel like if you've spent thousands of dollars,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: you know, not just sometimes not just you know, during
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: the four years, but you're giving to your sorority. Let's say,
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: you know for years, you're you're right, you're going or
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: you're running for who whatever it is, and there's an
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: expectation there, right like I'm I'm giving all this money.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: I spent so much money. I want my daughter in.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: So I think that's probably part of it.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: It totally makes sense.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I think kind of what you were saying Tristall, like
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: if the legacy who is rushing does not want to
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: end up at the in that sorority, and they choose
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: to not be at that in that sorority at the.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: End of the day, so be it.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: But the sorority should never kick them out before they
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: have the choice to choose.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean before they even show who they are
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: as a person, and and like you don't even have
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: the chance to get to know them. That's what I
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: have a really big problem with. I just don't understand
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: why sororities don't give legacies a chance to even get
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: to know you, and they cut you before they even
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: meet you.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I think that's kind of bullshit too.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: I yeah, it doesn't make any sense to me.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: So this is apparently a thing as well. So you
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: have to do certain things if you're going to rush
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: an SEC school, right, and you have to like do
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: them now, right, So you have to submit letters of
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: recommendation by May. First, polish your social resume, heavily, prep
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: script your P and M video, clean up your socials.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, is SEC such a different thing.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Than other schools.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like you don't most schools want
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: that at this point, or most aurorities.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because SEC, like, yeah, it lets you.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Like have your parties, everything's ran by them.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, But I think that it's it's just a lot
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: more competitive, the whole rush process. I feel like because
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: of social media, you know, like or and you know,
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: especially tiktoks and know there are sororities that have gotten
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: famous off of right all those rights they put on
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Like I get sucked those I me too. It's so embarrassing,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: even like when Daisy went to go visit. So like
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: you watch one and then you watch a million. But
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: I'm watching these nineteen twenty twenty one year old girls
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: dance from their sorority house.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: So like, Jennifer, get a life. Why am I watching
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: one after the other?
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Of what am I doing?
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Exactly?
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: It's nuts, it is, it's crazy.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: And they have to like perform, you know, to like
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: bring girls in, Like they want the best of the best,
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: so they need to actually show, you know that they
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: are the best of the best. It's just so competitive
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: in the Southern schools. And I think actually that's part
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: of why these Southern schools are so popular because they
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: have put out this you know, these huge platforms on
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: TikTok and Instagram. Right, people are drawn in, even people
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: like you and me who are not rushing anytime.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: Soon joke, right, I know, it's crazy.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: It's crazy. Yeah.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: At sorority rush coach talks about ways that what people
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: like you now just to can support your daughter going
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: through rush, not this fall for your girl, but next fall. Right,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: you have to be her recruitment secretary and track down
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: the alumni, help plan outfits, practice conversations, be there twenty
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: four to seven. I should be there twenty four to
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: seven to my daughter. For God, you are out of luck.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely not. I'm sorry. They also need to like
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: spread their wings and do it on.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: The hell out of here, connected with resources like a
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: rush coach. This is not how again, this is not
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: how we roll here in the Fessler household. But but
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: I guess maybe it's good advice for people to go
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: going to SEC schools or Southern schools. Yeah, I'm gonna
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: be my daughter's secretary. She's my fucking secretary. Yeah, her secretary. Yeah,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: I am a parent secretary.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Oh man, I mean, and I will say I probably
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: will do all the things. I'll be your secretary because
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: I am actually so sad that my kids are going
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: to be leaving and I'm going to be an empty nester.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: So I am going to extend that as long as possible,
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: and I will be there, Blakeslee, I will be there
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: for you twenty four to seven.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: You just call me at two in the morning.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: I am not surprised. I am not surprised to hear this.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: I'm not even a little bit.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, I feel like you're saying it though, because you're
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: about to be an empty nester, so you want to
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: cherish every last moment. I do, Like, I mean, I
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: totally get that.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I get my mom.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, like right now, Audriana, she's sixteen, so she's
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: about to get her license.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: Which is like second eg.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: But my mom is like her does everything for her.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Audreanna says, Boo, my mom drops everything, and she's like yeah,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: but I want to, like, this is my last time
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: driving her around.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: And it's got you know when you drive your kids
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: to school.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: And I understand what she's saying, that's like your time
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: to bond and talk and ketojia.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: But by the way, it's because you had such a special, wonderful,
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: devoted mother.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Just so you are such a special, devoted, wonderful mother.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Not so much, Okay, I got news for you.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Empty nesting is the greatest. I'm sorry. I don't mean to.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: I know that's not what you may believe or think.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: You want to hear empty nesting is a gift. And
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: by the way, they come back all the time. Anyway,
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: I can't get rid of I got one upstairs right now.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: She's twenty three.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, No, I hope. I mean, I don't know I was.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: I'm just not. You had a better mother, Gia, and
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: you are knowing you're.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: No stop that anyway, you're a great mom.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: But going back to that sec thing, I do think
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the Southern schools by far put more pressure. So you know,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: trusting your daughter is you know, she's thinking about going
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: to Obama right or she is going to bad Oh.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: No, that's my my friend. Yes, no, no, no, yeah no,
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: she's probably gonna end to me California.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Oh okay.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: And and I don't think that the rush the Greek,
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: the Greek system where she'll be is as nearly as intense.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, okay, okay, awesome.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, my friend who's going to Bama,
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: and she probably is already in a sorty even though
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: she's not, because she's made all these connections. She's you know,
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: had lunch, she is friends with these girls. Now, I
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: don't know, it's just it's just crazy that it happens
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: so early.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Just so early.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: Why can't they get through high school and then worry
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: about this stuff when they get to college or at
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: least after they graduate, like the day after they graduate, fine,
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: but during their high school year it is just insane
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: to me that they have to agree about that. And
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: and honestly, now that we're talking, I'm like, gosh, if
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: if Blakesley is going to rush, maybe we should start
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: thinking about stuff now that.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: Still it's making nervous. Well, I mean, but you also.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Have a friend who has a business, so she'll cut
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: you a deal.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: I'm sure, I hope. So you better help me out.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Ask her, have the conversation with her. If she really
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: feels like she needs that, and if you feel like
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: she needs that as a mom, then okay, but I'm
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: telling you I really don't think it is fully necessary.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: But the other piece, g you remember because you just
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: did it a few years ago. But like the pressure
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: of senior year, there's so much I remember senior year
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: just the prom dress alone, right, that is a twenty
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: four hour Oh, I guess we already.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: So she's got prom in like two weeks, and of
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: course all of the dresses that they want to order
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: now are all on TikTok, right, Okay, so these are
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: the only dresses that girls want to order.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Now, that's so crazy, right, you.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: Don't go to a store.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: I'm like, we live in Denver, Colorado. We don't live
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: in Vail anymore. Like we can go to plenty of
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: stores and look at dresses. And she's like, no, Mom,
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: that's not how you do it. You have to like, look,
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: you have to find the dress or whatever. And then
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: as a mom, you have to make sure that these
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: websites are actually legit. You know that they're not like
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: scamming you out of your money. So we bought this
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: dress and I think it came from overseas, of course,
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: and then we get it and it doesn't fit, so
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: I have to return it and I think I returned
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: it to Kazakhstan or something that crazy. Yeah, it probably
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: costs you more than the dress to return it, right, right,
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: we did just find one, but oh my gosh, it
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: isn't How about like you have to do the bed, right,
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: you do the freaking in that. Nobody just a hell
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: out of here with this.
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: No, I love one of my friends did that? Yeah
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: you did? Oh I'm not gonna.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, I mean all of this stuff you do, right,
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: So I'm just hoping that that well, I really don't
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: care now because I'm out of it. But like for
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: someone like Chris that you have to like hire a
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: five thousand dollars coach, maybe it's the maybe that is
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: the way to go. I don't know, gosh, anyway, I
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: don't know.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: I just yeah, I mean, I'd rather that five thousand
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: dollars go towards something else, like a trip that we
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: make memories at, you know, or something like.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: That, or a bracelet for me. Oh yeah, it's bracelet
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: for me anyway. All right, So what about? There are
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: apparently P.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: And M video tips that will help you to stand out,
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: and if you go to at Sorority Rush Coach you
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: can find them. But it says be specific, tell your story,
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: check your lighting practice, show your unique non app academic traits.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, okay, I understand that. I think
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: recording yourself is a lot more intimidating than just having
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: that like person to person connection and in person connection.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I think recording yourself can be intimidating and you're trying
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: to be engaging and peak somebody's interest through a video
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I think that's definitely a little challenging. I do agree
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: with the good lighting. You know, get one of those
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: ring lights that you see all over TikTok and on Amazon.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: And then yeah, you have to tell your story. I mean, obviously,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: don't go through your whole academic portfolio and be boring,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: because then that's a snooze fest. But I would talk about,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: you know, if you were on the cheer team and
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: what you enjoyed most, and if you were in sports
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: or how involved you were, and you know, maybe tell
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: a funny story. I think that is my best advice.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: But I do understand how it can be a little
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: awkward just trying to, you know, show somebody your personality
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: through a video. I think in person connection is a
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: lot better.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah did you do a video?
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Gia?
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: No?
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: I so I'm is this a thing like that everyone does?
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: Because I have not even I didn't even know what
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: this was until rite just this Rachel.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Oh did she Okay?
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I didn't?
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: I believe she did.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: I remember, well, she also was different things she rushed
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: during COVID.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: But that's probably why I definitely.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: How to put something together. Yeah, that's definitely right, right,
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: so different, but.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: I wonder if that's what started it, you know, because
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: they had a videos or could have.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Maybe narrowed down like around or something or some I
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: We went through it about a million times, that video,
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: so I have to admit, I.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: Mean, honestly, that would be like the pressure situation is
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: coming up with a video where you're not going to
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: be cringey and you're going to be you know, come
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: across as somebody who they want to have in their
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: sorority and coming up with something super unique. It's kind
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: of like the videos that like, you guys didn't but
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: didn't have to do this, But when I applied to
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: be on The Bachelor, you know, like coming up with
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: a video that these people send in they submit to
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: be on reality shows, it's like coming up with something
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: like that that you show who you are, you showcase
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: your personality in a unique and fun way. But gosh,
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: the pressure for that too. But you're right, Lighting is
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: a girl's best friend. I always say that, So make
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: sure that you have really good lighting and a great story.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: I agree, all right, ladies.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: So lastly, things that get you drop from sorority recruitment
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: bad talking of any of the houses, being mean, to
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: any of the girls during rush hallelujah.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: I like that one talking about the bee.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking that means boys, gaze boys boys.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: If you are going out and drinking during rush, that
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: is a big no no. Basically during your entire rush process.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: You it's called dry rush, like that's.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: What you're doing.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: You are not going out, You're rushing in the sorority.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: And if that's what you want to do, that's what
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: you want to do. I wouldn't fool around with any
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: boys that you don't know, because odds are they're probably
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: talking to one of your potential sorority sisters. So I
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: would just not do anything until after you're in the sorority.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Or you cannot do anything period, which is what I
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: told my daughter before.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: She was right, don't do don't drink, don't you try
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: to and no boys and that one over that one
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: over big yes, Oh, I'm for sure.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: I'm sure for sure sure her.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, she always does whatever I say, gospel for sure.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: I mean I think those are probably good. Those are
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: I don't I have no album with.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: That, right.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah's your life in general, just just whatever you would do,
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: Like if you're going to do something where I'm standing
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: right next to you, and you think that I'm going
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: to be judging you.
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: That's what the girls are doing. So just assume.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: That is the best advice ever. Assume your mom is
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: standing right next to you. Yes, don't do anything of
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: that sort during Rush.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: Rachel, you hear that, Yeah, I'd never listen to me.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: It's working anyway, all right, ladies, so listen. That's it
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: for this episode of Dirty Rush. I loved this episode.
