Plot summary
In summer 2022, four University of Alabama students prepare for sorority bid day. The Bama Rush trend on TikTok has made recruitment week a public event. Each woman goes to great lengths to improve her chances, from creating planning binders to hiring professional sorority consultants. The sorority system and the National Panhellenic Conference do not participate in the documentary. The film also mentions The Machine, a secret society that allegedly controls student government and reserves campus resources for Greek members.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Bama Rush (2023)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Director Rachel Fleit wore a disguise around the University of Alabama campus for her own safety while filming, as shirts reading "f*ck your documentary" were promoted by university-affiliated Twitter users.
- After arriving on campus, one subject stopped responding to production out of concern for her reputation with the sorority houses, and a 19-year-old student said she was dismissed from rush in August after being wrongly accused of wearing a microphone.
- Neither the sorority system at the University of Alabama nor the National Panhellenic Conference participated in the film; Fleit told NPR the campus seemed to have a tradition of silence.
- Director Rachel Fleit contacted five hundred women while searching social media for subjects for the documentary, and few agreed to take part; none of the subjects were paid.
