Without revealing her identity, I can tell you that she did attend one of the camps in Texas during her junior high years as well as Camp Ozark during that time. After that, we tried to "diversify," but I don't think that matters! Regardless, we did not list any of the camps on her resume.
Also, we are also not from one of the communities that generally feeds into UT, and I am referring to Houston, Autstin, DFW area, and San Antonio. I don't want to say whether Malone is an out of state student or from one of the smaller cities in Texas. It is enough, though, to say that she does not have an affiliation with Waldemar, Camp Mystic, Camp Longhorn, or other similar camps.

I was just curious. I don't live in TX, but my in laws do and my daughter attended Camp Mystic and my son is a Camp Stewart guy. I know that there are so many girls at Mystic with sorority affiliations at UT. Especially nice if you are one of their M Girls- at least that is what they tell me.
I will also share with you that one of my Niece's BF's went to UT (a CA girl) and actually pledged AXO there. She was really unfamiliar with the whole process and I had to really push her to get recs.
Wishing your daughter tons of luck. I hope it is a great experience for her.
