This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Welcome to Dirty Rush, the truth about sorority life with your host, me, Gia Judice, Daisy Kent, and Jennifer Fessler. Hi, guys. Welcome back to another episode of Dirty Rush. So today I have a very special guest. Well, she's very special, and she's also very special to me.

You guys may actually know her, but I have someone named Annie. sharp and you may recognize the name and or the face from a very popular radio show to say the least called jeff lewis live by the way you guys i'm we're broadcasting this from vale colorado where i am spending a week with my family and yeah it is it's really beautiful here really fun i don't ski so probably wasn't the vacation for me necessarily but anyway we're taking a break from the break because i am so obsessed with my little miss annie No, I literally am obsessed every time you come on the show and they mention you. I'm like, I love that bitch.

They always make fun of me. We're like kind of parents. Well, I feel like, Annie, like you're kind of me at that, like at your age, I feel like I was a lot like you. And it's so funny because having you on Dirty Rush, because I also, I was a sorority girl at a southern school, University of Texas. You were at Ole Miss, right? And I was at Texas. I was in 85. but I think I was the least sorority girl, sorority girl ever.

At least that's kind of how I felt and how I feel now, even though I'm obsessed with everything, you know, sorority. But like you do not, I don't think you give sorority girl. I don't exactly what I mean by that. I was very defiant of the like sorority things, but I'm like a girly girl. I like to party. I want to put on costumes.

You are girly girl. Right. But like the sorority girl aspect of it, like where we had to like, show up to things and like be sober and like be a community i just was like not down for that in college like the blue lipstick i couldn't so yeah i don't even know what does it mean the blue lipstick i don't know what that is oh i was a capa capa gamma so everything was our colors were blue on blue and so everything was blue so everyone would like spray their hair blue do blue lips blue eye shadow and every time I did it, like, it was so ugly.

Well, you could never be ugly, but I also feel like maybe also conformity is not necessarily your thing. No. Right? I'm getting way ahead of myself. First of all, tell the people where you went to school and what sorority you were in, even though we just mentioned it. Okay. I went to the University of Mississippi, also known as Ole Miss, and I was at Kappa Kappa, Kama.

And it's a good house there, but. There's very, like, deep, deep rooted, like, sororities that are, like, KD and tried out. They're, like, all Mississippi girls. And then there's, so those are the tip-top houses. And then there's, like, other top houses, but they're not full of Mississippi girls, which I would say are Fimeu, DG, and Kappa. And so we're all on one street. Did you have sorority houses?

Yeah. Okay, so we're all, like, on one section of campus. And then there's all the other ones that are on, like, another section that is, like, Kayo, 80 pie, whatever, it doesn't matter. So I was a Kappa and I only got, I did not want to rush. I didn't even want to go to college. And then my sister was a year ahead of me. And she went and she's like type A to a T like she was getting into a good sorority. Like her life depended on it. But she went to, she went to Ole Miss. Yeah. Yeah. A year before me. Just a quick time. Why did you guys, why Ole Miss? And you were living in Texas at the time?

Yeah. So she found it and she loved it and we're 18 months apart. And then I didn't want to go to college. I was like, I'm going to move to L.A. and be a star. And my parents were like, no. You did do that in the end, but okay. Well, they were like college first. They always believed in me, but they were like, chill out. Like, let's do college. Let's be a little bit traditional. So then I didn't apply anywhere for school because I didn't want to go. And then it came out. like acceptance letter started coming out. And I think my sister had applied me to Omas herself. And so that's like the only place that I was accepted. So then my parents were like, you're going. I got to meet your sister. She sounds like the best. No, she's the best.

She's a hardcore bitch, but like in the best way. One of us. No, literally one of us. Okay. So you go to the quintessential southern like Greek life school, right? Yeah. And were you going with the intent to rush? Like you went in because of your sister knowing that.

that was going to be part of this experience, were you? Yeah, I was, if I was going to Ole Miss, which I was, I was going to rush. Like, there was no way I wasn't going to rush. Right. Right. But, yeah, I was like, and I was very entering the rush process. Like, I always say, like, I've an open mind. I really wanted to be a FIMEO because I'm obsessed with Pink.

So I want to be a FIMEU so bad. And I met, like, three FIMEUs, and I got cut, like, the first round, I think. and then after that But your sister was president of Kappa And you still didn't want me in Kappa? Well no, because I wanted to be different I was like I'm already going to her school

I don't But then I got there and like During rush I don't know how your rush experience was But like you go to each house And they pull the girl and they talk to you I would go into Kappa And everyone would be like catering to me

So excited to see me Because I was a sister of an active So I was like A legacy Right And so the attention I got there, I mean, like, I'm flattered. Right. How could I not go to CAFA?

Yeah, that was always how it was. I mean, I remember the sorority I ended up in as well. Well, there were two Jewish sororities, and I wanted to be in one. But it was, yeah, it was a different feeling, certainly, than going into the other sororries where they didn't know who I was and didn't really care. But anyway, okay. So do you have any, like, crazy wild rush stories from the week, do you remember? my rush was very obvious from the start like my sister was an active Kappa there was no way any other house was going to take me so I kind of got screwed so and I thought I was like oh I have an open mind and then like I just started getting caught by everyone cool and then I had like the two loser houses left and Kappa and I was like okay like I can't with you I'm sorry I don't mean to be offensive but we all know there's Luther houses I need this is I need this don't the show is called Dirty Rush. We're all on the same page. Go. Okay, good. Good. But then what was so sick

is my junior year, they were redoing the Kappa House and the worst sorority on our campus got kicked off campus because they were so bad. And no one wanted to pledge them. And so then we had to live in the loser house for a year. What is that? What do you mean? Wait, no one wanted to pledge. They had an empty house. They didn't have an empty house. The chapter got kicked off our campus because it's such like a bad reputation. Okay. From my understanding. Okay.

That house was vacant. So then they were like, oh, we can stay in that house. But then we like... Did you like living in there in the end? I didn't end up living in the house because they made us live in the other house. I didn't want to. Okay. Okay.

Well, all right. So I'm a brat too. So tell me a little bit about how Ole Miss the Greek life and specifically the sorority system is different than other schools. It's very... Okay, so there's this thing during rush on what I wasn't like on the side where I was like getting sorted, whatever it's called when I was on the side of like deciding. It's so crazy. Like we go through every single girl.

We have like slideshows. We all like vote and like say what we know about them. And it's like a chapter of over 400 women. And we're like looking at the slideshow. Oh, I know her. I went to high school with her. she does this, this, and this. I dated her brother.

One time she yelled at her mom. Like the craziest, like, the craziest things. You think, like, obviously you're conscious of the fact that this is so, like, Ole Miss is just so known for this, right, for being so intense in terms of Greek life. But so I picture not, I don't know, obviously not everyone at Old Miss is involved in Greek life. No. But I just picture it as, you know, so intense.

specifically the rush process but also like we see the videos on TikTok and you know it is the it's like these choreographed dances that look like it's you know perfect like was it always like that was it that intense when you were there you wouldn't believe the drama like we go to the house for work week the week before rush starts or school starts I think rush also and there's one girl that's like rush chairman the themes the way she used yells at us, like the friendships that are falling apart, the tears, it's insane. I'll never forget it. Like, we had a rehearsal. Yes. And we're like jumping and clapping and we're getting screamed out by our peers. It was insane. But one time we went home and they were so mad at us because

we, whatever, I don't remember why they were so mad at us. I think we didn't like dress up enough for the themes and we weren't taking it seriously enough. So they sent us home. And then they had an optional practice that night, but they threatened us. And like, you have to come. but it was an optional practice and I'll never forget I was like sitting at my apartment and my friend two my friends came over and they're like are you coming and I was like no like it's option I'm not going and they literally looked at me tears in their eyes you're not going to support oh come on are you kidding me no not the girl literally was like if you need to dress up oh it's screaming and you're like laughing at her you're like

And you go to the back, I'm like, dude, fucking chelax. No, and I would dress like, like one time our theme, I think was like rock and roll and I dressed up as Kesha, but not even. Just like a, like really ugly. I did not plan ahead. Neither did my whole friend group. None of us planned ahead. We just all looked like we put on a pile of shit. Like we looked terrible.

I love that. I mean, I feel like that's, I would want to be in that sorority. Like that sorority, it would absolutely call me. In Kappa, we're like, that's. no most of the girls like were picture perfect cute like put together right no my like one of my last week of school this girl that was like the perfect quintessential kappa i'm still friends with her she was in san diego now she came up to me and she was like are you guys are alcoholics like you guys have problems like cool love my reputation

Hi, I'm Radhi Dvlukaya and I am the host of a really good cry podcast. This week I am joined by Anna Runkle, also known as the crappy childhood fairy, a creator, teacher and guide helping people heal from the lasting emotional wounds of unsafe or chaotic childhoods. We talk about how the things we went through when we were younger can still show up in our adult lives, in our relationships, our reactions, even in the way we feel in our own bodies. And Anna opens up about her own story, what helped her notice the patterns she was stuck in, and how she slowly started started teaching her body that it is safe now. So when I got attacked, it was very random.

Four guys jumped out of a car and just started beating me and my friend. And they broke my jaw on my teeth. I was unconscious. Then I woke up and I screamed. And I screamed because even though I didn't know who I was or where I was, something in me was just like, hold on, wait. They could kill me and I'm not going to let that happen. I'm not going to let that happen.

I'm going to get through this. And I did. Listen to a really good cry on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. The social media trend that's landing some Gen Ziers in jail. The progressive media darling whose public meltdown got her fired. I'm going to take Francesco off the network entirely. The massive TikTok boycott against Target that makes no actual sense.

I will continue getting stuff from Target and I will continue to not pay for it. And the MAGA influencers whose trip to the White House ended in embarrassment. So refreshing to have the press secretary after the last few years who's both intelligent and articulate. You won't hear about these online stories in the mainstream media, but you can keep up with them and all the other entertaining and outrageous things happening online in media and in politics with the Brad versus Everyone podcast, hosted by me, Brad Palumbo. Every day of the week, I bring you on a wild ride through the most delulu takes on the internet, criticizing the extremes of both sides from an independent perspective.

Join in on the insanity and listen to the Brad versus Everyone podcast on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Let me ask you this. It's just another, like, quick aside. But does, if you guys, who's over listening, don't listen to the Jeff Lewis show. I just, did they all know there that you may not get this, but did they all know there that you were at Old Miss and a sorority? They know, but they don't get it. Like, it's the kind of thing that, like, if you know, like, Southern schools, you get it or I don't think they get it.

Like, I just say, oh, I went to a party school. I just love that your career path is so fabulous and it just is so doesn't follow, you know, the beaten trail. What's that expression? In my mind, off the beaten path? Your aid, off the beaten path. Thank you. And, but being a sorority feels it's so structured, right? And I feel like you're such not a structured woman.

And so it's like, I kind of enjoy picturing you. And so having said that, you told me that your sister was constantly having to get you out of shit, right? Like, you would get in trouble, which doesn't surprise me. So like, I told her I was doing this podcast and she was literally like, Annie, please wouldn't blare us our chapter. I'm like, you're 28 years old. Why do you care? Like, but I didn't care when I was in it. But like we had functions all the time.

So one night we had like a date party. I cannot remember the, oh, it was a Mai Tai. Have you heard of Mai Tai? No. So my tie, we always had the theme. So my tie was you pick a date for your friends. And the way you do it is you get the dates tie and the girls are wearing it at the pregame. And then the guys show up and they find the girl wearing their tie.

And that's your date. And so it was that day party. And I kind of miss those kind of things. Like those were so fun. But we go to the bar. And I'm pretty sure I use that. a fake to get into the bar. I think I was underage. And me and my friend, we're like walking around. We're already absolutely wasted. I drank out of a baby bottle in college, just straight fireball,

like a psychopath. And I brought it to the bar with me. We get there. We go into this like closet that we thought was the bathroom. And it turns out it was the liquor closet. And we're like, hell yeah. So we're doing like full photo shoot, like climbing up the ladder, like in these tiny little dresses like acting insane and then we walk out and we're both wearing our date's jackets so we both put bottles in the pockets of the jackets and we're absolutely belitt and we get the hats and we put them on backwards because like some employees left their hats in there and we walk out we're both wearing hats that say swag and um these jacket coats or whatever and then um we're walking around then they grab us immediately and they like take the stuff and they're like what the

heck you guys whatever and we're just like oh whatever like move on party and then all of a sudden i hear that they called the cops and so i called my friends so already sisters called the cops or the bar the bar okay because we raided a liquor closet even though we gave everything back and we're just like being dumb like whatever probably shouldn't have done that but whatever so i call my friend and he comes and drives to the front and he picks us up literally as the police are pulling up we're like jumping in the getaway car and like getting away oh my god you ran from the cops i cannot i cannot with you hey they brought the footage to my now brother-in-law who was my sister's boyfriend and they were like because they knew he was the boyfriend of the president and they were like do you know who these

girls are yeah and the king why was he a cop no no no he just was like my sister's boyfriend so they knew like the president would know everyone the boyfriend okay okay okay and they couldn't find Ellie. I think Ellie was, my sister, was dealing with whatever, a drunk girl throwing up somewhere. And so they ask Ethan, and he's like, I have no idea who they are. How many times does he said that about you, my love? He was a king. Like, the amount of times I called him, like, can you go pick me up? Can you go pick me up? Well, tell me that, but then, so did you get in trouble? Like, did your sister have to get you out of it? Yes. So we got called to standards, me and my friend Anna. And I worked for the school newspaper. And so,

So, and I am terrified of confrontation, like, really? Yeah, I, yeah. Like, if I'm going to be in trouble and I know I did something wrong, I cannot stand there and hear my punishment. Like, I just get so, it's a bad. I need to learn to work through that. But anyway, so I had a job. So I was like, I have work. I can't come to standards.

And so my friend had to go to standards by herself, and she got yelled at. And then by, like, a girl in our sorority. Like, I'm just like, it's so dumb. Yeah. And, yeah, we just got in trouble and then I don't, I don't think anything really happened. It's like a slap on the wrist and then nothing. Was your sister there? Was your sister like, always saved you or the other, the other girls, like, presentful?

My sister was the reason I didn't get in trouble because she was like, it's Annie, like, you guys know Annie. And they're like, yeah, she's crazy. Wait, would your sister get pissed at you for it? Oh, oh, yeah. my mom's phone would just be like blowing up both of us like Ellie did this and that and Annie did this. Annie's so embarrassing. She gets so drunk and blah, blah, blah.

And then my sister like didn't drink till she was, did not have a sip of alcohol until she was 21. And even once she turned 21, she like, Oh, come on. Are you serious? Yes. She's by the books. That's why she probably made the best president ever of Kappa.

Oh, yeah. And people in the sorority. So like whenever there was like functions you had to go to, you had to like check in for attendance. And so Ellie would have to like mark everyone. So me and her look so similar. And there's 400 girls. And so people would come up to me and be like,

Ellie, I'm here. And I'd be like, gotcha. Literally no clue who they are, not writing them down. Annie, I wish I'd ask Ellie to come on too. I would love her version of this. Next time. Mm-hmm. We have to like, we have to bring her on.

So, all right. So poor little Ellie. No, poor Ellie. Because I was going to say to you before that, like, usually we say to people to the guests that come on if you don't want to say the name of your sorority or even where you went to school or you want a fake name. And I didn't even say that to you. Shame on me. I don't care. Exactly. That's the thing.

I knew you would be like. The best thing they ever did was give me a bed. They regret it probably. Well, no, they don't regret it. There's no way they do. Because I feel like your sister's also must be so proud of you. Do you keep in touch with a lot of them? Yeah, I actually do.

It's interesting because when I was in college, I had a friend group, and I still am friends with them, and we're close. But now since I've left college, I've expanded, there's like five of girls from Ole Miss Kappa's that live in L.A. and San Diego, and I just, I text them all the time. We hang out. One girl's going to be my stylist for, like, the upcoming year, which is so fun. I don't know. It's just, like, fun and interesting how I've connected with these.

these girls, like, post-grad that I literally never spoke to in the sorority when we were there together, but, like, they just feel like home because, I mean. Really? Yes. Oh, yeah. Any girl in my sorority, if I called them, absolutely. They're, like, crying, like, or if I needed something and I was in town, like, they would absolutely drop anything to have dinner or.

Really? Oh, for sure. Yeah, I didn't feel like that. I definitely, and because I moved out of Texas so quickly after I graduated, I didn't keep in touch with as many. I mean, I did keep in touch with some of them, close friends, but like I didn't have that feeling of camaraderie and like sisterhood as much as it sounds like that you did. Like somebody that would, even if they were a CAPA, period, they would drop everything. Would you drop anything for any CAPA or just CAPAs that went to Ole Miss?

Oh, Ole Miss Capas. Not just I feel, I mean, whenever people are like, oh, I'm a CAPA, I feel like it's cool like some of my friends moms are kappas and i'm like oh my gosh like it just makes me like like them more i don't know why because kappas are different every sorority's different at every school right there's just something about it right i'm like okay like what do you feel like capas are known for like you know if you had to sort of characterize them as something at my school we were really fun and like we didn't really take things that seriously but they party girls we were absolutely party girls oh yeah but we weren't there was like party girls sluts and then there was party girls and we were just party girls.

There had to be some sluts in there. Give me a break. Oh, for sure. There's sluts everywhere. Yeah, exactly. I was one of them. Yes, okay. Yeah.

Yeah. So that's really, I love that you could just, you guys would just, even if you weren't great friends, just draw. No, I'm telling you. So I just, you know, I just broke up with my boyfriend. Yeah. And I'm like, oh my God, like I want to like reach out to girls and whatever and make more friends and form deeper friendships.

And there's this girl here names Kelly. She was an active capo with me. She's a year older than. me. And I just damned her on Instagram. I said, let's hang. Send her my number. And she was like, oh my God, yes. I can't wait. So we're making plans. And it's like we haven't spoken since maybe rush in college. That's crazy. Yeah. I love that. darling, whose public meltdown got her fired. I'm going to take Francesco off the network entirely.

The massive TikTok boycott against Target that makes no actual sense. I will continue getting stuff from Target, and I will continue to not pay for it. And the MAGA influencers, whose trip to the White House ended in embarrassment. So refreshing to have the press secretary after the last few years who's both intelligent and articulate.

Hi, I'm Radhi Dvluca, and I am the host of a really good cry podcast. This week, I am joined by Anna Runkul, also known as the Crows. happy childhood fairy, a creator, teacher, and guide helping people heal from the lasting emotional wounds of unsafe or chaotic childhoods. We talk about how the things we went through when we were younger can still show up in our adult lives, in our relationships, our reactions, even in the

something in me was just like, hold on, wait, they could kill me and I'm not going to let that happen. I'm not going to let that happen. I'm going to get through this and I did. Listen to a really good cry on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. So I'm going to ask you this, but I know the answer. I mean, would you do it again? A million percent, yeah. Yeah.

I mean, how you were saying, like, I'm not like, I don't really like to be conformed to. Right. They had this, I don't know, you didn't have social media whenever you were in your sorority, but they were crazy about what you posted. And you weren't allowed to be on elevated surfaces. Right. I know that now. But it was like bad words.

And so they had this account and they would comment. It was like an anonymous account and they would comment like a blue hearts and you would have to take it down. No, I've heard about this. A lot of this. We've talked to a lot of girls that talk about this. Like they would leave a little whatever emoji and that means you're in trouble. Take it down.

So one time they called me and they're like, can you be in charge of this anonymous account monitoring your pledge class on Snapchat? If you ever see anything, just respond blue hearts. I was like, okay. And I just like, never did it. I'm not about to be a narque. They know you at all? Why did they never ask you to do that?

What a joke. They're like, you love social media. Like, you should do this job. Like, you really would give a shit if someone was doing. You'd be like, go girl, queen, sleigh. Literally. Right. You're eating.

Yeah, you're eating. Exactly. Wait. So I asked you before, but also, like, how do you explain it? I'm not going to say to like Jeff Lewis, but like, I don't know. I'm sure it doesn't come up that often on the radio, but in general, like, when people meet you, is it, you try to explain that experience because it does see it feels so far kind of from who you are. It does, and I feel like it almost, it dumbs me down a little bit. People that don't get it, they're like, oh, you went to a Southern party school and you're a sorority girl.

Be Southern. I mean, honestly, you're dumb. Really? Yeah. Yeah. They are like, oh, your degree doesn't. I mean, anyone that meets you knows you're not dumb, but okay. You'd be surprised, though, like, people just immediately, like, stereotype. Like, if I say I went to NYU and I was in a sorority, I feel like it's a completely different picture someone would paint of me.

And if I say, I went to a part of school. I think your old miss has that attached to it. That's so interesting. Mm-hmm. Well, because it's also Mississippi. Yeah. And I don't know. It's interesting.

Yeah. So I don't really love the, like, stereotype of it, but I'm not, I mean, I don't really care. Like, that's why I love Paris Hilton so much because I think she has such, like, a stereotype of being a dumb bitch. and she's not one. Oh, all right. She's brilliant. And so, like, I really respect that. And I love that type of lifestyle because, like, then no one takes you too seriously

and you're always impressing people. Yeah. I remember Jeff said that about you. Like, he was talking one morning about your parents, meeting your parents. And, like, he was just saying to them, like, I'm so impressed with her. Or, like, even to me, he's like, I admire Annie. That's so sweet. Yeah.

I mean, I didn't say it. He did. Yeah. Like, thanks, Jen. Yeah. So, I mean, anything else you want to add here about your, would you go to Old Miss again? I've thought about that a lot. And I think I would. I loved it. Like, I really did. And I don't feel like it held me back from anything. But it was a cool experience. Like, it's a small town. And we would, I'd be wasted on the side of the street. Like, it's a party school. I cannot, like, emphasize that enough. Like, I would just be. Underage, wasted on the side of the street, like getting myself into trouble. And the cop would be like, give me your phone.

I'm calling you an Uber. Like, you're okay. And they would like, it was like a no fails. Like they would kind of give you a billion chances before you got in trouble. Like one time I was at a bar and I was so upset. Something happened with some random guy and I was so drunk and I just fell all the way down the stairs. And I get to the bottom. So humiliating.

And a cop called me an Uber and I get home. I cannot. I would go there again because it was just a safe place to like, grow, like as a person. Also, I could be wrong, but I feel like with you, if you guys have her, have the pleasure of meeting Annie, it's like, it's, I don't feel like you could anyone could ever really get mad of you. Like, you're just, first of all, if anyone gets mad at, I picture you just crying.

I do. That's what I'm saying. I can't do a confrontation. Right. So then you're just like, which reminds me of my daughter, Rachel, who, I mean, she got a driver's license. she, like the first week, she hit someone, not a tree. Oh, my God.

A person, okay? Not a person, okay? And she, it was some man, he was pissed. He got out of his car. I guess it was a crosswalk. And she became so hysterical and the cops came that they were all comforting Rachel. Like I'm like talking to her, she can't breathe. She puts me on the phone with the cops.

The cops are like, she's going to be okay. I'm like, well, yeah, but is the man that she hit? going to be okay but you remind me of that like you're like there's just it'd be hard to ever really be mad at you no my parents when i was a kid they'd be like we're not going to punish you because you punish yourself enough because i would just be like crying i i feel so bad i just well listen i mean just last question but do you feel like omis is though the stereotype that people think that it is and the sorority life there like i mean i i picture it in such a i went to a Southern school and I was in a sorority, but like Ole Miss is like the ultimate. Do you think

it lives up to that? I do. I mean, it's, it's so sick. And like the people you meet and like the Mississippi legacy of being a kiddie and a tradile and like the fraternities and like the parties. Like it really is crazy and like thinking back on it. I'm so like thankful I got to experience it. It was just like being in it. You don't realize like what you're in because Rush, TikTok didn't blow up until I think I was like a senior in college. And so I didn't realize like what I was a part of. And it's just so cool. Like I love it.

I love all the people I met. What I learned. Like all the parties were so fun. The fraternity parties like the bars. And I was sick. I would go again in two seconds. The game day of it all. Good.

And what's cool about the South is like everyone is like sees you. as family like and so it was very welcoming and like home immediately would you recommend it like there are to our listeners there are I'm sure there are girls listening that are still in high school and you know thinking about which school to go to and and about Greek life would you recommend it to let's say girls here on the East Coast I would recommend it to anyone that asked me where they should go to college like it is so fun and I learned so much and I'm pretty much mentality because I was a broadcast journalism major and you get out what you put in.

So, like, you don't necessarily need to get A's, but you need to know, like, what you're in goal at the end of colleges and you're going to be successful. So my goal was networking and, like, social media and reality TV and production and whatever. And so I did internships that could get me there. So then I didn't necessarily need to take my classes as serious. So I did, like, the school news station

and then my sororities, I was able to have fun and, like, not worry about getting all A's. I didn't need all A's. Do you think Jeff Lewis knows my GPA? No, I don't. I don't. But to those high school girls listening, get all A's if you can. You don't have to. It depends on what you want to do.

If you want to be an accountant, you want to be a doctor? Yeah, you do. Yes. So, like, I think that's also a thing, like, with people that, because I'm like, oh, I partied a lot in college. I'm like, well, what did you learn? I'm like, I worked my ass off. You do learn a lot being a sororough. also. I mean, I think that's so much of, not every career choice, but so many careers are about

being able to connect with people, right? And I feel like every job I ever had, and I had a lot of them. When I was your age, I was always switching jobs. But I was very easy for me to get jobs because I like that process of interviewing. Like, it was like rush. Like, I like having my personality on and like connecting with people. And then, you know, being in the jobs, I was, I always had friends. Whatever job it was. And I always was like kind of, I don't mean this in an obnoxious way, but, but kind of loved. And I was really never good at my job. But you're a personality hire. It was a personality hire. And I feel like that's something maybe that when you're in a sorority, that's a great, you know, to be able to learn how to get along, specifically with, you know,

other women. And I feel like those are, those are lessons that you take with you. no i think networking is the secret to success like just yeah yeah but also nurturing those relationships like oh you're in college and your dad knows someone that does what you want to do you email them once and you move on no like you have to call them get to know them let them in on your life and like become their friend have them see you as their own kid like you need to really invest in relationships and then people want to help you and see you and it's not just using people like you're growing that's how you enhance your life you learn about people that are successful and they teach you things and you teach them and whatever you are very wise my girl it's fun

yeah i love you i love you for coming on we're gonna have you on again please maybe with your sister yeah actually she would she's so should yeah oh wait can i shout out my new youtube channel yes i dropped my first vlog today because i broke up with my boyfriend like a week ago and i had my first, like, single girl weekend. And so I, like, went shopping and parties and just trying to come out things. So I was dating him for, like, four years. So it's been pretty dark. But it was so fun. I, yeah, I'm trying to stay sober, but then I ended up getting drunk because Jeff and Shane were like, you should numb it. And I'm like, it didn't numb it. I sobbed. And so, anyways, run a journey. And I'm trying to vlog about it and make it fun so I can distract
