The rest of the stages are Philanthropy Days, where recruits partake in charity work; Sisterhood Days, where they learn about each sorority’s culture; Preference Night, where they return to the two organizations they feel most connected to; and finally, Bid Day, when they are invited to join a specific sorority.
The popularity of the trend caused the videos to go viral in foreign countries as well, particularly among users in Latin America, who reminisced about classic high school and university movies

As more and more videos of the trend went viral on social media, an interesting phenomenon occurred. Users, particularly girls, from other countries were captivated by the idyllic university life shown in those dancing numbers, with many wishing they could be part of the experience.
“This is the dream of every girl from Latin America!” wrote one user below one of Alabama Alpha Phi’s performances.
“They live in a movie. I love this!” said another. “I want to play the bad girl!”

Some viewers compared the dancing numbers to famous productions from the early 2000s, like High School Musical and the American Pie series.
“I can’t believe it. The movies were true all along!” one Latin American viewer said.
“Thank you, algorithm, but this is not available in Latam,” joked another.
Others left more bittersweet comments, lamenting that they weren’t able to experience being a member of a sorority while celebrating the wholesome spirit the girls showcased in their performances.
