Just a little firsthand info about Tennessee since i felt a little insulted by the "nontraditional SEC" comment. I have one daughter there (and another in high school who will apply). My daughter had NUMEROUS friends who did not get in and ended up going to Alabama or Ole Miss. These were both back up schools for my daughter also. I was actually quite surprised when the guidance counselor shared the stats with me. Apparently Tennessee has gotten very competitive since the HOPE scholarship. I am not putting down these other great schools, but it irks me a little that people have an incorrect perception of Tennessee!
Obviously the sorority house are only now in the process of being built (they did break ground!), but the greek system there is very traditional and very competitive. There were over 900 girls signed up for recruitment this year.
Just my two cents! I attended another SEC school too many years ago to count. I can also tell you that my daughter's recruitment experience was every bit as stressful as I remember mine being.
I've enjoyed reading these threads as I've had several rec girls, especially last year and this year...and I expect next year too!!
