I don't normally comment, but I noticed there is some misinformation on here regarding admissions. There are two guaranteed admission methods: auto admits ( top 10% rank, TX resident) and academic admit (top 25%, 1300 SAT/ 30 ACT (with score min.), any residency category).
Currently, roughly 70% of admissions are guaranteed admissions, 30% are review admits. Review admits are evaluated on everything (rank,scores, essays, recs, EC, etc). They are primarily offered: full admission, gateway (summer at A&M probationary to full admission), PSA ( a year at another A&M location then transfer), Blinn Team ( co-enroll A&M and Blinn CC, then transfer) or rejection. There is also a feeder program for certain majors at participating CCs (PTA). All the alternate programs include an academic requirement be met for the transfer to occur.
Regarding the sororities wanting BT members to participate - maybe at the leadership of Panhellenic, but it is not a grass roots campaign by the members themselves. Most were annoyed by the prospect, these students were not able to attain full time status for admissions & they still have to academically qualify, so it makes no sense to them. If they are looking to grow Greek Life, they should put more emphasis on recruitment at NSC (new student conferences) and inspire more full time students to consider joining. The university sponsored club fair is a few weeks after sorority recruitment ends freshman year, so many do not consider joining when they have to wait a full year or try for a few spring bids.
