Morgan, Bama Rush’s Biggest Call to Action for Change
by: Former Greek President
There is a reason why hundreds of thousands of people rallied behind a single girl with thunderous enthusiasm. From fellow PNMs to non-Greek Gen Xers who have never posted on Tik Tok but were glued to every morning to see that this one girl made it another day.
With the haze of rush so daunting I guess it isn’t obvious to you like it is to us. Morgan is the most special because Morgan is relatable, normal, kind and natural. For everyone of us who went through the factory that created molds that could easily be seen as a certain Greek letter organization only to find the hard truth that no one can hide who they are despite whatever filter or presentation we want the public to see, we wish that we would have had more Morgan’s around us.
It amazes me that the most popular and adored rushee didn’t find a place in any of your houses. Well, at least Morgan found people who love her for who she is and I pray she turns this setback into her greatest comeback, and I pray you all learn how to be more like Morgan. One day you will understand what that means.

I think this is proof that recruitment is NOT a popularity contest. Also, Morgan’s grades or extracurriculars could have been severely lacking, who knows how well she stacked up against the thousands of other women rushing. Not to mention, the persona she put out there could have been totally faked, she literally invented the hashtag “relatable rush.” You think a handful of TikToks prove the quality of a person?? I’m sure she’s a great girl, but she would only get dropped by all houses if she were severely lacking in important qualifications or broke the rules, probably both here honestly.

40 year old Moms loved her. Women who were never in sororities loved her. Bama Sorority girls….not so much. Go figure.
Also, hundreds of girls get dropped. Hundreds of girls that look like her are in sororities. So maybe it was a bit more than her looks as the 40 year old Moms are claiming.

The teen vogue article published Morgan’s last name. It’s very easy to see public socials of Morgan and her mother, who has college attendance listed in her bio, discussing rush recs months and months ago. Either Morgan is so generally oblivious that she’s a liability for both sorority and university retention, or it’s casually calculated manipulation of parasocial TikTok relationships.

Brandis was the problem. Her first video about this girl is one that is really making fun of her for not having the right loom, right brands and right room decor and saying omg this poor girl, literally insinuating she is poor, and that if she doesn’t get the right brands no sorority ever will accept her hey let’s all send her money so she can improve herself and be someone we want to look at and see OOTDs. At the core, the post was mean.
And this girl is 18, overwhelmed, confused on what to do, not super confident and also scared that yeah maybe without the right brands it would be all over. She made a mistake putting her Venmo out there and the article was a bad decision too. But the sponsored posts ? meh girls have done those and the OOTDs too so no fault there.
Then she gained followers for the way she acted in TT. People were loving that persona so maybe she felt hey I better keep that up during rush parties bc it clearly works bc it gained her so much attention on TT. Again she is only 18 and if someone isn’t used to all that attention and it’s unexpected it’s hard to know what to do and overwhelming.
She should have asked her Rho chi for advice as soon as she started to get the attention from Brandis first post on what she should do. I would hope that her Rho chi would have advised her to turn down

Worse, her academics were too good and she had enough credits to basically be a junior thanks to her dual enrollment early college program. Everyone knows juniors don't do well because they aren't around long enough.
