Sydney, a social media influencer with 910.5K followers on TikTok and 602K on Instagram, was more popular than other girls in Alpha Phi.
She was targeted on her back, with older girls slamming her as a liability to their sorority’s reputation. She was uncompromising and didn’t want a girl only a couple of years older telling her what to do.
However, the sisterhood had a strict rule against going to bars and standing on elevated surfaces. The president didn’t like what she was doing and sent her a termination email.
Sydney believed she was the only one terminated, while other girls who had broken the same rules got away with a warning.
