The Update | June 20, 2023
Industry Update Provided by NPC
Buzzfeed published a recap of the Bama Rush documentary, with mentions of The Machine, Alabama’s desegregation of Greek life in 2013, sexism, and sorority popularity. The article contained screenshots of Twitter users’ reviews of the documentary. The piece also breaks down major themes of the documentary, including the origins and goals of sororities in general, violence against women, and the historical exclusion of women of color.
News Nation reported that it costs an average of $1,000-$4,750 per semester to join a sorority. These costs include application fees, member dues, recruitment fees, and social expenses—though, a substantial amount also goes into outfits and rush consultants, particularly at schools with large Greek communities like the University of Alabama.
