In this episode of the Mad Rush podcast, Trisha Addicks, the original sorority rush consultant, converses with Josie Stoffan, a junior at the University of Michigan and a college influencer. Josie opens up about the confidence required to be an influencer, especially in a college environment where everyone knows each other. Despite facing both admirers and critics, Josie remains passionate about sharing her real-life college experiences, including why she decided Greek life wasn't for her after initially joining a sorority to make friends. The discussion covers imposter syndrome, academic pressure, and the challenges and rewards of being a college influencer. Josie also provides valuable advice for freshmen and the importance of finding one's path, whether it involves Greek life or not.
