I mean, how can you have a UT thread and not have the Tennessee Titans as one of the teams? haha. Good luck to your cousin! I've got one of my rec. girls going through this week with 6 of her friends. She's doing good so far and was invited back to all but 2!

Well the Titans are my favorite and I almost named my sorority the Titans but was afraid that might give it away!!

Good luck to your rec girl and her friends!!

Because that'd be making one sorority an obvious favorite.

Round Two is over!

Seahawks: She got a better impression of this sorority in this round and thought they were a really fun and cool group of girls. She likes them better than she did before, but they don't stand out as a top favorite at this time.

Jaguars: Another great impression during this round. They seemed like a really sweet group of girls who were genuine and close to each other. She thinks she felt more of a connection than she did during Round One.

Patriots: Still a favorite. She felt like these were quality, sweet girls. She enjoyed her time in here more than last time and clicked with her "rusher" better than the one she met before.

Giants: Current top favorite. She felt really at home here and very "wanted" by the girls she met.

Cowboys: She didn't have as good of a feeling as she had about this group in the first round. She likes that they are very involved with philanthropy, but she didn't feel like she really fit here.

Panthers: All she could say was heck no.

Packers: Same as Panthers.

So the she would be happy accepting a bid from any of the first five, but her top three right now are the Jaguars, Patriots and Giants. She has her invitation and response in the morning and she can have a max of six more parties. If she gets invited back to all of them, she will drop the Packers. Poor Brett Favre. lol

As for her friends...
My rec girl's favorites right now are the Seahawks, Patriots and Colts.
Her other friend's favorites are the Giants, Patriots, Steelers and Rams.

Yes, cousin said it was very hot today. Still sending those prayers for some cooler weather! I love your pictures!

Aren't all of the parties in air-conditioned suites in the Panhellenic building?

Yeah, but...how good does an air-conditioner work with 100 degree temp outside and 200+ in each suite?

Recruitment at UT is very competitive. If your cousin really wants the sorority experience, I suggest she try to look at the Packers and the Panthers with new eyes. She'll be closest with the members of her pledge class, so she should look around the room at the other potential new members, not just at the actives.

I agree. Recruitment at UT is very competitive, and has become more so as the University itself has become more competitive over the past few years. I know of several great girls- multi page resumes, 4.0 plus gpa, beautiful, and wonderful who have been very heavily cut. Because of the release figures they are using some of the chapters have had to cut enormous numbers of girls. It has been a very hard week for both PNMs and actives. A lot of girls do not have full schedules left and they are very nervous about being cut before preference. However, there are no weak chapters at UT. Tell your cousin to look hard at the 2 she has left- she would probably be very happy in either one.

Feel free to use the word "difficult" or "hard" instead of multi-syllabic words like "competitive!"
