Hey Phi Mu, Reel in Your Clout Chasers

Amen! Finally someone steps up and tells it like it is.

Ha! My friend who's going to Ole Miss next fall told me she got followed by a Phi Mu from Bama. As soon as she followed her back, the girl unfollowed her. Bet it's the same person. \n\n\n\n\n

Let's not blame just one girl either. There are several hardcore clout chasers in that pledge class. Right now they are trying to get their follower counts up because we al know that is of core importance.

Let's also add some of the extremely long "linktree" lists that the clout chasers put in their bios. Puleeezzeee

To be fair, not all Phil Mus are like this. And honestly, there are girls in several houses that view pre-recruitment as an opportunity to blow up their social media following.

To them, every bio on an Alabama Class of 2027 Instagram page is a potential new follower, not a PNM for their house. They want new girls to follow them, but don't want to follow them back because they're obsessed with their ratio.

I've been perusing the '27 bios since January and following the girls I like (gasp, even those far OOR). I can't imagine following someone with the intention of dumping them as soon as they follow me back.

Maybe these amazing women should use their brains to build their social media platforms on a daily basis. If all they can do is look forward to prerecruitment and "follows" it doesn't say much for them. That's laziness.

It brands them, and their sorority, as shallow and self-absorbed. And frankly, it's embarrassing for Greek Life overall.

But do sororities care enough to stop it? That remains to be seen.

Hey y'all. I'm a hopeful PNM for fall rush at Alabama. Thank you for posting about this because this exact thing happened to me yesterday. I was worried I'd done or posted something wrong, so at least now I know it likely had nothing to do with me.

Wish I knew who you are talking about. Any hints?

I'm not on Instagram much, but I saw a couple Phi Mus followed me recently. One has a little above 4,000 followers. I don't want to follow her back if she's just gonna use me as a follower and ditch me.

Are many Phi Mus like this or are girls like the clout chaser mentioned the exception?

This is the laziest thread bashing another house I have ever seen. Do better.
