This video is a remix of a cult video and sorority recruitment videos. By combining these two sources, this video makes a statement about how sororities are eerily similar to cults. It uses repetition and alternates between clips from both of the sources. It quickly flashes back and forth between the two sources. One of these sources, the cult video, is much older than the clips from sorority recruitments. This dissonance makes the video a little creepy and the intended audience from both sources are very different. With the said, both videos used in this remix are used for the same purpose- to recruit people. I don’t know anything about the cult video used in this; it could be to make people aware of the issue of cults or it could be used to recruit people to join cults- my guess is the former.

The most affective part of this video in describing sororities to cults, in my opinion, is the end of the video, where girls from different groups are in a doorway cheering and the person who made this remix sped up and slowed down these clips. This technique is used throughout in this remix, the author uses lots of speeding up and slowing down, as well as repetition.  This adds to the creepy, cult-like feeling in this video. I think that overall, the editing of this video is pretty good and fulfills its purpose.

Responses to this video are very different. Some people think it’s funny, some people think its accurate, and some people think its offensive (mostly sorority girls). It’s received a lot of backlash from sorority girls, which I think is hilarious. Personally, I’m in a sorority and I think this video is really funny and a lot of the points that are brought up, though they are exaggerated, have truth to them. This remix is obviously extreme, but it does bring up a good point and kind of makes me not want to be in a sorority I think shows this is a good use of remixing due to its persuasive powers.
