RushTok has seriously exploded in the past few years, with PNMs and sisters showing viewers the ins and outs of recruitment, sororities, and Greek life as a whole. For many, sorority rush season is a source of endless entertainment, but but for some — namely the active members and potential new members (PNMs) — Greek life is a quintessential part of college. In fact, many dream about running home to their ideal sorority before they even graduate high school.Â
That’s probably why, way before rush week even begins, some of the PNMs get way ahead of the game when it comes to preparing for sorority recruitment. Planning outfits, backup outfits, rush bags, beauty appointments, and more are all part of the process — but your physical appearance is only a small part of the equation; it’s your personality and communication skills that will really make you stand out during recruitment. And, yes, many PNMs are turning to professionals for help with this.Â
That said, one-on-one sorority rush coaches can cost a pretty penny. Instead, some are turning to something far more accessible — and totally free: Advice from sorority rush experts on TikTok.Â
Of course, being yourself is the most important aspect when it comes to rushing, but there’s no shame in gaining some pointers and advice. So, if you’re planning to rush this fall and are still looking for some guidance, check out what these six rush experts have to say.

Abbie Sky truly has a grasp on this generation of Greek life — which, TBH, has evolved quite a bit from traditional Greek life. Specifically, Sky does a great job of not only showing her viewers what not to do during rush, but also showing what to actually do, and, most importantly, why.
