Deeply entrenched racism is just one of many problems that continue to plague American Greek life

Photo: Gary Cosby Jr. via Imagn Content Services, LLC You’ve been watching it all week: real time TikToks from Bama Rush — America’s largest Greek life recruitment. The feed-dominating videos of sorority hopefuls at the University of Alabama are oddly mesmerizing to watch: Bubbly 18-year-old girls talk through their rush outfits, noting where they bought each item .

Following the article, the university’s president, Judy Bonner, posted a video acknowledging the racism entrenched in the school’s fraternities and sororities. “Our Greek system remains segregated and chapter members admit that during the recruitment process that ended a few weeks ago, decisions were made based on race,” she said.

Last year, as protests for racial justice garnered national attention, sororities across the country began to reckon with their participation in a system built on exclusion, elitism, and often, blatant racism. At the time, the Alabama Panhellenic Association put out a statement that the organization was “​resolved to hold one another accountable and use our personal, organizational resources and platforms for positive change.

And deeply entrenched racism is just one of many problems that continue to plague American Greek life. There’s also intrinsic classism: The New York Times reports that sorority-member dues at Bama can cost up to $4,978 a semester, which doesn’t include the cost of living in a sorority house, estimated at more than $7,000 a semester.
