Hi everyone, I'm Katie!
I transferred to UT Austin last year and I'm hoping to rush this fall. I rushed in fall 2014 but didn't make it because I had no idea how competitive it is and wasn't prepared. I'm supposed to be a senior in the fall, but transferring in was difficult and I've fallen behind on my classes. So I guess I'll be a junior in fall 2015? I've read that you should classify yourself by year and not necessarily by credit, what are your thoughts on this?
I'm nervous because I'll be an upperclassman rushing and I have very little connections to any girls in a sorority. I've tried to meet people in greek life but just haven't met people I've gotten to know well. I know maybe 2 girls I went to high school with who are in a sorority, but I don't think it will help much. Most of my family didn't go to college so they don't know anyone that could help me. I'll try to get recommendation letters, but do you think that's enough?
Also, how important is GPA? I've been involved in a couple different organizations here on campus as well. I'm currently an officer in one, and did some volunteering for Habitat for Humanity last spring.
Thanks for reading if anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated!
