So really came in with no idea of what to expect other than just seeing TikToks, TV shows, everything like that.

Lori had lists that she'd put together for the different rounds of Rush for what she kind of suggested or things she would absolutely love for people to wear during Rush.

And then it was also very important to have like personal style.

So finding things that you like that kind of match that mood and then texting her or showing her on calls and just being on board with everything.

It was kind of total freedom, but then also you had something to go off of at the same time.

I was just meeting people who Alabama Rush and sorority rush in general, like that's their livelihood.

It usually dates back to like mothers, grandparents, aunts, everything like that.

That's what they live for.

I went into the week feeling very relaxed because I was so organized.

And I think if I hadn't done that, I would have been freaking out every night.

I get ready pretty fast, so two hours isn't crazy.

That's like a usually like 5.30, 6 a.m.

wake up.

But there were definitely girls waking up at 4 or 5 in the morning.

There was a solid group of maybe 50, 75 girls outside your dorm every morning waiting for the bus.

It was like, what are girls wearing today?

Maybe I should wear this tomorrow instead of this outfit.

But I would say I felt pretty on par with everything and all the girls and what they were wearing.

But I think sometimes it was reassuring because I felt super dressed up most of the days.

And then I would see other girls and be like, okay, you get me.
