Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
Welcome to Dirty Rush, the truth about Sorority Life with your hosts, me, Gia
Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
Giudice, Daisy Kent and Jennifer Kessler. Welcome back to another episode of Dirty Rush. Today we're going to be chatting with some of the biggest names in the influencer world who also happen to know a thing or two about sorority life.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
They're sharing the real inside scoop, what Rush was actually like, the surprises along the way, and how they reflect on the experience. Now, if you've ever wondered how to navigate the scene and come out on top, these guests have the tips, tricks and stories you won't want to miss.
Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
Hey, Brooke.
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
Hi.
Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
So where did you go to school?
Brooke (Sorority Member from UCLA)
I went to ucla.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
So what made you want to rush at ucla?
Brooke (Sorority Member from UCLA)
I went to a really small high school, so I think that was part of it. Like, I really wanted to embrace the big college experience. Ucla, also Greek life. I would say there's a good amount of people in it, but it's not something where it's this huge, all encompassing. Everybody on the campus does it. So it definitely seemed a lot more relaxed than some of the other schools, which I was excited about. I definitely don't know how much I would have fit in and like more of a southern rush culture where it was very intense. So it felt like a good balance. And also going into school, I talked to some girls who were in sororities and they really enjoyed their experience.
Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
So did you have any, like, stereotypes, like, going in and you said, like, in the south, how it was, like, kind of know what it was going to be about.
Brooke (Sorority Member from UCLA)
I also was raised, like, in Tempe, Arizona, which is like where ASU is. And ASU is like almost an entirely different, I feel like, type of intense with sororities where it is just like a huge part of a lot of their lives. And I guess they had that stereotype. And I also, like, had heard other, like, more negative stereotypes. But at the end of the day also, like, my mom was in a sorority and like, my middle name is her little's name. Like, that's how they were. So I also like, in the back of my mind, as much as I had heard stereotypes, I also grew up with, like, at the end of the day, a lot of it is about sisterhood. And you will probably meet your best friends for.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
Well, your mom had a great experience, so that's definitely what made you feel super positive going into it.
Brooke (Sorority Member from UCLA)
Probably 100%, yeah.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
Did you go in with a dream house?
Brooke (Sorority Member from UCLA)
I was on the dance team in college and for ucla, that means you have to move out, like, six weeks early to start training, and all of those girls were on houses. So I definitely knew by the time that I rushed, like, girls had been telling me, like, oh, like, you're so this or you're so that, or, like, this is the vibe, or that's the vibe. I think I definitely knew I would feel more comfortable being in a house where, like, I had a teammate already, because they already kind of knew the vibe, which was, like, three or four of them. But outside of that, I was trying as much as possible to be, like, open mind, open mind.
Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
That's awesome that you got to go and, like, did you be there before and, like, meet some of the girls and then going back to your, like, dance. So you started doing, like, influencing a little, like, before you went to school, right?
Brooke (Sorority Member from UCLA)
Honestly, kind of not really. Like, I had when I was younger, like, growing up dancing, like, I had posted dance videos of my myself, and that had, like, kind of gained some traction. But going into college, I had, like, I don't know, maybe 6,000 Instagram followers and, like, 2,000 TikTok followers and, like, leaving it. Now I have, like, a lot more. But most of it, like, started really, like, my freshman sophomore year.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
You mainly documented your dance life right now, and then when did you start bringing in your sorority life?
Brooke (Sorority Member from UCLA)
Yeah, so I actually ended up joining my sorority's, like, board for marketing.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
You were on ec?
Brooke (Sorority Member from UCLA)
Yeah, so I started. I did two years of holding leadership. So the first year I was the director of pr, and then the second, I was the vice president of marketing. And through that, I just got a lot more plugged in in general, but then also got a lot more involved in, like, Rush TikTok because of that as well. So I feel like probably my first year that I went through Rush on the other side. So, like, my sophomore fall, I started making Rush TikToks, and people started really engaging with that. And then after that, I would make, like, advice videos. I would also make advice or videos talking about, like, my position and stuff and, like, my experience, because I definitely was like, wow. A lot of people want to, like, know what this is. Like, like.
Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
So, yeah, it's so interesting because I feel like. I mean, I graduated. When did I graduate? I graduated in 2021. And I'm like. I feel like that's, like, soon. Like, that was, like, the phase when, like, yeah, I was, like, really blowing up. Like, they're like the year before that over Covid. And so I feel like right after that was when all this sorority, like, rush talk or rush talk stuff happened. And it's just so interesting, all of it.
Brooke (Sorority Member from UCLA)
I 100% even, like, I rushed in 2021. That was, like, my fall, and then I graduated in 2025. And even just seeing the different types of expectations that evolved each year of, like, what you're supposed to do during sorority recruitment and the content you're supposed to produce and all of this stuff, like, that evolution in the past four years has been insane. So it's been very interesting to watch and was really cool to be of that, like, evolution of, like, getting these major brand deals and, like, doing these big group TikTok dances. And I'm excited to see where it goes from here.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
What do you think the biggest lie is that Rush tells you?
Brooke (Sorority Member from UCLA)
I would say, like. Do you mean in terms of, like, the rush process itself, really being in a sorority?
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
I would say Russian recruitment.
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
Yeah.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
Like, how that differs from actually then being in the sorority. Do you think it's kind of like. And, you know, a little tale, and then you're in it and it's a little different?
Brooke (Sorority Member from UCLA)
I would say, like, I guess rushing. You're definitely sold, like a fairy tale. Like, it's definitely, like, everything's going to be great all the time. We're all so close. And I think, especially going into my freshman year, like, you want to buy into that because you're like, I'm so scared. Like, I'm moving away from home. I don't know anybody, all these things. And I definitely think that there's just more ups and downs that you go through in college that, like, you can't necessarily anticipate. Of course. And I think you're not going to be friends with everybody. That was a huge thing for me freshman year. I was like, okay, you're thrown into this group of, like, 200 girls. There's going to be people you don't necessarily click with. There's going to be people that you really click with. And I think it takes time to find your people. And I think that was, like, the biggest thing for me freshman year of, like, expecting to immediately be in this group of people people. And, like, everybody loves each other, and that's just. It's unrealistic anywhere. So I think definitely, like, the time took me to find my people.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
I totally agree with that because I think this story that, oh, you get into a sorority and they're your best friends for life, instantly. I mean, you have to find your people regardless. Even if the sorority feels like, okay, these are the people that I am gravitating most towards. It still takes time and it still takes work to find the people that you really are going to connect with. But leaving sorority life, you know, did. Do you now have the people that are lifelong friends? Like, were you able to find them?
Brooke (Sorority Member from UCLA)
100%. I am so grateful because I knew, like, going into college, especially being on the dance scene, that I was going to leave with, like, lifelong friends. And I was already like, okay.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
I feel like that really creates a bond as well, though.
Brooke (Sorority Member from UCLA)
Oh, 100. Even if it's just like a trauma bond from, like, practices and, like, going through all this stuff.
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
Everything. Yeah.
Brooke (Sorority Member from UCLA)
But I also was really, like, I guess pleasantly surprised after four years of, like, how many people that I would consider, like, lifelong friends. Like, it's so cheesy when people say bridesmaids, but it's so true of, like, girls that I met through rush, like, through Greek life, like, all of that. I definitely met my lifelong best friends and I'm very grateful that I participated. Participated in it.
Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
That is so amazing. Well, I'm so glad that you had such a good experience and thank you so much for coming on, Brooke. It was amazing talking to you. We appreciate it.

Tell me if I'm alone here, Dirty Rush listeners, but shopping used to feel more fun before all the algorithm fed blah and the endless sea of dupes. But I have a confession. I found that fun feeling again on ebay. Because ebay, it's not just shopping, it's a full on fashion pursuit. And when you find the thing that adrenaline hit is real. Like when you score that rare Adidas collab that's lived on your mood board, that Dior saddlebag you ripped out of a magazine in 2007 and never got over. Or something like The Cecilia Bonson XGT21 60s that sold out in five seconds. Yeah, those. It's all about the thrill of finding pieces that feel like me.

Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
Hey, Tanisha.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
Hi.
Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
Are you in your dorm right now?
Tanisha (Freshman at University of Alabama)
I'm in my dorm right now.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
Oh, amazing. Are you a freshman?
Tanisha (Freshman at University of Alabama)
I am.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
Oh, my God. How are you liking it?
Tanisha (Freshman at University of Alabama)
No, no, no comment.
Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
Oh.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
Oh, I thought you didn't hear me. I was like, oh, no, you're okay.
Tanisha (Freshman at University of Alabama)
You're okay. You know, honestly, I don't think it's really, really bad. You know, it definitely could be way worse, but I miss my bed at home. It's way more comfy.
Xolair Advertisement / Amanda Knox / Nancy Glass
Yeah.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
So are you. Are you a little homesick?
Tanisha (Freshman at University of Alabama)
I just came back from break, so that's probably what it is. But I miss. It's so weird because when I'm home, I miss my college friends, but whenever I'm here at college, I miss my hometown friends.
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
Yeah.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
So, yeah, it's that weird adjustment. I mean, it's your freshman year.
Tanisha (Freshman at University of Alabama)
Yeah.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
My sister is in her sophomore year now, but. And my other sister's in her junior year, but my one sister came home constantly, and it was. She just wanted home and her bed and our dog, and it's just. It's that sense of feeling like you have something with you. So, like, bring, like, a blankie or bring something with you to college to make you feel like you're more at home.
Tanisha (Freshman at University of Alabama)
Yeah. For me, it's such a big adjustment because I'm from a rural community, so literally it's just farms from, you know, where I live.
Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
So.
Tanisha (Freshman at University of Alabama)
Moving to Tuscaloosa, people say it's a small town, but I'm like, guys, no, the y' all have not been.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
I visited Bama before. I felt like there was nothing around besides the University of Alabama and, like, a sex shop. I'm not even kidding.
Xolair Advertisement / Amanda Knox / Nancy Glass
Yeah.
Tanisha (Freshman at University of Alabama)
There's literally, like, nothing in my hometown, so at least we have an Ulta here. I have to drive an hour to go to Ulta back in Kentucky, so.
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
Wow.
Xolair Advertisement / Amanda Knox / Nancy Glass
Yeah.
Brooke (Sorority Member from UCLA)
Okay.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
So that's a step up. I mean, I think they definitely, like, built Tuscaloosa, like, around the University of Alabama. So when you are there, there is, you know, there's food, places. There's not Just. But when I did visit my friend at Bama, she took me to, like, the legendary, like, sex shop, and I was like, oh, my God, is this what you guys do here?
Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
Did you always want to go to Alabama?
Tanisha (Freshman at University of Alabama)
Like, not really my whole life. There's a college around where I live, Morehead State University, and that's the one everybody goes to. So I was convinced that I was gonna go there for quite a while until I got into maybe my sophomore, junior year of high school. I compete with Miss America. So with that, a lot of girls get a scholarship to the University of Alabama, so I thought maybe I should look into that. And I. I found my calling of wanting to be an addiction counselor, and I seen that they had a great addiction and recovery program, so here I am.
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
Wow.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
That's amazing.
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
I love that.
Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
Then did you start making, like, tick tocks and videos when you were at college, or did you start doing it before?
Tanisha (Freshman at University of Alabama)
Before I started making TikToks, like, my senior year of high school, I kind of wanted to document, you know, those final moments. I definitely miss a lot of my friends from high school and a lot of the clubs I was a part of. I was president of a couple clubs. So I wanted to document those last moments and also wanted to document, you know, me going to college. And I figured since I was going to Alabama, it'd be a good way to, you know, keep my friends back home all on the same page and in touch and see what all I'm up to.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
Oh, that's amazing. So you kind of. Were you more vlog style?
Tanisha (Freshman at University of Alabama)
Yeah, I'm. I'm more vlog style now that I'm in college. But my content, like, my senior year of high school was mostly just, like, get ready with me. Like, I just do my makeup.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
And that's how you started. Okay, so now that you're at the University of Alabama, take us through your rush process. Oh, I heard it's intense.
Tanisha (Freshman at University of Alabama)
I mean, very intense.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
I was just at the. I just went on the recently the TAR cosmetics brand trip, and I was with Kylan Darnell, and she. She's amazing. She is the sweetest girl ever. But, I mean, you know, and her sister Izzy didn't, you know, didn't do Alabama rush, so I'm. Well, she did, but then ended up not picking up a sorority and ended up dropping out of rush. But how was your experience? Because I know it could definitely be super intense.
Tanisha (Freshman at University of Alabama)
Yeah. I have to say, it was crazy, especially for me. I knew absolutely nothing about Greek life. I felt like it Took a lot of convincing to even let you know. My parents say, okay, yeah, you can go do this thing. Because there was such a stigma around sorority life and, you know, all of that, and they just didn't want me to get into something that was bad for me. And I was like, no, guys, look. They have a philanthropy and sisterhood events. I was like, guys, please. So they said, okay. Once they did their own research, they're like, this is kind of cool.
Jill Winterstein (Spirit Daughter Podcast Host)
Yeah.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
I mean, also, rushing at Bama, when you're seeing it from the outside and just looking at the houses and how just elevated it is compared to other schools.
Xolair Advertisement / Amanda Knox / Nancy Glass
Yeah.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
It really is something that you look at and you're like, wow, I really wish I could be a part of that one day. Did you look at Kylan or, like, Izzy's Tick Tocks and kind of, like, do a little research for yourself? Before rushing at the University of Alabama,
Tanisha (Freshman at University of Alabama)
my research really consisted of going on the UA Panalytic website, and they had a little page for each one of the sororities. So I got on there, kind of looked, see, Oh, I really like this philanthropy or things like that.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
Wait, you're like, the cutest and purest person in the world. I'm like, I'm figuring because you, you know, you did Tick Tock. You were starting on Tick Tock that that would be on your algorithm, going to Bama, and you're like, no, I actually looked on the U of A research.
Tanisha (Freshman at University of Alabama)
Well, I mean, obviously I had seen Kylan's videos, and I knew a little bit of them, but I wasn't set on necessarily, like, copying or any of that. Like, I wanted to make my own kind of brand and do my own OOTDs and stuff, and I definitely needed help trying to figure out what to wear. So I did look at Inspo. I found out, like, the crazier the skirts, the better. And I went dress shopping in Tuscaloosa. And then I thought, well, maybe I shouldn't go dress shopping in Tuscaloosa, because then everybody's going to get their stuff from Tuscaloosa. So it was. It was a big thing. And then Ava Presley reached out to me when to send me dresses for Rush, and I was like, okay. Didn't know it was that big of a deal. It's a dress company. And I was like, okay, yeah, girl, go right ahead.
Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
Do a lot of your friends at school. Do a lot of them, like, TikTok and stuff, too.
Tanisha (Freshman at University of Alabama)
Not really. A lot of the girls here at Alabama, they do, you know, Tick tocks and stuff. It's kind of normal. Whenever I first came here, I was so nervous about filming in public and stuff because I was like, oh my gosh, people are gonna think I'm crazy. But you, you usually will see someone casually vlogging and it's like, okay, maybe
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
I feel like it's so normalized now. Yeah, but it was weird. Even when I was in school, it wasn't that big yet. It really started after Covid, but now you guys are in a time where everyone's recording and really, I would say, like, everyone is trying to become a part of this industry because it really is so amazing and you get so many opportunities gifted, so many things. Like, it really is a life changing job to have. And I just think that so many of this, so many people in your generation want to just give it a shot, as everyone should, and that's why it's so normalized. But it's so funny because, like, when I was in school, no one was making tick tocks. Like, well, you know, like, it was until after Covid. But I love that. Did you have like a rush coach or anything, like, going into sorority?
Tanisha (Freshman at University of Alabama)
I did not. I. I went in completely blind. And honestly, I think that's part of the best piece of advice I could give someone because, yeah, I did kind of hear some things like, oh, this is top. House is bought. Whatever, whatever. I was like, okay, I can't even, like, I don't even know what words are coming out of your mouth, because I did not. I was not like Delta Gamma, you know, like Zeta. Like, I didn't know what any of that was really. I knew that was the names of houses, but I didn't like, like, put them together or anything. So I just kind of blocked that out. And something for me was in the comments of all my videos, people were like, oh, I bet she's gonna go this. Yeah, I bet she's gonna do this. And I was like, y', all. Some of the things that they were calling. I was like, I hadn't even stepped into that house. And it was just so funny to sit back and watch and be like, I know what I'm doing and you guys are guessing. And it was. It was really funny to be like, oh, yeah, totally.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
So where did you end up?
Tanisha (Freshman at University of Alabama)
I'm a Delta Gamma now, so I was really happy. I mean, I'm very happy with Delta Gamma. And I always kind of knew whenever I was going through the process, it kind of. I felt noticed there. And a lot of times the Houses will talk to you about things on your resume and that's really it. But Delta Gamma, whenever I was going through the process, they were asking about like, me as a person, what do I like to do with my friends, and not just the things that looked good on paper. And that's what made them stand out to me.
Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
That's awesome. So just like clicked with them.
Jill Winterstein (Spirit Daughter Podcast Host)
Yes.
Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
And are you excited for the next four years? Do you think you'll stay in your sorority?
Tanisha (Freshman at University of Alabama)
I definitely think I will. I absolutely love my big Gracie. She has just been such a good mentor to me and has taken me under her wing and I've made so many good friends through Delta Gamma. And just being a part of something that's kind of bigger than yourself is so, it's so impactful and it gives me a sense of home. Like the DG house is home to me. And I'm, I'm really happy to say that I.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
That's amazing. Well, I'm so happy you found your home at dg and even though I know you get a little homesick, it's so normal. You're. You're in your freshman year, but really just take this experience. I'm so happy you because now you're in your second semester in dg, I'm sure you know you would have realized by now if maybe this wasn't the place for you. So I'm so happy you made the right decision and that you're living out your college experience.

Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
Tell me if I'm alone here, Dirty Rush listeners, but shopping used to feel more fun before all the algorithm fed blah and the endless sea of dupes. But I have a confession. I found that fun feeling again on ebay. Because ebay, it's not just shopping, it's a full on fashion pursuit. And when you find the thing that adrenaline hit is real. Like when you score that rare Adidas collab that's lived on your mood board, that Dior saddlebag you ripped out of a magazine in 2007 and never got over. Or something like The Cecily Bonsen XGT 2160s that sold out in five seconds. Yeah, those. It's all about the thrill of finding pieces that feel like me. And I want you to find pieces that feel like you. There's always more to discover. Ebay has millions of pre loved fines from hundreds of brands backed by ebay. Authenticity guarantee eBay things people love

do you do when the headlines don't explain what's happening inside of you? I'm Ben Higgins and if you can hear me is where culture meets the soul. A place for real conversation. Each episode I sit down with people from all walks of life. Celebrities, thinkers and everyday folks. And we go deeper than the polished story. We talk about what drives us, what shapes us and what gives us hope. We get honest about the big stuff. Identity when you don't recognize yourself anymore. Loss that changes you purpose when success isn't enough. Peace when your mind won't slow down. Faith when it's complicated. Some guests have answers. Most are still figuring it out. If you've ever felt like there has to be more to the story, this show is for you. Listen to if you can hear me on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey, Sadie.
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
Hi.
Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
Where do you go to school?
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
I. So I went to school. I went to Northwestern. I graduated in 2022. And, yeah, I was in a sorority. I. I was in a sorority from my freshman to junior year, and then mid junior years and covet hit. And so then I took a year off and then went back to school. And at that point, I had dropped the sorority, but was in it for a good chunk of time.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
Yeah, you were in it.
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
You're fine.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
Yeah, everyone drops it by their junior year anyway. Some people drop even their sophomore year, so there's only. Yeah, you dropped. Or Daisy.
Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
Yeah, I dropped because I went abroad, and they were trying to make me, like, I got a girl to fill my room in the house, and they were still trying to make me to pay for the room in the house because they didn't have enough girls to fill it, because it was, like, right when Covid was happening and stuff. I was like, I got someone to fill my room, and then they were, like, threatening me with, like, a lawyer and stuff.
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
Okay, I'm out. Like, wait a second. No, I mean, that was the thing. There were some points where, like, I love the girls in my sorority, but being in a sorority, I was like. I quickly realized. I was like, I don't think I'm cut out for this. I. I think it's more so a me problem. I was like, I couldn't abide by any rules, which was definitely something I needed to take a long, hard looking the mirror at. But it is. There's, like, a lot of. A lot of politics and logistics to it, for sure.
Brooke (Sorority Member from UCLA)
That's hilarious.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
So then where did you end up? Like, how was your rush process Take us through all of that, your freshman year?
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
Oh, my God. I mean, this is, like, such a crazy time. No, I. It was good because Northwestern, I feel like Greek life was. It was a thing there, but it's not from the magnitude I've heard at other schools. It was really nothing in comparison, which I think had I gone to, you know, one of those, like, southern schools or just a big ten, like, other. Another big ten school, I think it would have been too overwhelming for me. But rush was. It was it was like, the winner of my freshman year. I remember being, like, so nervous, and I would. Yeah. I was, like, on the phone with my parents, and I'm just like. I don't even know, like, what's happening. And I just. Like, you just start crying randomly, and I was like, why? Like, like, what's happening? But it ended up being a good process. And my best friend, who was also my roommate, we kind of rushed and were wanting to be in the same sorority, and we ended up in the same one, and we were in Kappa Kappa Gamma. I say Kappa, and then I'm like, I know there's other, but. Yeah, Kappa Kappa Gamma. God, I haven't said that in so long. And. Yeah, but the rush process itself was good. But I remember, like, people were saying, like, initiation was kind of the big thing, and people had, like. Like, spread these rumors that they make you go into. I don't know what I can say on here, but you can. You may. They make you.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
You could say anything you want.
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
Okay. Yeah, just filter me at any point. But that initiation was, like. They brought you into the basement and, like, made you do drugs. And I was, like, freaking out. I was like, oh, my God. Like, I'm gonna. Like, I have to quit. Like, this is not gonna work. And then, like, the night before, like, they were like, okay, girls, we have a surprise in the basement. And I was like, literally, to my friend, I was like, I gotta call my mom. I gotta get out of here. I. I was, like, freaking out. I was like. I was like, you guys, I have a deviated septum. If it's drugs, I can't do it. Like, please, I'm so scared. And then we go downstairs, and they just had a feast of food for us. Like, it was like, McDonald's ice cream. And I was like, oh, my God, this is the best day of my life. And so then I just. Like. I don't know if it was the stress or what, but I ate so much, I ended up, like, throwing up the morning of initiation. So it ended up being completely fine. I just. Yeah, but this is so funny.
Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
Did you meet a lot of friends in your sorority?
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
Yeah. Yeah, my sorority. Yeah. There were a lot of, like, great girls that I met. And as I said, like, my roommate and best friend, we kind of. We went into it together, and we roomed in the house together. We got in trouble a lot together, and. But, yeah, I love the girls in the class and the girls above us, too. I was really close to. And, like, overall, that was the thing I think had I not liked the girls so much, I probably would have dropped it sooner, just because I don't think I like being in a sorority that much. But I did really like the people in it.
Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
That's awesome.
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
That's great.
Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
Did a lot of them end up dropping, too?
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
Yeah, my roommate did. One of my other. One of my other best friends who was in it. She also did. And I think most. I think most girls in my class did because of COVID After. Like, even people that I wasn't. I think that just kind of disrupted a lot of it. But. But, yeah, I mean, it was. It was a time my. Ran big, was the president my. The year that I lived in the house. And, like, it was just always funny because I was, like, the trouble child, and I wouldn't even do anything that bad. It was just. I don't know. I think I didn't know the rules and.
Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
Yeah, you were just living your college life.
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
Yeah, that was the thing.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
I, like, need to hear this story, though. Can you please give us the story of when you gave a tour to your national representative? Representative?
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
So that story. So the story I posted online is kind of a mixture of two stories, because I didn't know what I could say that would get flagged, but the Nationals person that I gave a tour to actually accused me of being high. And I don't smoke weed. Not. I think I'd actually love it, but every time I've tried to, my face swells up, so I have, like, a lot of allergies, so I feel like that it's okay.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
Whenever I smoke weed, I have a panic attack and think I need to get hospitalized. So that's why I don't smoke weed.
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
No, I mean, literally, I. Honestly, I. I thought that would be my reaction, because I'm the most anxious human being ever. So I feel that 100%. I. But, yeah, there's something about it. I'm like, I want to be jail. But every time I do it, I. It, like, is. So there was one time the guy I was, like, hooking up with, he slept over at my sorority house, and I had taken an edible the night before, and I woke up, and, like, you know when you feel your face, like, being, like, swollen? And I was like. And he was, like, trying to say goodbye to me. I just had my head facing the pillow. I was like, yeah, you got it.
Xolair Advertisement / Amanda Knox / Nancy Glass
I'm good.
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
I'm sleeping, so thank you, please. But, yeah, so I had given her a tour, and I don't know what it. I Have no idea why she had thought this. And I'll tell you the other story of getting inebriated in that whole situation, because that was separate. But so after I gave her a tour, I was like, okay. I think that went really well. I was in charge of giving her a tour because I got in trouble with standards for. Honestly, there were a few. I can't remember, but I was like, I think I made a good impression. Like, that was good. And then I got an email from our chapter standards and I was like, what the hell did I do? Like, what? And I went in there and they were like, hey, so like the Nationals, like, rep that was here, she like mentioned that the girl that gave her a tour was high. And I was like, like, me? Oh, me? No, I was like, no, I wasn't. I was like, you guys, I don't smoke weed like that. And they were like, okay. And then she had also, like, said something else of why I think she had thought that. And I. It was a whole thing. But it was right. Right after that, I got in trouble for post meeting alcohol to our house. And our house. Mom caught it. Yeah. And I. It got. Yeah, it was. So those two things happened together. But that was what happened. I gave this like the nationals a tour and I thought it went. I like took a picture of her and the arch is like this thing known at Northwestern. I was like, oh, my God, girl. Like, smile. But yeah, then she just clearly was not pleased with me. I don't know what I was like. I feel like this may be a personality flaw then that she saw in me and is complaining about. But. But yeah. And then like a couple weeks later, I had postmated alcohol to our house and obviously alcohol was not allowed. I was underage at the time. The. The guy, the Gopuff guy actually rejected my ID.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
Not the GoPuff guy. I feel like they barely even check.
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
I was like, wait, what? I know. He, like, pulled up. I was like, oh, whoa, whoa. Not my Delaware. Hold on. I don't think. Let me just wipe it off on my pants. It might be a little blurry. I don't know what's happening.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
Don't they just have to scan it?
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
Yeah, well, that was.
Xolair Advertisement / Amanda Knox / Nancy Glass
That was the thing.
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
I was like, I thought. I thought I just had to do like a signature or something. But he pulled out some sort of like. He pulled out some. It felt like an airport. Like, I was like, oh. Like, this is not going to go well for me. And then he just like, he was like, I'm Sorry, this doesn't work. And then I walked back into the house, and my house mom, I guess, had met him. Like, he had knocked on the front door, and she had answered it, and I didn't know because I had walked around the back of the entrance of the house to meet him, because I thought he was outside. So then I walked back in, and she was standing there, and she's like, are you kidding me, Sadie? Like, are you kidding me right in front of my face? You're gonna get alcohol to this house? And since it got rejected, I was like. I was like, see? I was like, I'm not drinking. Look, there's no alcohol in my hand. I was like. I was. I think the wrong address. He made a mistake. She was like, I watched you scam your ID and get it rejected. And I'm, okay, well, so. Yeah. And then I got called in for that as well, and they were like, you were. And me read it? Yeah. It was just. There was a lot of. In hindsight, it's probably all character flaws on myself, but I love it.
Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
You were just living your life as
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
you should, but you weren't even drunk. So then did you explain that to them and then did they understand it?
Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
Yeah.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
I mean, didn't they blame it on the platform? Uggs.
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
Well, I mean, that was the thing. Well, okay, so that was the other one, too. Is So I. That. That also, like, I. I just, like, I don't know if it was. I think. Yeah, I honestly have no idea what it was. They were like, you know, she said that. I also. When I was giving her the tour, we were walking for part of it, but then also, I used a golf cart for part of it, and I'm not the best driver. So I think this is. This is honestly therapy, you guys, because now I'm looking back on this, I'm like, I have a lot to work through, I think, as a human. I. Yeah, I mean, she. This is like. She could have complained, being like, I don't think this girl should be driving a golf cart. I think she's. This girl's a little bit too, like, crazy. Probably wouldn't have let her into the chapter in hindsight, but I was like. To say that I'm high and, you know, under the influence of anything is. I was like, that's not. Not technically true right now, but yeah. And I was like, see, I don't even know. Alcohol in my room. It got rejected by Gopuff, so.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
So did. Did everything end up working out, though, when you went to Standards, like, did they end up, like, understanding where you were coming from? Did they believe you?
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
Yeah, they. They thought it was, like, funny. They were like, this is. This feels very fitting for the. The type of member of this chapter you've been. So they. And it was funny because we used to do in like chapter meetings every Sunday, Kappa kisses and disses. And my, like, grand big as I, like, she had done like, she was like, Kappa kiss to my grandbaby for like, post meeting alcohol to the house and being. And I don't know. I think I'm just an idiot. I didn't piece it together. And I looked at my friend, I was like, oh, my God. I was like, sorry. Like, I don't know. Sorry.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
So funny. But overall, do you feel like you had a good experience with sorority life?
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
Yeah. Yeah, I think it was like, it was an experience. So I always say, like, I love just getting experiences because I feel like it. Especially doing comedy, it's helpful. And, you know, I. I met a lot of great people through it, so. And it. Yeah, it added something, but. And you also learn what you don't like. I was like, yeah, I don't think this was probably, you know, I don't think I was cut out for it for sure.
Daisy Kent (Co-host of Dirty Rush)
And do great stories. That's the thing.
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
There's so many fun. Like, I mean, yeah, the stories were crazy. I remember, like, the rush process too. Like, when you are rushing girls, that was also, like, I just would feel, you know, you.
Xolair Advertisement / Amanda Knox / Nancy Glass
Then you.
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
Then you watch them, you feel bad. You're like, don't worry. Like, it's okay. I'm like, I. Like, I had to give a speech. My friend and I, we did a sisterhood speech for one of the rounds. And at the time, I didn't know that I was celiac, so. Which allergies. And I had been like, eating Rice Krispie treats, by the way, not gluten free. All like, just the whole. Because there's just sugar. Everyone's like, eating them because you're staying up and you're like, you know, doing the whole process. And so I'm literally like giving this speech with my pants unbuttoned. And you just see girls all worried. And I'm like, guys, like, don't worry. Like, my pants are on. Like, I am so bloated. I don't know what's wrong with me. Like, I actually might. My pants, like, don't worry. Like, this isn't that serious. Like, it's gonna be okay. Which I thought was the best representation But I feel like that's the thing is I was just like, you want to then tell people, like don't. Like don't take it too seriously and only do it if it's going to add something to, to your life. I feel like, you know, oh, I will.
Xolair Advertisement / Amanda Knox / Nancy Glass
I.
Gia (Host of Dirty Rush)
We can literally talk to you all day, but unfortunately we have to wrap up the call. But this was hilarious and you are hilarious. So just keep going. And I hope after this zoom call you are now on my for you page because I was peeing my pants this entire time.
Sadie (Sorority Member) / Podcast Narrators / Special Agent Riegel
Sorry. Oh my God. No, I feel like I literally just. I needed a muzzle. But I think you guys are.
