The Rush Bible: Secrets to Surviving Sorority Recruitment with Trisha Addicks

Author: Tara Simkins May 13, 2026 Duration: 46:04

🎙️ Welcome back to the Soul-u-tions Podcast!

If you are the mother of a daughter—whether she is 3, 13, or 18—this special episode is an absolute must-listen.


Today, we are joined by Trisha Addicks, America's leading sorority rush coach and the founder of It's All Greek to Me. Trisha is here to celebrate the official release of her brand new book, The Rush Bible: Secrets to Crush Sorority Recruitment and Find Your Forever Greek Home!


In this episode, we dive deep into the highly competitive, emotionally loaded world of modern sorority recruitment. Trisha explains exactly why the landscape of rush has drastically changed since our college days, and why being a "legacy" is no longer a guaranteed ticket in. More importantly, we discuss the vital work mothers must do to prepare themselves to handle the inevitable rejections and disappointments, so they don't project their own trauma onto their daughters.


In this episode, you will discover:


Why "disappointment comes from expectations" and how to properly manage your "Plan B" during rush week.


The crucial reason mothers need to build their own "support squad" of friends who aren't currently going through the rush process.


How to help your daughter develop essential interpersonal skills—like making eye contact and being a good listener—that have been diminished by modern screen time.


Why a rejection during rush does not define your daughter's worth, and how to embrace it as redirection.


The inspiring story of how the 2021 Bama Rush documentary pushed Trisha to finally write her book.
