So this week's episode… I don't even know where to start. I was hungover, hormonal, sweating through my clothes — literally not okay on every level. Thankfully, Brooke Shelby came through because misery loves company, and we are spiraling together.We talk about PMDD, throwing up after two martinis, being obsessed with Ozzy Osbourne, the drama at Starbucks (Matcha Watergate is REAL), and why I think the honeymoon phase with Tyler might be… over?? Maybe. Kinda. Sorta. Anyway. We're unpacking everything from Backstreet Boys to Love Island to Bama Rush and why the hell I'm emotionally invested in 19-year-olds picking sororities.Mental health? Down bad. Makeup? Sweaty. But we're here, we're talking about it, and we're making it funny. Kinda.CALL THE HOTLINE AND TRAUMA DUMP:

From the outfits to the conversations to the unspoken rules, Leighton explains what really happens during this high-pressure week. Sorority recruitment has captured worldwide attention—most recently as the subject of HBO's Bama Rush documentary and Lifetime's new series A Sorority Mom's Guide to Rush.

In recent years, Greek life faced a crisis as the pandemic cast a shadow on recruitment, and the “abolish Greek life” movement grew across campuses. But then came #RushTok — a flurry of TikToks documenting the sorority recruitment process among university campuses, especially in the South. One tag, in particular, soared to remarkable heights: #BamaRush. It chronicled the rush process at the University of Alabama and has garnered an astonishing 3 billion TikTok views (and counting). This week we speak to writer, journalist, and former sorority sister Anne Helen Petersen, who has been documenting the phenomenon. Why are the videos dominating our feeds? And what does RushTok's popularity say about its stars... and its biggest stans? Anne Helen Petersen is a writer and journalist whose writing has appeared in BuzzFeed News, The New York Times, Vox, The Atlantic, and more. Her books include Out of the Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working From Home and Can't Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation. She writes a Substack newsletter called Culture Study. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Sarah watched the Bama Rush documentary so we don't have to. The film explores the process of joining an Alabama sorority, the overlord organizations that control the bylaws, and the women who want to join. She explains how there are power dynamics, systemic issues, and all the usual issues plaguing women (e.g. self-esteem, consumerism, body image, etc). We even learn some weird jargon including "rush bag" and "PNMs" (Potential New Members). Sarah shares what technique her mom used to teach her about alcohol tolerance and responsible drinking, but Susie thinks her approach only worked because Sarah is mature and a rule-follower. We bemoan the way we have not gotten any perks from reality tv, but our family members have somehow. We learn about "girl trends" like girl dinner and girl math, and we debate whether it's making space for females without kids, husbands, and partners, or whether it reinforces stereotypes (or both!). We celebrate the Nebraska women's volleyball and the ad campaign that shows why female athletes are just as exciting to watch as men. We trash that loser coach who kissed a female player without her consent.

This week, Kate reviews the Bama Rush doc on (HBO) Max and discusses why she thinks the doc fell short of our expectations as viewers and voyeurs of this Tiktok phenomenon. First, she reviews her initial reaction, the director's role in it, why she realized it would be impossible for cameras to get on the inside, and reviews some of the core themes that were touched on but not explored. She also speculates about the important things, like sticker gate with Holiday. Then, Kate is joined by another Kate (from Reality Life with Kate Casey), and they pick up where the convo left off on her podcast (link below) and discuss more sorority lore, questions the doc left unanswered, and even do a role-playing exercise where one Kate asks the other if certain behaviors would get PNMs the boot from recruitment. She also provides a detailed list of what's on this week's must-watch list.
