, the cheer team that was in Texas. And we were so obsessed with those young college kids and them trying to fit in and find a way. And they were all aiming for this one goal of winning the national championship. I just think there's something really special about watching young people try to find their place in the world.

BuzzFeed Daily: What's so interesting is that people aren't just following the hashtag, you know, overall, but they're also following specific girls who are rushing.

BuzzFeed Daily: Have you seen conversations happening on social media about diversity and the pledge system?Yeah, definitely. I know a lot of people on TikTok were saying,"Oh, it's so interesting to watch Rush TikTok on Alabama, knowing that I'm a Black woman and I wouldn't have been allowed in the sororities before 2013." And it's definitely bringing up conversations about the whole system. I mean, sororities were founded on white supremacy.
Okay but who remembers when MTV had a tv show called Sorority Life? 😂 I was legit watching that at 12 years old
