Aww hearing you say "I'm a senior" instead of "I'm a junior" Makes me SOO happy for you and also I remember starting to watch your vids when you were in between your freshman & sophomore year
I totally relate...I'm a 37 year old local government worker in London and I'm obsessed with US Greek Life. Its like all those teen movies from the 90s in real life
Im at 55 y.o (😱) Aussie Reg Nurse wishing I was a 20y.o Pi Phi gal at Bama! More fun facts: - Grandmother of 3 who watches the gorgeous, sparkling Lauren at night tucked up in bed - loves pink as much as Lauren -totally takes on board Lauren's happy, joyful nature and strives to make it my mantra -secretly wishes I went to school in USA
41 year old Digital Marketing Executive in the UK here. I’m so invested in sorority rush every year 😂😂😂 I think it’s because it’s so removed from my life and I’m fascinated!
Omg when you said “I am a senior at the university of alabama” it made me so happy for you because I have been watching your channel since your first video! I can’t believe you are a senior now!! i love how much your channel has grown, love all of your videos, keep up the amazing work and have an amazing senior year!!💕
i rushed into a fraternity and 100% echo the point that you can stop participating in greek life whenever you want. i was part of a founding class and felt the pressure to continue all 3 years but i wish someone told me this when i was still in! thanks lauren 🙏🙏
Don’t let the cost deter you, especially at small, non-southern schools. FYI - I’m at a medium-big Northern public univ w around 10 chapters and ours are around $300-650 a semester. Mine personally is only around $350, and it can be less if you are a senior or work an internship.
Lauren your new hair looks so good please keep this new honey shade omg!!! These are all such good tips for girls rushing and yes you are exactly what you put in. I wish I did more research on philanthropy
Loved this video. Very good information. I am a Mom from NJ who has a daughter looking at Southern schools. She may or may not Rush. It will be her decision, but I was curious to learn about sorority life and through googling found your You Tube Channel. I am sick of the news and now opt to see what Lauren is up to. I learned a lot from watching your videos. School ends mid June in NJ and to start school first week of August is tough. I was happy to hear the Southern schools also have Spring rush. All your points and the comments other girls posted were wonderful and honestly true. Girls need to listen to their inner voices and stay true to themselves. I hope a lot of young girls watch this video. Way back when, I was a junior who transferred from another college into a NY state school and rushed/joined a sorority. The pledging process was time consuming and I made a 2.0 at the skin of my teeth so I am glad I joined as a junior. I probably could not have handled it as a freshman. Off topic, I like the “snap, snap to you” phrase. Thank you Lauren.
My college days are long over but I like watching this. I did not do Greek life in college but this is all very useful for more than just Greek life. I will admit, I got lost after college so make sure you are prepping yourself before you graduate.
I graduated last year and senior year flies by! I’m a pi phi from Nevada and I absolutely love your videos! You are so sweet and kind and I totally agree with this video! You’re doing great keep it going 🤩🤩
If you’re planning to be active as an alumna, you will want to look at where and how many alumnae chapters there are, what options are available - but that shouldn’t be the end all. I chose the smaller (nationally) sorority at my school instead of one of the biggest nationally. It has made a difference in my alumnae experience (I’ve moved to places where there aren’t any chapters) BUT I wouldn’t change my college years for anything!
now that you have the apartment please oh please do fall decorate with me or fall mornings or fall vlogs and Christmas/ winter 🥰💗ps tj maxx and home goods have the cutest fall stuff
Also speaking of dues, I know some sororities/schools will have scholarships. I had a friend that applied for one through her sorority and they paid half her dues every year but she still had to keep a certain GPA and volunteer hours a semester for it
I loved my sisters but I definitely wish I knew before I rushed how much money it takes to be a part of a sorority, and also that there are sometimes scholarships available!
It's good you're helping other girls going through a similar process you have. I'm not but I decided to subscribe after watching Keegan Acton and after seeing your confidence. Confidence is something I'm working to build.
Oh Lauren. I loved this video but wish my university was the same as Alabama. Girls are dropped from houses at my university if they are too “fat”. It’s sad and it’s taken away the true meaning from Greek life.
Im a pi phi at a small school and our dues are only about 300$. It’s definitely different everywhere and we still have girls that don’t realize how much money it is even though we tell them during recruitment. I think it’s just an overall shock when you are in a fun environment with your sisters and then dues roll around and you’re life wait I have to pay for this??
Same! I was a Kappa Delta at a smaller school and it was about $400/semester. It was still hard for me to pay it but they offered a payment plan which really helped me!
The trend with NPC sororities is the legacy status has no “perks” anymore. Most are saying they don’t have to be invited back like they used to. They are on the same playing field as everyone else.
@@TheLaurenNorris Omg you responded! Thank you lauren so much, you have changed my life! The giveaway has motivated me to get better grades and try to be more active. I love how you want to help others! ❤️
Hey Lauren ily so much! Whenever you have a new video i go right to it!!!! I wanna be a youtube like you so if you could do a video about what do to be such a great youtuber that would be amazing!
@@evelynolson5731 they’re are top houses that’s a personal mindset she said to have every girl wants to be in one of the bigger houses with more sisters and better parties and those a a few “top” houses that came to mind but what I didn’t understand is why she was trying to make it seem like she’s not in a top house or “more popular” house if you will lol I’ve been watching Lauren for 4 years I love her so it was just question I had as a person who was curious because I have friends going into bama rush
Black Greeks are very than whites because…. We take tradition very seriously and sometimes our ancestors have problems joining Greek back in the 1900s What happened was I want to join a white sorority but I have I was like raise in Black Greeks so I have where’s my mom was like you’re gonna be like to only in black girl so I was like OK, I heard a lots of horror stories about racism during White Greeks
You’re so gorgeous and I love that you are honest about sorority because i’ve been thinking for whenever I go into college if I want to be in a sorority and you helped me out a lot ! 🫶🏻💕🥰🤟🏼
"Don't compare yourself to others. It's a good thing to offer something new" is such good life advice, honestly.
Thank you 🥹🥹

Is it just me or is Lauren absolutely glowing in this video? Idk what you’re doing but girl it’s working!! 💗
I would say going into pageantry is doing her big favours in presenting herself. She's always stunning but agree the glow is so bright in this one!
Powerful positive energy in here and I LOVE it! So great, Lauren! Awesome energy here for everyone to hear 💓 BE YOU!
Lauren your new hair looks so good please keep this new honey shade omg!!! These are all such good tips for girls rushing and yes you are exactly what you put in. I wish I did more research on philanthropy
Thank you!! Yes I love this shade. I actually like it a tad bit darker than this!!
Im currently going through Rush now. Thank you for the help. You have always been transparent.

Yes absolutely!!!
This was such great positive encouraging advice💗my daughter is rushing in 3 weeks and I am going to share your video with her👏🏼Thank you!🥰
I think it’s fair to say that being able to present yourself nicely and professionally does matter. Which is not the same as your outfit.
Never clicked on this video so fast. This video helped me so much. I’m rushing at ASU this fall. Love you girl.💖
Ahh yay goodluck girlie!!!🐚💖🥥
I went to college as an older student. I wasn't part of Greek life. I still had fun in college
I graduated last year and senior year flies by! I’m a pi phi from Nevada and I absolutely love your videos! You are so sweet and kind and I totally agree with this video! You’re doing great keep it going 🤩🤩

I’m so glad you made this video! Even though I’m not in college it’s so informing on how college rush is! Love your videos and you! ❤️
I wasn't ever in a sorority since I went to a community college but I am fully invested in Bama rush right now!
now that you have the apartment please oh please do fall decorate with me or fall mornings or fall vlogs and Christmas/ winter 🥰💗ps tj maxx and home goods have the cutest fall stuff
Also speaking of dues, I know some sororities/schools will have scholarships. I had a friend that applied for one through her sorority and they paid half her dues every year but she still had to keep a certain GPA and volunteer hours a semester for it
This is such a great video, going to have my daughter watch before rush!
I loved my sisters but I definitely wish I knew before I rushed how much money it takes to be a part of a sorority, and also that there are sometimes scholarships available!
YES!! Scholarships for sororities do exist!! Thank you for bringing that up!!
Lauren your amazing your videos brighten up my day❤ your so pretty and you make me happy
Lauren I love you videos so much and can wait to see your videos from senior year!!

It differs for every sorority!

Isn’t pi phi a top house at bama ? Pi phi, zta, phi mu, alpha phi, delta zeta THATS what I was told by a friend who went through bama rush
@@evelynolson5731 they’re are top houses that’s a personal mindset she said to have every girl wants to be in one of the bigger houses with more sisters and better parties and those a a few “top” houses that came to mind but what I didn’t understand is why she was trying to make it seem like she’s not in a top house or “more popular” house if you will lol I’ve been watching Lauren for 4 years I love her so it was just question I had as a person who was curious because I have friends going into bama rush
Hi
Hi, Lauren I wanted to rush this fall but I am a sophomore. Could u still do it a year later after coming to college ?
Yes!
Hola from Madrid, Spain!!
Hola!!!🌴😊
You make me so happy😁
🥹🥹 you make me happy!!! Thank you for being here!!!
I’m Irish and we don’t have Sororities here, but I’m loving this video 🥰 So interesting to see how these things work!!
I'm confused but then again I live in a total different country
Your outfit needs to at least be appropriate so it is not a distraction to you! like if you have to constantly pull a skirt down it is too short
S*icide bidding is also called "intentional single preference"
What's rush
Process of trying to join a sorority. Lauren has loads of these type of videos on her channel

You’re so gorgeous and I love that you are honest about sorority because i’ve been thinking for whenever I go into college if I want to be in a sorority and you helped me out a lot ! 🫶🏻💕🥰🤟🏼
This makes my entire day!!! Glad I can help!!🥰☀️
