TikTok Star Izzy Darnell Drops Alabama Rush
Izzy Darnell, a popular person on TikTok, went through the sorority rush process at the University of Alabama but chose not to join.
She made this choice before finding out which sorority would accept her, known as Bid Day.
One of the main reasons was that she didn't want to be limited in what she could post on social media.
She also wanted to be seen as her own person, not just known as her sister's sister, and so she put her sister's sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha, lower on her preference list.
Her family supported her decision, understanding that she didn't feel the need for a sorority.
Izzy Darnell, a TikTok star, decided not to join a sorority at the University of Alabama after participating in rush week.
She made this decision before Bid Day, despite documenting her rush experience for her followers.
Darnell's decision was influenced by new rules regarding social media use by sorority members and a desire to maintain her online presence.
She ranked Zeta Tau Alpha, where her sister is a senior member, near the bottom of her preferences to establish her own identity.
Darnell and her family stated she felt she didn't need a sorority and preferred to avoid restrictions on her social media activities.
