While Austin does have the rep of a cool city with tons of live music, etc., the "Big 6" mentality has done a lot to cripple the system.

That's unsurprising. My very-anti-Greek cousin who went there knew exactly who the Big 6 were in spite of himself.

I was also surprised at how ugly the houses were, on the whole. None of the stately mansions you see at other SEC schools.

Actually most of the sorority houses are very beautiful and have Southern style architecture. They are somewhat small though. Most only house around 50-60 girls compared to other schools that have a competitive greek system. Because the houses are smaller, the competition to "live in" can be fierce.
