If rush does not work out, I suggest you look into these spirit groups, because they are a very good alternative if you are looking for all the aspects of a sorority. Good luck!

I just gave this advice to another PNM sophomore rushing at Texas. These are great groups too!

You shouldn't listen to tiers and which sororities are considered top tier, middle tier, or bottom tier and go into recruitment with an open mind.

Yep, sadly this still exists. What's funny, is I was always told the "Big 6" were the first 6 sororities on campus, but who knows. Over time, some chapters have grown bigger than other chapters, etc. It is what it is.
What's interesting to me is that there would be any Sophomore or Junior at Texas who hasn't been exposed to at least ONE girl in a class that was a member of a chapter (any sorority), unless you're a transfer. I mean, your friends CAN help you, but you can't bank on them. Now, I've also seen it, especially with sophomores, where the friend is doing everything she can to pull the girl through, but ultimately, it comes down to quota and the good of the house.
