My out of state daughter successfully pledged a sorority at UT last year - this is her first year on the other side. As far as the PNM's knowing the ropes, my daughter learned about the dance party and other shenanigans within the first hour of talking to local Texas girls. So, they know what is coming. She didn't think it was rude, just silly - not the experience she was looking for. As mentioned upthread a few sororities are focused on ~200 girls from their HS, camp, church, whatever, and could fill a pledge class twice as big with those girls. Those sororities also rarely wear their letters around campus (because, try-hard), and in general keep to themselves or select few others. Not bad, just a different experience.

So, for future PNM's that read this, get those recs in, and work to make connections with girls in a few houses ahead of time (contact friends of friends, etc.). My daughter is having the time of her life!

Do you mind me asking where your daughter pledged?
