Rush Talk: Your Back Stage Pass to Sorority Recruitment

We’re bringing in a BIG name for this bonus episode — and yes, we’re fully fangirling.

Trisha Addicks, known as the original sorority rush coach and founder of It’s All Greek to Me, joins Rush Talk to break down what actually matters during recruitment and what doesn’t. From her own experience, from not getting a bid freshman year to building a national coaching business, Trisha shares the real story behind sorority recruitment and how to navigate it with confidence.

We get into everything: what the Bama Rush documentary got wrong, why recruitment is more competitive than ever, and the biggest mistake PNMs make (hint: it’s easier to fix than you think). She also explains why TikTok might be hurting, not helping, your chances and what actually makes a girl stand out in conversations.

Plus, we talk about confidence, communication, conflict resolution, and why finding your right fit matters more than chasing a “top house.”
If you’re heading into recruitment — or helping someone who is — this episode is packed with insider advice you won’t find scrolling social media.
