Daughter just pledged Theta at UT. Although she was a legacy, she felt the most important thing during the intense UT rush was to "click" with a member. That member then "talks up" the PNM with juniors and seniors. Daughter is thrilled to be a Theta-one of the "Big 6" on the UT campus. Mom is glad it's over!

Not sure how I feel about that comment.

Thetamom,
You may want to edit the phrase regarding the Big 6

How horrifying if she had ended up as one of the "Small 7", "Eensy 8" or "Nothing 9s". Sounds like she had her game plan all worked out.

I hate to say this, and I really don't agree with ranking groups and all that, but Big 6 is kind of a fact of life at Texas - particularly to those from certain communities or with a history of Greek Life in their families. I am sure this mom didn't even realize that people might object to that. I know it's not how we roll on GC, but to people caught up in a GLO system like Texas's... it just is.
That said, there are some AMAZING not-Big 6 groups at Texas. You can't really go wrong.

6 is almost HALF of all the sororities at Texas... so they can't really be THAT elite or whatever.

I am kind of surprised such a status-oriented mom was so charitable in calling her rankings the "big six." Usually people that hung up on the tiers make sure to let you know they're in the "big three."

Yep.
UT rush is in a league by itself. It's almost pre-ordained where a girl will end up, especially if the Dallas and Houston alums have a hand in it. Or should I say the Park Cities alums. Lived in Dallas for 20 years and after a while you just have to laugh. There are some legacies who will go to an out of state school where the chapter that is their legacy is not especially strong, get pledged, initiated, and then transfer back to Texas - or SMU. I've seen it happen.

It happens when girls come to Arkansas.

Well, my guess is that it's probably just because the bid wasn't from of the "big three." But of course I don't know that.

So what? The other chapters are not "worthy" of your daughter?
