HBO Max documentary “Bama Rush” aims to expose some secrets behind the glamorous, expensive life of a wannabe sorority sister. University of Alabama’s sororities received widespread fame among Gen-Z a few years ago when #RushTok took over For You pages on TikTok. However, dangerous hazing practices have sparked lawsuits and accusations of racism and bullying behind the glamorous doors of the houses.Former members have come forward to express how the exclusive Greek life can lead to discrimination.
Gracie O’Connor, who appears in the documentary, claimed that sororities received their rank largely based on how “hot” they are deemed by the campus fraternities. “The rankings come from fraternity boys,’ O’Connor said in the trailer. “So the top house has the hottest girls.” A quick search of Instagram shows profiles dedicated to highlighting girls who are rushing.
Many blonde-haired, blue-eyed girls with bible quotes in their bios grace the page with professional photos of themselves and an introduction paragraph excitedly explaining why they wish to rush. The new documentary exposes girls admitting to having eating disorders because of what boys said to them growing up and it takes a deep dive into the mental health inside Greek life. Filmmaker Rachel Fleit told Vice: “I wanted to create a documentary that was grounded in this culture, this Greek system, and it would serve as this lightning rod to talk about what it means to be a young woman.
“We could talk about feminism, and we could talk about competition between women, body image, racism, sexism, classism, and sexual assault on campus or in general. There were all these big topics that I thought we could explore in the film by going into the Greek system. And we did.”

What has fallen flat at Pixar? This is the innovative animation studio that pushed all before it in the first decade of this millennium, that invented a way of turning the plastic finish of digital animation to its advantage in the towering Toy Story, that was prepared to start a film with a 20-minute scene with no dialogue in Wall-E – and revealed that kids didn’t care – and that would make an adventure film with a hero aged 78 years young in UP!. Kids didn’t care about that either, as it turned out, because Carl Fredricksen was a grumpy-gramps adventurer who also didn’t care what others thought of him. Pixar always had something new up its collective artistic sleeve. And yet here they are, coming out with a film as dull-witted and syrupy as Elemental.
