ditto to this!

Actually I have a masters degree from there and was advisor for a chapter there for several years.

I'm not claiming to be any great authority on the place. But, what am I wrong about?

Does the Corps not still pretty much run that school just like the last hundred years? Do sororities not do lots of events with them or other groups, versus fraternities?

Are there 20 fraternities there over 100 members with giant legitimate houses where most sorority girls spend 3-4 days of every week at parties? Or is social life focused elsewhere, maybe 1-2 fraternities are over 100, 20 others mostly under 70, most are tiny. The total number of people in fraternities is lower than TxState; barely bigger than SFA, Sam, UNT, UTA, etc; less than half the size of Tech; and, dwarfed by Texas... while Sororities have about 250% more members than the guys, large chapters, solid houses, and a whole lot don't think fraternity guys are exactly the best people on campus.

I mean hey, maybe I'm out of touch and completely wrong. Just providing an observation. I would expect people that know the campus to provide their observations as well and maybe the girl can figure out what's going on.

BTW, not all podunk chapters have 12 members. My chapter had up to 120 members when I was in school. I know tier 1 chapters that aren't as big. I love GC train wrecks!

The fact is, saying that any Greek chapter sucks (whether they're at OMG BEST SCHOOL EVER!! or at Podunk U.), even if it's just a general statement/comparison/simile/whatever, is going to piss off some people.

Just don't do it.

The very fact that you refer to THE University of Texas as "UTA" shows your lack of understanding. I really hate being put into the position of defending Aggies, but the situation there is far less grim than you describe.

Please confine your sorority recruitment advice to your own lane at your podunk school in Oklahoma.

OR...he could be talking about THE University of Texas at Arlington.

So sorry. I don't spend every waking moment of every day reading posts here like some, so I suppose my reading comprehension skills are lacking at times.

The point is he still isn't the great Greek oracle of Texas schools and he should stick to his little corner of his own lane.

You're right. Why read threads that you post in?

...said the Longhorn in an Aggie thread?

Oh I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm a NPC SORORITY member who has significant ties to women in Aggie chapters and knows a great deal about them and their recruitment from personal experience? And your excuse for being here is?

Seriously? You pulled that card? After being explicitly proven wrong you couldn't just say "Oops my bad, I was wrong" but went for THAT instead?

Oops. My bad. So sorry I hit a nerve.
