RushTok fans, our time has come: Bama Rush 2025 is upon us. (Can you hear the ESPN game day music playing in the background, or is that just me?) The social media phenomenon is back for another round of OOTDs, GRWMs, and DIMLs, all leading up to the main event: bid day! If you’re invested in the new class of University of Alabama rushees and want to stay up to date on all the triumphs and dramas of this recruitment season, your algorithm probably already has you covered. But if not βΒ or if you just want to make sure you’re not missing a single update βΒ you can level up your RushTok game by following some of the Bama Rush 2025 PNMs on TikTok.
It’s always so interesting to see who stands out each year during Bama Rush. I mean, even Kylan Darnell was an unknown before her first Bama Rush videos started popping off. That said, some PNMs started early, posting TikToks of their pre-rush preparation, from packing their rush bags to simply sharing their excitement for this next chapter in their lives. And now, as Bama Rush is in full swing, the stars of RushTok 2025 are starting to shine. So, if you’re looking to get to know some of the new faces you’re about to start seeing all over RushTok, here are a handful of Bama Rush 2025 PNMs to start following now.
Leah Herrick
At a time when posting on social media during recruitment is becoming more and more fraught, Leah might have figured out the secret sauce for posting in a way that feels authentic and meaningful βΒ and may even give her a leg up with the sororities. Many of her posts give off a “video resume” vibe, in which she shares her OOTDs and rush experiences while also communicating her accomplishments and interests. She just may be setting a new standard for RushTok before our very eyes.
Lana Zimmer
Lana is shaping up to not just become a major sorority influencer, but also an overall powerhouse of a college content creator! With OOTDs, vlogs, and shopping hauls, Lana’s content is already super varied and interesting, and her fans are excited to see how Greek life and college life will add to it.
Tenisha Castle
Already one of the most popular PNMs to come out of RushTok 2025, pageant queen Tenisha is making a name for herself thanks to her sweet personality, PR hauls, and mini vlogs.
Kyla Lemons
Kyla’s video from her first day of rush actually reveals that she doesn’t plan to really post during rush, because she wants to be able to focus solely on the recruitment process. (Honestly, respect.) However, she said she plans to film her experience and post that content after rush is over. So, consider giving her a follow for all the tea once bid day is behind her!
Emma Lipkin
Alabama cheerleader Emma Lipkin already has more than 14,000 followers on TikTok and seems to have a burgeoning influencer career, so you can say she already knows what she’s doing βΒ and she’s doing it well!
Izzy Darnell
You knew this one was coming… With a big sister like Kylan, of course Izzy is going to be a budding RushTok star. Although Izzy’s future in Bama Greek life has been a bit uncertain, fans are super excited to see how the younger Darnell sister makes rush her own this season.
Addison Berk
Addison hasn’t posted a *ton* about rush yet, but her TikToks about recording her PNMs videos are so cute and relatable. (Getting ready while listening to showtunes? Sign me up.) Here’s hoping there’s more where this came from.
Becca Bittman
Florida girl Becca is heading to Bama! With her chic OOTDs and pilates princess vibes, Becca is shaping up to be one to watch.
Kendle
Kendle appears to be relatively new to TikTok (or at least, new to posting on TikTok), but her candid and relatable rush content has viewers so excited for this PNM.
Elaina Baugh
From the moment she begins her videos with “Good morning, beautiful people,” it’s clear that Elaina is bringing sunshine-y vibes to RushTok. She’s been posting numerous videos about rush each day from her ultra pink and girly dorm room, so tune in for those updates.
Riley Fields
With her energetic GRWM videos and her show-stopping red hair, Riley is a standout among this year’s class of PNMs βΒ and her “my face is from my mama” shoutouts during her OOTD videos are winning over viewers for the cuteness!
Chesney Stanley
Chesney is an immediate standout in the OOTD category for her unique looks that feature some of the biggest brands of Bama rush, including Enewton, Daily Drills, Lululemon.
Peighton Mooney
Instantly recognizable for her short brunette bob in a sea of long blonde hair (nothing wrong with that look β it’s popular for a reason!) Peighton is catching fans’ eyes not just for her signature look, but also for her peppy personality and contagious enthusiasm for rush.
Jenna Smith
If Jenna seems like a familiar face, that’s because she rushed last year as well! While it’s not clear what happened in 2024 that’s causing Jenna to go through recruitment again, fans in her comments section are hyping her up for her second shot at finding her sisterhood.
Chloe Wiest
Miss Chloe is not holding back her excitement over becoming a freshman at Bama, and it’s a safe bet that her rush content will be just as hype.
Riley Meyer
Riley is giving a burst of energy with every video she posts, and while her OOTDs have been adorable, the messages she’s been sharing about the point of rush are even more memorable. As she says in one video, “It’s not about the perfect outfit, it’s about the perfect fit βΒ in a house that aligns with your morals [and] your values … to find the perfect sisterhood.”
