It's kinda silly for everyone to hop on here and tell a rising senior "just worry about senior year" when we all know that a lot of recruitment networking at a school like UT happens WELL before that.

OP, you have to get into Texas first. Wait until you've done that. Once you have, do you really know NOONE who goes there? Not even like guys from your high school that you sorta know but not really well?

If you find someone like that, and he is in a fraternity, it is okay to send an email in the spring telling him that you've been accepted to UT, you are interested in fraternity life but don't know a ton of people in it, and if he has some time, you'd love to chat with him about his experiences. If he/his chapter are interested in you, they will take the hint from there.

This has been answered already. You answered it yourself, in fact, in your first post.

Are you out of state, or from a tiny town, or what?

I don't know, obviously, but it could be the kind of "high school kids are not supposed to go to Roundup" like most college freshman are "not supposed to drink beer".

I'm interested in the answer to your question, since the OP seems to know just enough to be dangerous to his own rush.

This is pretty much right on...

Here's a whole thread on Roundup at UT..although I will say that it's different for girls going through sorority recruitment..

Found this pretty easily via the internet.

Sounds like they are/were serious about no high school students.

Here's the deal. Yes, you can go to round up and plenty of HS Seniors do. In order to get a wristband, you have to show a college ID, I won't discuss how, but people get around this all the time. IF you go, and I am stressing the word IF, behave. IMO, roundup can do more harm than good, with only one behavioral mistake. So tread wisely and go only if you feel you are in complete control of your own behavior. And good luck.

***Disclaimer...this is an answer FOR A GUY. If you are a high school girl...I would not step foot in the city limits of Austin on that weekend. It never seems to end well. :roll eyes:

Here is a clip from Round UP 2012...watch carefully...can you control yourself in this type of situation?....Yes, this is just one house, but every event of that weekend is similar...heck his is probably somewhat mild in comparisons to others.

Yes they do.

Go to round up.
