That said, there are some AMAZING not-Big 6 groups at Texas. You can't really go wrong.

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.

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.
