I'm at A&M and I'll be rushing as a sophomore and I've been looking into how many sophomores made the pledge classes and it's roughly about 8 - 12 out of about 44-50 for each sorority. I imagine it'll be about the same for UT. Good luck next fall! We're in the same boat

As previous posters have said - A&M rush is NOTHING like UT rush. You looked at the websites and saw a number of sophomore pledges at A&M, that is because rush there is MUCH less competitive than at Texas. A&M's greek system is fairly new (relatively speaking), the environment there is completely different than UT. The increased popularity of the greek system at A&M is very much a function of the fact that many more "greek types" are going to A&M now.
While this girl may find a place in a house at UT, it will be harder and she will need to have her ducks in a major row in order to stand out among the hordes of freshmen who are rushing.
Have outstanding recs, have a killer resume, have great photos, etc.
MAKE GOOD FRIENDS in the houses! You will need people to pull for you!!!
