I have already learned a lot and made many connections in this MAD RUSH podcast journey. Today is no exception, and I am excited to talk with my guest, Mary Corder Harrell, about some of the crazier rush stories we've heard. Thank you so much for being with us today. The people have asked, and we are delivering because TODAY IS CRAZY STORIES DAY! Mary Corder is a native Atlantan and a successful real estate agent (broker?) with SothSotheSotheby'sAtlanta. I am so impressed with her work ethic and tenacity, and I imagine these traits extend to her real estate career as well.

The theme of this podcast is quickly becoming clear to me. It is connections—connections in college and beyond, and today is no exception. I met my guests today through-you guessed it-Instagram-and you are in for a treat! We are diving deep into OLE MISS RUSH 2024 with a recap and insights.  Amanda Tatom is a former tv news anchor turned social media influencer and newly experienced rush mom Moira James is not new to Greek Life. She graduated from a women’s college and is a boy mom who saw the need to help young women through the rush/recruitment process. Although she has a very high-powered career, she has given her free time and helped many girls navigate rush at several schools, so she knows the ins and outs.

Angela King is a mother from Atlanta, Georgia, who is using her tragedy to help others. Just eight months ago, her son, Jack O’Kelley, died from taking a pill that he probably thought was just Xanax. It was laced with Fentanyl. She is channeling her grief to help educate others about the genuine dangers of Fentanyl. Fentanyl is here in our world. This drug is not just in the dark alleys of the seedy parts of cities. It is in every town, on every college campus, at sporting events and concerts. It is everywhere. She wants to educate us about how to communicate with our kids about this present danger and how to obtain lifesaving drugs readily available. Her mission is vitally important, and on this episode of MAD RUSH, she and Trisha talk about how you can start saving lives, maybe on your own.  Additional resources mentioned in today's episode: • SAMHSA's National Helpline https://www.samhsa.gov › find-help › national-helpline • Georgia Harm Reduction https://georgiaharmreduction.org/ • Kloxxado KLOXXADO® (naloxone HCl) Nasal Spray Follow Trisha on Instagram: https://instagram.com/@rushwithconfidence Learn more about Trisha's company at: https://itsallgreektome.org Have questions or comments? Send us an email: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
