Why Was College More High School Than High School?

Aleen, Jordana, and Sami are back for episode two of the new season, and this week they’re talking all about their college days together. They tell us how they ended up going to the same school (it was a lot like an MLM recruitment) and why they each chose their majors. They talk about what dorm life was like, dating in college, and what led them to join a sorority together. They explain the sorority rush process, and why it felt more like high school than actual high school did. Plus, they explain how their feelings about the toxic elements of Greek life helped shape the Betches brand in the first place. We hear the story of when and where Betches was born during their Senior year, including what their headspace was like at the time. Then they dive into the Dear Betch email of the week, all about the bonds you form in school and when it’s time to admit a friendship has run its course. A listener writes in to ask why a close friend has fallen further and further out of touch, and whether or not she should just move on altogether. Finally, they play a game of “Senior Superlatives” where they hand out awards to one another based on what they were really like in college.
