Sorority Bid Day | Pi Beta Phi | The University of Alabama

[@woahxitsamanda]

me, an art school student, being genuinely invested in the rush week activities of pi phi Alabama: 👁 👄👁

[@Fatima_1446]

Lol same. I’m lowkey living vicariously through these videos

[@Fatima_1446]

ava vlogz no 😂 but I’m a freshman this year and basically am doing everything online

[@jl6930]

i'm a biochem major at a historically women's liberal arts college in the east coast--with no sororities hehe. Lauren's videos are so refreshing!

[@kevinpark55]

@@jl6930 Oh are you are Mount Holyoke College? My mom graduated there. Or are you from Smith or Vassar? I know all about the 7 sisters schools.

[@jl6930]

@@kevinpark55 Bryn Mawr! I love it there, but it’s a very quiet place at times hehe 😊 I’ve always wanted to visit Mt Holyoke though, and the campus is so pretty!

[@kirstylouise96]

Wow this is mad! So organised. In the UK we basically all just rock up and get drunk for 2 weeks straight 👍🏼

[@hannahc2836]

Pretty much, yeah 😂 but then we can drink at age 18.

[@kirstylouise96]

Hannah C oh yeah forgot about that! Lucky us 😂

[@jessicaschoephorster1804]

I'm sure they do to after the cuties party stuff is done. The sororities/Frats in America have some pretty strict social media policies when it come to showing alcohol. If you are under age, they know you do it, but you better not show it.

[@relentero8547]

That’s every weekend after bid week 😂

[@gmchelle95]

Ok, but who else LOVES her room💕💕

[@annaleecefieldsss]

Her room is so cute!

[@lisashneider549]

It’s a sorority house :)

[@briellablair4343]

ikr. she has my DREAM sorority room!!

[@annaleecefieldsss]

@@lisashneider549 well, dorm, room, its a dorm in a sorority house

[@annaleecefieldsss]

@@briellablair4343 Yeah, same! 😊

[@AyaAmena]

This looks like a blast! I'm so surprised at how many people are actually allowed to show up to these things. On my campus literally EVERYTHING is under strict control and you're not even allowed over there unless you have a good reason/work/class/etc., and have taken a COVID quiz before coming to campus. Please stay safe!!💕

[@westonding8953]

My Grad School campus effectively says, "Don't come!" (Probably only a few faculty members are allowed to come.)

[@katfish423]

Here in NC the sorority houses are already having outbreaks of covid. Sure hope you guys don't have the same thing happen!

[@ALIKEKENANA]

Yeah I was also surprised and a little concerned about all the people and the hugging. Hope you all stay safe and healthy!

[@emmamanzer1076]

they had to take a course at bama too. and they had significantly smaller amount of girls at one time. everything was in shifts ;)

[@madison3796]

All students had to be tested for covid before coming to campus. The university has strict precautions!

[@karlamunozalvarez9029]

Fact: Literally always waiting for her to upload, even after she just uploaded 😂😭❤

[@paigegallasso81]

The house lowkey reminds me of the Scream Queens sorority house

[@theyscreammadina]

Just a friendly reminder to anyone reading, stay safe, keep being you, never give up and I pray all your dreams come true, as much as I pray my youtube dream comes true🙏🏽🧡

[@LannahTeague]

I JUST GOT ACCEPTED TO BAMA & YOURE MAKING ME SOO EXCITED

[@taylor_almond4274]

YAYYYYYYY😎

[@Erynbop]

Wow you are gaining subscribers faster. Road to 60k !!! I absolutely love your videos because the way you talk is not annoying like other KZbinr that I've seen. Keep up the good work my angel!!

[@HeyyyBayy]

You are so gorgeous Lauren!! Totally reliving my sorority memories vicariously through you 💗

[@SarahLouisePickett]

Her growth though! Omg! Congratulations, Lauren!

[@allison5607]

I totally hijacked my child’s you tube account to get my daughter ready for rush, so I probably started watching your videos in February. Love them. She just went Pi Phi!!

[@nicolejoy8140]

I’m much too introverted for this 😂🤦🏽‍♀️

[@sandraperez2238]

I love this girl’s energy. She seems so kind and genuine. Just subscribed. Cute everything!

[@maddycameron6091]

I’m a senior in hs and your channel literally made me wanna join a sorority al over again. I lost interest in it months ago. But now I wanna do it again. THANK YOU

[@Stazib98]

I wish when I rushed that I would’ve been wanted somewhere. It looks so fun and you all do seem like a family and that is adorable.

[@ameliasandoval8663]

😢 girl same, the sorority I ended up bidding was NOT it for me long term

[@csalebra]

@@ameliasandoval8663 I dropped three weeks into pledging because the sorority was night and day from rush week, the girls ended up all being so mean. Super disappointing, but greek life in the North East is notoriously bad and known for their intense hazing, I should have known. I have good friends who had amazing experiences, but they were all in the south.

[@sparklebaby878]

I totally understand how watching videos like this can make it seem like sorority life is perfect and everyone is friends but that’s not entirely true. Of course some sororities love each other like family, but that doesn’t mean you need to be apart of a sorority to feel that love. I’m sorry your recruitment experience left you feeling like you are missing out, but I promise finding an amazing group of friends through clubs or sports can make you feel the same way the girls in this video feel. You are not worth any less just because you didn’t get a bid to a house! Sending love!!

[@Stazib98]

Still it would’ve been nice for someone to have wanted to be my friend my first week of college and not just be sitting alone all the time. Also I’m overweight and none of the girls I saw when going to the houses were over a size 8 so I can’t help but think that was part of it. Not that I think people would consciously have that be part of their decision but still I can’t help but wonder.

[@FarahNuit]

@@Stazib98 Oh girl, this is not you I promess! What I see is a bunch of girls having fun. But what I ALSO see is a bunch of skinny white blonde girls who spent a lot of money to be together. Don't try to fit into stereotypes. Be you, unapologetically you. And find a band where there is all types of people. :) And for the part about being sit alone all the time, be brave and if you spot people who look super cool, take a deep breath and give yourself 20 seconds to reach them. That's literally what I did my first year of university - and I'm very shy - and that's how I met some of my best friends. Good luck, you can do it, give yourself that right.

[@swanlaked]

okay off topic, but you’re literally so beautiful🥺

[@aimeemargaux9748]

congrats on 50k Lauren!! you’re growing so fast, so proud of you! 💕

[@maddieoswald662]

So excited to see your subscriber count going up, up, and up!! Loving the new and variety of content

[@ashlie8238]

Honestly when all those girl started running I was walking to my car and I genuinely got scared and started looking around to see if I needed to run too 😅😂 being a freshman at bama is confusing

[@BreezyRenee333]

This would be me 😂😂😂

[@ellakatefirth5478]

i really want to go to bama

[@katsmit8302]

I LOVE watching your videos, and then Gracies video straight after!! It’s so cool to see the 2 perspectives!! ❤️

Ahahaha agreed I’m from England and watching this is just so bizarre

[@shan6553]

aleena sarfraz we have sororities in canada. There’s 3 Pi Phi chapters in Ontario. University of British Columbia has a greek life village for housing and University of Toronto has million dollar sorority houses.

[@erj3008]

Bruh I live in Pennsylvania and this seems whack. Sorority life in the south is something different.

I live in Ireland too and I had to look up what rush week and all was lmao

[@kerstinm.9902]

I'm sure they've all blackened their Insta feeds back in the day tho... That's probably all you can ask for with this lot.

[@courtney9107]

Black women who show an interest in Greek life generally are interested in NPHC sororities. Sororities that are historically black and we’re founded because we were barred from membership from white sororities. Some of us may join NPC sororities like Pi Phi but not many hence why you don’t see a lot.

[@Hi-lj5fn]

Oh and btw when u said u looked weird..... Ahem! GIRL U ARE FABULOUS SOME TIMES I EVEN DREAMT I HAD UR SENSE OF STYLE :0

I live in the Netherlands and the student life is way different than in the US we have houses where students can rent a room and that’s in the city near the school. Also you don’t share your room with roommates. I wish I lived in the US to have that ultimate student life experience because it looks so cool 😍 with dorm rooms and stuff

Hi Lauren, I love your vids! I just wanted to say to stay away from purchasing from shein/amazon in the future, they’re not sustainable companies and don’t treat their workers fairly sadly :( I just learned that this summer and have been trying to buy more sustainably, would love to see the same from you! ✨
