I didn’t fully know what to expect when going into the documentary, but being very unfamiliar with university Greek life, and southern culture, I thought it would be interesting. It was! What I liked most was how personal the director made it, however, and, hard not to given the threats they received during filming. The parallels she draws between Rush Week participants and her own struggles with wearing masks to be accepted were very effective for driving home the point that these women aren’t mad but human. They’re doing something we all do. Their means may be highly ritualized, and like all traditions, susceptible to machinations, which can make them seem so foreign, so impossible to understand, but they are doing what we all do: trying to be accepted by other people.
