I have looked at all of their websites, but really cannot garner much about the groups. Are any of you UT graduates that can give me some insight into what her rush experience will be like?

She is a 4.0 from a private prep school in Nashville, 31 ACT, varsity athletics, leadership in school, etc... Will she just be another number at UT?

Thanks for any insight. Just trying to prepare myself on how to support her through the process.

You have gotten some good advice on this forum. The only thing I wanted to add was that it appears that the first round of parties are short rounds 15 minutes. Unfortunately, this means first impressions will go a LONG way. The ones going through recruitment that really get noticed this day are the ones who "light up a room" when they walk in. The girls who are shy have a much harder time.

Good luck to your daughter and you should also keep an open mind. Hopefully, she will have a perfect recruitment, but keep in mind that I have seen a lot of really great girls get released through the process. You just never know and there are no guarantees.
