UTK Sorority Recruitment
I am currently an upcoming freshman and am planning to rush this fall at The Univesity of Tennessee Knoxville. I was wondering how competitive it is there, any tips for rush and about the sororities. Thanks!!

It's an SEC school so it is competitive and you need recs.

Yes it's competitive
I know there are several groups who don't pledge anyone who has a g.p.a. under 3.0

ASK EVERYONE. Family friends, relatives, teachers, people at church/synagogue, anyone who was ever anywhere near a college. Also, ask the 1 person you do know for help finding recs for other sororities. They won't be offended.

Unless you are a member of that chapter of that group, you really can't comment on membership selection procedures and who will or will not receive a bid.

Talk to any female college graduates you know and ask them if they are members of sororities or know women who are -- your teachers, church members, workplace contacts, parents' friends, relatives, etc.

I guess I should say - you really can't comment and actually know what the hell you are talking about.

You knoweth not that you knoweth not.
I don't comment (unlike many others) on every thread. I only speak with such specificity when I do know the actual school and are in touch with the current requirements for several groups.

utgirl94, I hope you have a terrific experience with recruitment for UT. You'll receive lots of opinions on here -- take them all with a grain of salt.

I speak as a sorority alumna who actually attended Tennessee and participated in rush there. It is very competitive. Get your recs; a minimum of one for each sorority. Start talking to everyone you know. Practice your conversation skills.
As far as membership selection goes regarding GPA or any other criteria, that information is confidential. Worrying about your GPA now is pretty much like closing the barn door after the horse has been let out. Present yourself as best you can, keep a positive mindset, be open to every sorority on campus (there truly are no bad sororities there) and you will more than likely be successful.
I'm so jealous of you getting to go through now that sororities have houses. The panhellenic building has always been quite a sight on bid day, but the houses are going to all be so nice.
Please keep us on how things go for you. Go Vols! Hope the football season this year is better than it has been recently.

I'm sure they would appreciate a NONMEMBER blabbing all around the internet that their MS requirements are open to whoever is nosy enough. Stay classy.

I don't know why the OP would be interested in any other group's membership selection requirements. Everyone here knows that Chi Omega is the only sorority that matters anywhere.
