Actually, it's more like you have to have a rec AT Texas. That is The University of Texas. A more competitive recruitement does not exist on this planet, I don't think...this may just be a rumor, but my SIL's mom was a sorority girl at UT in the 60's (in Farrah Fawcett's pledge class), and they actually had "rush training" to teach the rushees how to act/not to act, and at one time-rushees had to wear the same clothes (color & style) for each round.
Most other Texas schools like rec's, but they are not required to rush (although I understand some org's do require them)...they are definitely better to have, though.
You won't find that atmosphere at ECU, thank goodness. Of course, if there are any longhorns on GC-it would be great to hear an update on their recruitment--whether it's as tough as it once was...I know I probably never would have gotten a bid had I gone there as planned (I knew NO ONE in the Greek world before college).
