As the 2022 sorority rush took over TikTok this year, one University of Alabama student quickly became a crowd favorite among social media users.

"Rushtok" as it is popularly referred to on the app, shows the journey young students take, typically women, to join Panhellenic groups at American universities.

They love to make short videos showing their elaborate daily outfits and giving updates on their sorority choices.

Kylan Darnell, who attends the popular college in Tuscaloosa, AL came to the forefront of the annual TikTok trend with her stylish outfits and her "Disney-princess-like" demeanor that people comment admiration for.

Her TikToks have been viewed by millions of people, and the comment sections are filled with love. "I just love that I found your page, always make my days great 🄰🄰🄰", wrote an admirer on an OOTD clip, while another commented "I do believe you will be president of the United States one day".

The Internet world has gotten to know Darnell's life as a college student and new member of the University's Zeta Tau Alpha chapter, but here are some other facts you might not know about the platform users' favorite sorority girl.
