Now I really wanna go through rush week because you made it sound so fun!!!
Yes it’s sooo fun!!
great advice!! i rushed this semester and so far it has been the best experience everrrrr
Not to disrespect you or anything, this is few side notes about joining Greek Life (As I'm a Brother of Theta Xi). 1st, Greek life is NOT for everyone, it takes a lot of commitment esp when you get in. also whatever you do will reflect back to your org and vice versa.
I'm not sure if all the Greek life is the same but in my university is not only for 4 years as a sister or brother but is forever.
This is true^^
Thank you for this video!! I'm planning on rushing at Bama in the fall. I'll be a sophomore. Roll Tide!!
Sororities never interested me but I sat here and watched this whole video 😂 btw I would love a video about how you use your iPad for school, like do you take notes on it? I just got an iPad Pro for Christmas and can’t wait to use it for spring semester! I love you 💖
Can you do a makeup routine? Your makeup looks great all the time! ❤ U MADI
Bailey Girl yesss
She did one pretty recently! I think right before she left to come home for Christmas.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH! YOU ARE THE REASON I STARTED A CHANNEL!
This really helps me bc I'm gonna transfer to a bigger state school in the fall as a junior!
Never clicked on a video so fast!! Also loving the intro!
ahhh my fav youtuber 💘💓
You're a Pi Phi??? Me too!! I love finding other sisters!!
Can’t wait for your video on going through recruitment from the other side! You think rush is awkward...just wait until you’re the one dealing with awkward PNMs 😂🤦🏼♀️
love your outfit and makeup!
YESSSSS RUSH PI PHI!!!!! PPL&M
Alabama is my dream school! Will you do a video on sorority scholarships 🐘
I don't think sorority scholarships are a thing...but another great youtuber is Loren Norris, she's also goes to bama and lives in her sorority house pi beta phi
obsessing over your intro!!!!!
I’m going to Bama next year and I’m so indecisive on whether to rush or not. I’m so nervous!
I would rush just for the experience! You can always drop if you need to
I'm headed to Bama next year too! I'm thinking about rushing but I'm also super nervous!
@@vampirelover286 it is a great experience.
Waiting for this video for forever ❤️
What sparkly color are you wearing on your lid?!! I love it!!!
I think the fees turn me off so much
Erin Daly same, that’s the only reason i’m not going to rush because I would be paying for it myself
Ah girl!! I'm a Pi Phi in Ontario, Canada!! PPLAM xoxox
heyy! I live in Ontario! glad to see some pi phi's here in Canada
ok so I'm going through rush in the fall and I just submitted my stuff to mybama and Im asking people for recs...but I'm nervous because I don't know what folders you're talking about and about the pictures because I only submitted 1...helpppp
😂 girl go to Loren Norris she has a whole playlist and walks you through the headshots and rec letters and folders. she also goes to bama and lives in the pi phi house
omg i was a pi phi at bama!! PPL :)) love it!!
Your intro is so cute!!
Do I can join a sorority when I‘m an international student? 🙈
I would like to know as well!
I don’t know 100% for sure, but I’ve seen other comments from others saying that if you’re staying all 4 years, then you can but if you’re just going to the school for a year or so then you can’t (I’m not totally sure but I heard that)
yes, majority of Alabama is international and out of state students and so many ethnicities and race go through rush.
Love you madi!!! Do you like Australian candy? Have you ever tried some?
Calli Bagles now I really want a Tim tam
I'm a Pi Phi at the University of Toronto (ON Alpha) PPL&M
heyy! glad to see some pi phi's here in Toronto!
Your so pretty oml😩❤
I loved watching your video. You seem so sweet and funny. I hope your enjoying your sorority to its fullest.
Love you so much 😫❤️ your the best ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
mannn alabama is my DREAM school
I love the new intro.
So what is the actual point in a sorority ? X
A lot of women join for different reasons! Personally, I joined because I grew up in a family of boys so it was exciting for me to find sisters to bond with! My best friends in college are from my sorority! It's a great support system as well as a great way to network. My grandbig is actually in medical school at the moment and she is hooking me up with some great references and setting up meetings for me to meet advisors!
dailydianna thanks , but what do you do in a sorority ? X
We plan service events as well as our signature philanthropy events. We hold fundraisers for our philanthropies. I am in Kappa Alpha Theta so our philanthropy is CASA, so we donate money, time, and crafts to them! We also hold a lot of sisterhoods where we just hang out, whether we're just having good food, doing karaoke, or crafting!
do you think visible tattoos hinder you being selected?
I’m in Pi Phi at the University of Iowa!! It’s awesome! I love it💙❤️
Yes sister!!
omg i just committed to iowa for the fall and am rushing in august! can you give me some advice??
Gabby M yeah of course!! Check out my RUclips channel too because i plan on doing a rush video too 💕💥
omg please do college videos, ive been looking for youtubers who go to iowa!! and do i need a certain gpa and recommendation letters for iowa like she did for bama? :/
Gabby M No!! I went into rushing completely open minded and the phrase is just to “trust the process”!! It’s an awesome experience though, I’m so excited for you!!
lots of love from a ZTA in Texas 💙
Hi I am going to the University of Alabama and I am planning on rushing but I do not know anyone that has been there or was previously in a sorority there. When you say recommendation letters do you mean any sorority from any school? or specifically to Alabama. Please let me know because I know sorority recruitment at alabama is harder than other schools
hey! Im in Kappa Alpha Theta at Bama and letters of rec. are dependent on the sorority. Most want from members from any school, but some are specific on if it can be from and alum or a current member or both so pay attention to that. If you can join a Bama rush groupme for 2018 once registration happens join it bc people will have a ton of info in it and its really helpful but be careful what you say in it bc sometimes actives are in it watching the PMNs. Hope this helps.

I heard that you have to do a lot of scary and different things to get into a sorority. Like, sleeping outside for a night meeting new people, and doing a bunch of crazy things. Did you have to do that?
No you do not have to do that!
No you don’t have to do that!
my mom was also a ZTA !!
can you please do a q & a about the university of alabama
omg girl please tell me where u got ur comforter I love it
Bed bath and beyond
what do you do if you don’t know anyone to get letters of recommendation from?
Most houses don’t require letters so you don’t need it if you really can’t find anyone. They’re just highly recommended
I have seen call outs on facebook from parents looking for connections amongst their friends. I have also had advisors to sororities say it isn't absolutely necessary so not too worry too much about it.
Your so pretty💕
is it free to rush and if you don't like any of the sororities can you just go back to every day life
There might be an application fee but it’s not too expensive! And if you don’t like any, then you can drop out
I got the university of Alabama and I’m in Phi Mu
Do you have to have recommendation letters for every sorority? My friend's parents weren't in sororities, my mom's friends weren't either. Like what could I do to get letters if I don't know people? Also what'd did you wear for bid day shoe wise?
Ryan Collins contact and alumnae chapter near you! they can help you out! For me i just wore converse high tops on bid day
if you check out Loren norris, she's a pi phi at bama, and she has a whole playlist of the rec letters, how to get them, headshots, and folders.
How are you able to get letter of rec for a bunch of different houses?
what if i didn’t go to highschool and got my ged??
If you go through rush week, then decide you don’t want to be in a sorority, how does that work?
I’m not 100% sure. I think you just let your group leader know and there’s some formal process you have to go through but it’s not anything big i think you just have sign something but i could be completely wrong.
its different in each university. Where i live me, rush lasts 2 weeks and theres no real commintment during rush.
I found ur channel an I would like to know how u r in college when ur 16? Did u do homeschool?
I’m 18 hahah
Where can you get rec letters?? I only know one girl that’s in a sorority.
What made u choose the sorority that you are in?
Do you know if juniors are allowed to join sororities?? I’m going to be transferring as a junior to the university of Tampa for the fall and I really wanna join but don’t know if I can
:(
Carley A Hey! I know I’m not Maddie but I am involved in Greek life and juniors are definitely allowed! My Grandbig in my sorority joined as a junior and a friend of mine joined as a senior! You might want to email someone in your school’s Greek life office to be sure because every school does things differently!
xoxcheerfreak omg awesome thank you so much!!
Hey! I actually go to The University of Tampa and had two juniors in my pledge class this year! If you want to go through recruitment, do it!!
You’re welcome! Good luck with everything!
Briana Nieves yay that’s awesome thank you! What grade are you in?
I’m transferring to bama next fall and I’ll be a junior and so I’m torn between rushing or not but this video was very helpful.
Morgan Hawkins im going next fall as well and im not
I go to Alabama and I joined my sorority as a sophomore and there were a few juniors in my pledge class!!
only 1/3 of the student population are involved in greek life! it's just really hyped
Madi the university includes grad students when they say only a third of students are involved, but grad students can’t be active in Greek life so it’s really closer to half of undergrads!
Im a senior in high school right now but i really wanna be in a sorority but im not a good test taker so my act scores werent good but my grades in school are A and B so is scores a big thing if i have good grades ?
They mostly look at your overall gpa :)
Madi Westbrooke omg thank you !!!😊
i used to want to want to join a sorority until i heard about the hazing and how they force the girls to do cruel and such horrible disgusting things so now im scared to. Advice anyone?
They don’t do any of that! Panhellenic is very against it.
Madi Westbrooke oh okay! Im glad u are part of such an amazing one then💚btw i look up to u!

How did you meet Tyler?
What's the deal with people calling you their big/little? How does that work?
Some time that first year you get assigned a big (sister, you can think of it as) and then you of course are their Little, kind of like an extra close relationship. She showers you with gifts some of which were handed down from her big and her big's big (grandbig). It creates "families" as you have grandbigs, bigs, littles, and then after your first year, you get your own little. Despite the fact I automatically think of it as Big Sister/Little sister, I usually don't hear anyone use terms other than Big/Little. I may be thinking of old lingo! In such a large organization (although at other schools not as large as at Alabama) I would think having a specific person to connect to is nice. I am already out of school and was never going to do the Greek thing (prided myself on independence and it was not financially doable) but I think it sounds like fun to have sisterhood connections.
definitely watch Lauren Norris! she's a pi phi at Alabama, watch the beginning of her big little reveal videos because she explains
was rush week hard to keep up with and was it hard to find all of the houses
No! All of the houses were together and by the time the first round is over you pretty much know where they all are
Madi Westbrooke thanks!!! love you madi💘💘
I really want to go to Bama & rush , but the recent racial scandal has really opened my eyes. Is race a factor when rushing ? And is it a huge deal through out the school ? I understand that bama is really big, but is it as bad as people say ?
No it is not a huge factor. There will be those people everywhere you go but i absolutely love alabama and the Greek life they have here
Madi Westbrooke OMG Thanks :)) I wasn’t expecting you to answer haha !! Love your content !!
Roll tide
Did you get a rec letter for every sorority?
Yes i did
Madi Westbrooke how were you able to do that? I'm struggling to find enough people
I’m a Pi Phi at WSU😇💕
A lot of sorority’s are in Alabama I live in Alabama btw
PPLAM from Pi Phi at the UCF :) :) :) xxxx
Did you ever have braces before?
I did in 8th grade!
Do you have to get your teeth whitened for recruitment?
Hi I am from Greece
can you rush as a freshman?
Yes!
PPL from a PA Zeta Alumna!
What’s the initials of your sorority?
hbo but like Greek letters
pretty sure that's an h anyways lol
#ppl from FL Alpha Chapter!!!
Go DAWGS 🐶‼️
Are grades a huge part of recruitment?
yes. Houses will vary, but there are minimum GPA requirements and each house wants to keep up its average GPA. Alabama recommends having an 3.2 at least as you enter recruitment and says your options may be limited if you are below a 3.0. At my school, you had to log study hours in the library at least during your pledge period.
were you actually on drill team?
Hahah yes i was
omg thats so cool!! were you a rosette? im a silver wing at hebron
YO IT'S DOM AND THE BEAR! LET US IN NOW. WE ARE GETTING MARRIED.
Alabama is for Greek life. You don’t go there for the education 😂
Do these same houses have a men's sorority? Sorority houses have been in the news a lot lately. What happens to your membership if someone dies because of hazing or something and the school shuts the house down?
PS: Loved your top, it looked really feminine. :)
A lot of sororities are very strict on hazing. Fraternities are easier to get away with from the stories i hear
So pretty❤️❤️❤️❤️
Did you ever feel concerned about a house dropping you?
Maybe a little at first but you just have to remember to trust the process and know you will end up where you’re supposed to be
check out my most recent video to see what recruitment is like behind the scenes!
and i’m only 13
Why are American Girls plain looking compared to the girls from Britain and Sweden?I think that Christianity has something to do with it because both Britain and Sweden are Atheist Countries.
Ever had braces?
she said she did in 8th grade
