Alix Earle shared the brutal recruitment process
The New Jersey native spared no details when discussing the "brutal" recruitment process for sororities, which she termed "disgusting" and "traumatic."

Describing the process, Alix explained, "We go home for winter break, and you come back, and it's rush week. All the girls get a set schedule, and it's like four or five days. I'm stressing out about what to wear; I'm like, My outfits have to be perfect or they're not going to like me."
Alix didn't mince words when recounting her ordeal, likening the recruitment process to "hell camp."
During rush week, potential sorority members undergo interviews before they may receive an invitation to join a sorority house.
Alix revealed that she was terrified to enter the sorority houses and was overwhelmed by anxiety throughout the process.
She shared, "I think I blacked out, I was going in and out of consciousness, I feel woozy, I don't even know what this girl is saying to me, and part of this has to do with my anxiety, but we were watching the sorority recruitment video that they were playing, and I was like, 'I’m going to faint right now."
Alix Earle's candid revelations shed light on the challenges and emotional toll that some college students experience during sorority rush week. She said, "I thought my life was over."
