Others have said it already texaslonghorn03, but let me please emphasize that it is in your best interests to stay at UT Austin and graduate with UT Austin on your resume.

This job market we are in right now is unlike anything I have ever seen, and it is unlikely (hopefully) that it will be repeated in my lifetime. Graduating from UT with a degree aimed at a solid career (meaning don't major in psychology unless you want to be a psychologist) is not a guarantee you will get a job- for the next few years it means you are less likely to have to wait a year or two to find a good job that will get you on your way to a solid career.

Even in a strong economic time, my advice would be the same as Lady Longhorn's- you have lots of options socially at UT and the networking plus the fact you were there will be of aid to you as long as you live in Texas.

But right now, it is all the more important to stay put. Graduating from UT you will have many social and networking opportunities, and you will have an edge in the job market. Transferring to a school with an easier Greek system means you take a pretty big step down academics-wise since pretty much all of the good Texas schools that have Greek systems happen to have competitive Greek systems, plus rushing as a transfer and upperclassman your options in rush go down dramatically. It is too big a risk for what you would have to give up.
