11 Bama RushTok 2025 PNMs To Follow Before Bid Day
Roll Tide!
For the chronically online, mid-August means one thing: RushTok is back, baby. Since 2021, undergrads at the University of Alabama have been going viral for their rush videos. From the choreographed dances to the convocation day GRWMs, it’s impossible to look away from Bama Rush 2025.
On TikTok, this year’s PNMs (potential new members) have been chronicling the highs and lows — and, of course, outfits — of Bama Rush, gaining thousands of views and followers along the way. As one fan put it on X, “[It’s around that time where bama rush consumes my life.” Another tweeted, “my secret guilty pleasure is bama rush tiktok every year.”
Whether you’re tuning in to watch every viral video (or prefer checking out the price breakdowns of Bama Rush OOTDs), there’s a little something for everyone. And with Bid Day coming up on Aug. 17, now’s the time to get caught up on everything that’s happening on Sorority Row.
Already, there are a few standout stars who are taking Rush by storm. To stay up to date on all things Bama Rush, here are 11 PNMs to follow now.
