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.

Although they are very old chapters, the Big Six has nothing to do with when they were established. It's got everything to do with with perceived status on the campus. It's always been that way and probably always will be. It has nothing to do with numbers either. With rfm, some of the non-big six chapters have gotten larger, because they are the ones who are left with larger pnm pools and also end up with quota additions. In some cases, smaller means more selective. It is what it is.
