Never before has a sorority recruitment video been responsible for such an uproar on the Internet.
University of Alabama’s Alpha Phi sorority posted a 2015 recruitment video which received over 700,000 views on YouTube, and a lot of backlash.
So much so that the sorority had to remove the video from YouTube, and was instead re-uploaded by other users.
The video shows 72 women blowing kisses, applying their makeup in their HUGE sorority house, jumping in a lake, eating ices, and frolicking on a football field.
And all in their tiny bikinis and jean shorts.
One woman’s response to the video was not very positive. She said that the video was “worse for women than Donald Trump,” criticizing the video’s lack of diversity and calling it “reductive and objectifying.”
Her name is Bailey, and she says she is an Writer, and Magazine Copy Editor on AL.com, meanwhile she has only written for the website once before.
Bailey says:
“Do you agree or disagree with this It’s a parade of white girls and blonde hair dye, coordinated clothing, bikinis and daisy dukes, glitter and kisses, bouncing bodies, euphoric hand-holding and hugging, gratuitous booty shots, and matching aviator sunglasses.It’s all so racially and aesthetically homogeneous and forced, so hyper-feminine, so reductive and objectifying, so Stepford Wives: College Edition. It’s all so … unempowering.”
Do you agree or disagree with this woman’s opinion? Let us know after you watch the video below:
