He will probably go to UT Arlington. They have a Greek system there but I don't think it's as strong as UT's.

If he pledges a fraternity at UTA, can he transfer to the same fraternity when he comes to UT Austin, or would he have to go through rush and pledging all over again? I know that UTA has a lot of chapters that aren't as strong as those at UT, would the UT chapters accept him if he was from the same national at UTA?
It depends on the organization. For sororities you can join the chapter at a different school, but some have to approve you first. Though if you're initiated you DON'T re-do pledging.

I say don't worry about it. If he KNOWS he's going to transfer in a year he might just want to wait and choose a chapter at his permanent school. Every chapter is different.
