I am just going to be completely honest with you because I have seen sooo many girls end up regretting not participating in greek life in situations like yours. I am going to assume that you had recs for all the sororities. As a a sophomore, you have a really slim chance of receiving a bid to a sorority at UT. As time goes on, your chances are only going to get slimmer. This really may be your prime chance. Now I hate to say this because this is what no PNM wants to hear, but oftentimes in circumstances like yours "I don't see myself fitting in with this group" translates to "they are awkward" which translates to "they are lower tier". These are probably the same groups that are going to be participating in COB, or taking upperclassmen. Plleeeeasse do not get sucked in to the "tier" mentality. At this point, you really have no chance of ever getting into a "big 6" sorority. Just being completely honest. It's not going to happen. All of the sororities at UT are HUGE, and very strong. I am sure that you can connect with many girls in the house, even if they are not the ones rushing you or if their personalities don't come across right away. If you are seriously interested in greek life, I strongly urge you to stick with this chapter, HOPE that you have the opportunity to accept a bid from them, try out their new member period and see how it goes for you. Also, during your new member period don't just sit there and expect things to come. You really have to TRY and make it work for you, get involved, get to know the girls! I really do wish you luck and I know it is easier for me to say where I am sitting than from where you are, but this could be a great opportunity for you ( and may be your only one). If not, there are other great opportunities for you to get involved on campus. Texas spirits, sweethearts, etc. are all great orgs to look into. I'm sorry if my tone came off as harsh, I really do wish you the best of luck and hope you end up happy! Maybe it would be helpful if you gave some background information? Did you rush as a freshman? Are you a transfer?
