watched it and just want the drama without having to devote an hour and 40 minutes of your time. Either way, from #rushtok to the secret Machine, here I am to tell you what the doc covered... plus additional info, when necessary.The documentary details exactly what on earth"rush" is. As Elizabeth Boyd puts it,"Rush is a social stratification, bar none.
Through use of guests such as Dr. Boyd and interviews with women from both top and low-ranked houses, the doc frames Greek life as being about social power and proximity to in-groups. Every year, about 2,500 girls register to rush at Bama for the chance to get into the most prestigious and popular of sororities.But what makes a sorority popular? The documentary provides an answer:"Fraternity boys, or boys in general," says Gracie O'Connor, a member of Pi Beta Phi at Alabama.
"I've always needed a thing to be a part of, like, as part of my identity; it's been really hard for me to find, like, a sense of...self-worth, or, like, pride in something, because I feel like I don't really know who I am, you know?"Fleit interviews Diana B. Turk, a professor at NYU, about the origins and goals of sororities in general.
One Sigma Kappa sister, Rian, talks about the microaggressions she's faced from sorority sisters as a Black woman."There's one girl in my sorority that... probably every time that I, like, sit down and I talk to her, she's like, 'Remind me, which one of your parents is white?' I'm like, 'It's still my mom. It is still my mom, every single time that you will ask me.
