Let's be honest, I probably would not be going to Alabama if it did not blow up on TikTok.

So I grew up about an hour outside of Boston, Massachusetts, in a small town, no connection to the South at all.

Just seeing TikToks, it's a huge pageant pretty much at the end of the day.

Interviewing with all these girls, going to different houses, seeing which one overall you can pretty much win is kind of how I like to look at Bama Rush.

I've always wanted that kind of relationship.

Like, I'm the youngest child, so having, like, a younger sister in theory is super exciting to me.

But then also having an older sister mentor on campus was super important, coming from being so many miles away.

My mom and I really started digging through Rush stuff and what it was all about.

Outfits, how to prep and everything like that.

And one of the things we found was people use sorority consultants.

I never knew anyone who had one personally.

I could go and see her during the week if I needed to.

And that was the key factor for my mom because she couldn't be here.

So she's like, okay, she can have a second mom.

I think for us, it was just, we're going all in.

We're going to get the highest package and just roll with it.

will be worthwhile for the results we want at the end of Bama Rush.

I put hobbies.

I think on mine I had like Pilates, like podcast enthusiast, and then something else.

So I would say previous to Alabama, I had no connection to the South at all.
