The High Stakes and Sinister World of Southern Sororities: A 'Bama Rush' Reminder.

College girls vying for entry into sororities often spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on their recruitment wardrobe, according to Lorie Stefanelli, a "sorority consultant" featured in HBO Max's "Bama Rush" documentary. Stefanelli advises women on their outfits, social media presence, and conversation skills to help them through the sorority recruitment process, which can cost up to $375 just to register. For girls with little financial resources, acquiring the outfits and other necessities means looking for "thrifty" alternatives. Stefanelli recommends that PNMs keep an open mind throughout the entire process and focus on making friends and being active on campus and in the community.
