It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat just hanging there.

Welcome to Dirty Rush, the truth about sorority life with your host, me, Gia Judeis,

Daisy Kent and Jennifer Kessler.

Welcome back to another episode of Dirty Rush.

I'm your host, Daisy Kent.

And today we're talking to a sorority rush expert known as Bid Bible,

also known as Abby Sky.

She's here to give us a lowdown on everything you need to know about your social media presence before you rush.

So let's welcome Abby in.

Hi, hi, Abby.

Thanks for coming on.

Yeah, of course.

Thanks so much for inviting me.

How are you?

Of course.

I was like looking through your Instagram.

I'm excited to chat about all what you do.

Yeah, no, me too.

Oh my gosh.

And my sister absolutely loves Gia.

And of course, I saw your season and I saw you in the wild ago.

That's so cute.

And you went to Kappa Gama or you were in Kappa Kappa Gama at USC, right?

Yeah, exactly.

Awesome.

Are you, when did you graduate?

Are you still in school?

No, I graduated two years ago.

Two years ago.

Okay.

That's what it's fresh.

Yeah.

Cool.

And did you throw or did you hold a position on exap?

No, I didn't, but I got to see all the behind the scenes.

You know, because you were in this already.

And so did you hold a position?

Yeah, I was panellanic.

Okay.

Oh, wow.

Okay.

Have the whole thing.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, it was like, I was like the panellanic person for my sorority.

So I wasn't like on on like panellanic with the school,

but I'll just go to all the panellanic meetings had to like know everything.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, it's a lot.

So that's cool.

How did you start doing like what you're doing?

Yeah.

Oh my gosh.

It started back when I rushed my first time, my sophomore year at USC.

Um, yeah.

And I didn't know anything going into it.

I mean, despite having a mom, a dad and all of that, I was all were in Greek,

but they kind of just told me a calf on with it.

And actually, my mom was a one who's like, maybe you should prep, but I was like,

no, no, I don't really know why.

I'm good.

Yeah.

I think it's a social club like aren't I just supposed to talk?

Um, so yeah.

And so my best friend and I went into it and we thought we had great conversations.

Everything seemed sweet and normal.

And especially myself being a very involved high school student.

I student body president.

I was very confident because of all these things.

So I was like, okay, I think like that went well.

Um, and, you know, naturally, after you go to that first day,

you're like, oh, I really loved certain houses over others.

Yeah.

And so yeah, completely found love already.

But the next morning, I, I looked at my schedule and I was like, what happened?

All of my top houses had dropped me.

Um, yeah.

So I was left with the houses that I just feel like I did not resonate with at all.

And so yeah.

And I thought, okay, I am going to drop out.

There's completely this time.

I don't think I could even see it.

It's really heartbreaking.

I think when something like that happens, because, oh, for sure,

I remember one of my like friends I met early on.

They got dropped from all of the houses that she wanted to be in.

And she was like devastated.

Yeah.

No, and you take it so personally too.

Yeah.

And it's just really sad.

And so, um, yeah, I, and the same thing actually happened to my best friend at the time.

So yeah, it was nice to at least have that to go through it together.

Wow.

Yeah.

But that next year, I just decided, okay, like, I think I need to actually prepare this time.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I tried to see, okay, what could it have been?

What were the differences?

What were the gaps?

And so, yeah, I noticed like one for sure was a very curated Instagram.

And yeah.

So I was like, okay, it's my best friend.

I'm like, we have to, we have to take pictures of all the fun that we have.

Because we are just, you know, hanging out all the time doing these fun things.

But I think we just weren't super big on it, I guess.

Yeah, for sure.

I mean, also like, I feel like if you're having fun with like your best friend,

like a lot of times you don't think to take a photo, but it's like, it's the mindset now.

I feel like, oh my gosh.

Yeah, it's like, I just say it's more than fun now.

I feel like it's all a personal brand, really, because it spills into all these other areas

of life.

And so I guess it, we're like, okay, we, we should do this for sure.

So yeah, then the next time you rushed, much more prepared, curated Instagrams.

And we both got into some more top houses.

So it was, yeah, like full circle moment.

It was great.

And I end up helping a bunch of my other family friends, my sister, my cousin.

Because I really empathize with, you know, girls going into this for the first time.

I mean, you know how it is just that 15 minutes you have.

I'm just scary, so scary.

Yeah, it's so scary.

And there's a billion girls talking over each other and, you know, you've been up since

5 a.m.

Literally, it's nuts.

And like you said to the rejection, like that feeling is crazy too.

And then you got to go in again, like going to meet me like, I don't, it's, it's crazy.

Like I have to do this multiple days in a row.

Yeah, yeah.

So that's why I just said, okay, I kind of want to start something with this, because

I see a pattern of this working with people.

Yeah.

And I love helping young girls, you know, that's awesome.

So tell me about the Keeney map that you made.

Oh my gosh.

Oh, it's so funny that you bring that up because I was just explaining to a client from

the University of Arizona that they go really hard with their bikini picks there.

Yeah.

I couldn't find a single actor that doesn't have like multiple and a mom was like, oh,

how many should she post such a funny question?

And I was like, could I come up with some kind of number for hers?

I was like, um, maybe every four pictures, like one, two, three bikini, one, three bikini.

That's so funny.

Yeah.

Kind of like look at the school that they're going to and then base it on there.

Right.

Exactly.

Yeah.

I just think that different regions, you know, there's a different level of appropriateness

like over and actually funny enough, um, actually went to San Diego State for my freshman

year.

Oh, okay.

Cool.

Yeah.

I know like these West Coast schools, you know, they don't really care about, like, encouraged

mostly.

And then over in this out there, much more traditional, classic and, yeah, I'd say family

friendly.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, when is the win?

Oh, when is the win?

I don't care what you're saying.

Yep.

That's me, Clifford Taylor, the fourth.

You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football

or my career in sports media.

Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined.

And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.

This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes, creators,

and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated.

One week, I'll take you behind the scenes of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment.

And the next we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose and even music.

The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast.

It's a space for honest conversations, stories that don't always get told and for people

who are chasing something bigger.

So if you've ever supported me or you're just chasing down a dream, this is right what

you need to be.

Listen to the Clifford Show on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get

your podcasts.

And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and a TikTok podcast network on TikTok.

In 2023, former bachelor star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center of a paternity

scandal.

The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story.

This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth.

You doctored this particular test twice in selling scratch.

I doctored the test ones.

It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case.

I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for.

Some likes the greatest disinfectant.

They would uncover a disturbing pattern.

Two more men who'd been through the same thing.

I break a lesbian, I go around chaining.

My mind was blown.

I'm Stephanie Young.

This is Love Trap.

Laura, Scottsdale Police.

As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences.

Ladies and gentlemen, breaking news at America, Papacanias, Laura Owens has been indicted

on fraud charges.

This isn't over until Justice has served in Arizona.

Listen to Love Trap podcast on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get

your podcasts.

There's two golden rules that any man should live by.

Rule one, never mess with a country girl.

You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes.

And rule two, never mess with her friends either.

We always say that.

Trust your girlfriends.

I'm Anasine Field and in this new season of The Girlfriends.

Oh my God, this is the same man.

A group of women discovered they've all dated the same prolific con artist.

I felt like I got hit by a truck.

I thought, how could this happen to me?

The cops didn't seem to care.

So they take matters into their own hands.

They said, oh, hell no.

I vowed I will be his last target.

He's going to get ready to serve.

Listen to The Girlfriends.

Trust me, babe.

On the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'll tell you, I'll tell you.

What's up, everyone?

I'm Ago Vodom.

My next guest, you know from Step Brothers, Anchorman, Saturday Night Live and the big money

players network.

It's Will Farrell.

My dad gave me the best advice ever.

I went and had lunch with him one day, and I was like, and dad, I think I want to really

give this a shot.

I don't know what that means, but I just know the ground links.

I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place they come look for up and coming

talent.

He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really

sweet.

Yeah.

He goes, but there's so much lock involved.

And he's like, just give it a shot.

He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and

it doesn't feel fine anymore, it's okay to quit.

If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration.

It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat just hang in there.

Yeah, it would not be right.

And it wouldn't be that.

There's a lot of luck.

Yeah.

Listen to ThinkStat on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.

What do you say about like guy friends and like boyfriends, like if a girl has like posted

a bunch of guys before she's going, what do you say about that?

Yeah.

And that's also funny because apparently that became really controversial.

And I've been trying to mitigate that from spreading on GuyTalk.

Yeah.

I'm like, oh my gosh.

This has gotten 56% male viewership.

I'm scared.

But no, it's just like, so I just think if somebody has like a ton of photos, I'm like,

photos of her and her boyfriend on there, maybe like a whole highlighter to dedicate it

to this.

I think it's obviously that's so great, like that you have such a loving relationship,

and you want to share that.

But I just think about the one unlucky person that you could end up getting brushed by.

And I had seen it myself back when I was rushing girls.

And so it's just something that I think is not talked about or mentioned at all.

Like I couldn't find this kind of stuff anywhere about the realities of rush.

Yeah.

And so that's why I'm trying to do that for girls because I also think that when I was

personally rushing girls, I don't think it gives off like the best perception if you

have hands and tons.

Yeah.

Like, oh, like is this girl really going to put us first sometimes first, we're just going

to be with the guys all the time.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And it's like the bonding really happens when you guys spending time with each other.

And so it's, yeah, not malicious at all.

And yeah, I hope that nobody takes it that way.

Yeah.

What do you think about also like political figures and like pop culture figures?

Do you think like unfollowing them before rush people should do that?

Or do you think they should keep them?

What's your thoughts on that?

Yeah.

Oh, I always just say to unfollow any of them just because again, like there's all types

of political views with all these girls.

It's like, I know that, you know, every house has their reputation and everything.

Yeah.

But no, I mean, being in one, you know, there's all different types of people in each

sorority.

And so I just think that is something that would help them because my whole job is to just

increase their chances as much as possible.

And like, so I just think that they should keep that out of friendships anyways too.

Yeah.

For sure.

I agree.

That makes sense.

And what about like having family pictures or having too many solo pictures?

How do you tell people to like, oh my goodness.

That all in.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Because it's funny.

A lot of girls will send me screenshots or just send me their Instagrams.

And I do find, yeah, sometimes it's it's all selfies and stuff, but that's just not giving

a full picture.

Yeah.

Or I think it's like, okay.

Yeah.

You're super pretty.

Well, like, is there anything else to you?

Right.

And we see that.

Because after their conversations, the recruiters, they all go and behind and start

spoiling through, you know, just because curious, what you're like outside of rush because

as we said, you only get to know them for so much time and yeah, it happens pretty quick.

I'm curious because you mentioned that like the mom was asking you like what the girl should

be posted when you're helping these girls and like probably not for recruitment or a lot

of the moms in like very involved.

Yes.

They're very involved and it's really sweet and I try to work with them both because, you

know, sometimes I'm like, okay, let's make sure that your daughter actually wants to do

this too.

Yeah.

She's not just being that you just don't want her to do it.

Yeah, exactly, exactly.

But yeah, they definitely are involved and surprisingly, actually, I have found that it

hasn't been the Southern moms, actually.

Yeah.

Oh, that's so interesting.

And then what do you think about like the following to follower ratio, have you seen like

does that matter?

Yeah.

Yeah, actually, I had to go over this with somebody recently, but I just think it may

give off the impression like we had, we made our account way, way long time ago and maybe

we were a bit younger, we were following like every cute dog post that we saw or something.

Again, it's just all about it being a personal brand and so that is something that I tell

them, okay, maybe we can just unfollow those spam accounts just as some other kind of step

to take.

Yeah.

Do you ever have like a client that comes and they don't have a social media.

They have never really been into social media and like do you think it's definitely like

important for them to have an Instagram then, right?

Yeah.

So 100%.

Oh my gosh, it's more to do than just the girls checking after conversations, but also

beforehand.

Yeah.

And I had a couple girls who just don't really understand that.

And so I have to explain to them.

And sometimes it takes some convincing, actually, I just like do it.

Yeah.

It's like I get it.

Like some people just, but whether that's their parents didn't allow them to have that,

I actually got an email one time from a dad who was so concerned that he may have ruined

her chances because he didn't let her get an Instagram.

I was like, no, no, no, you're fine.

You used to have all summer like, but it does help.

And you can even help with dirty rushing, which is something that I encourage the girls

to do.

Not be the ones to necessarily do the reaching out, actually tell them to do that.

But to receive messages and to just get on their radar, because in the day, a lot of

these girls have the leg up, whether that's them having already been friends with a ton

of the girls since they were kids and maybe they know each other from growing up.

Or if they were involved in a club and they got that extra time, you know, to network.

For sure.

If you could give a girl going through recruitment or like about to go through recruitment,

like one piece of advice when it comes to social media, what would you say?

Yeah, I think I would just say take the summer to have the best time ever and to capture

everything and like anything that you can, that's going to show off your hobbies, show off

what you like to do, show off your friends and your outfits, because they all like to do

the same things like shopping and tanning and mage and pilates, but also you want to show

that you're unique.

And so I always say, yeah, you want to make it so that it's relatable to these girls.

And so it's like, okay, she looks like she can, you know, hang with us and she'll get

along with these people because they have common interests, but also to stand out.

And I guess even going a little further into that, I tell girls if you have some really

cool special hobby or if you just like, let's say pasta, like go ahead and start a TikTok

page for that or something, just show off your interests and it's going to help you a

lot to stand out.

I love that.

Okay.

And let us know where can everyone find you if they want to get advice you or want to

work with you.

Yeah.

It's just at BitBible on TikTok and Instagram, but that's where you'll find all of my

no BS rush tips.

I love that.

Well, thank you so much for coming on Abby.

Yeah.

No, thank you so much for inviting me.

Of course, it was great to meet you.

You too.

Okay.

Okay.

Well, that was fun talking to Abby.

I'm always so interested to hear what these rush coaches do when they're outlook on

it because I've talked some really, really intense ones.

I really liked how Abby seemed to be more chill about it and just wants to kind of help

the girls.

It's also crazy though how intense social media has gotten how that can play such a big

aspect of you getting into a sorority, but then at the end of the day, I guess you only

have like five to 15 minutes probably to talk to a girl.

So I mean, I even think about it like if you meet a girl like somewhere like at the gym

or like if you meet a new friend at the bar or whatever, like the first thing I do is

go and look them up on social media.

It's just such a thing in like the era of life we are right now.

But yeah, you can check out Abby's stuff and thank you guys for tuning in to Dirty Brush.

Oh, when is the win?

Oh, when is the win?

I don't care which I'll say.

Yep.

That's me.
