Imagine going to college to hone your skills as a #TikTok influencer?
From @theathletic.com: No college campus has mastered going viral quite like Alabama. When LSU parades into town this Saturday, sorority row will have been in motion for a week — outfits curated, salon appointments booked and social media primed for the show.
When sorority influencers meet Alabama football, game days turn into a campus-wide catwalk
The outfits are grand and unapologetically bougie. For some women, this is the stage to cash in on the influencer cachet sweeping campuses.
