UT Austin and Out of State Recruitment

[Just interested]

There is a post every year about about UT recruitment. It's like a right of Spring. And, every year, nothing changes. In the last few years Greek life has been growing, but at UT, there has been no growth among Panhellenic groups. It is a sad statement but true that the newest group on campus was the recolonization of Kappa Delta over 35 years ago. Part of me thinks that there are chapters on campus that like it that way. It's a bubble for them to feel secure with girls they have known all their life on a campus with over 40,000 undergraduates. Only 14% of the campus are Greek. FYI, Slang, you need to listen to Lady Longhorn. And also for your information there are a LOT of Greek systems older than the University of Texas and people in Texas with the "old" money don't talk about it. It is not polite conversation. OP, for girls who want the Greek experience there is a home at the University of Texas. Keep an open mind, get your references and be yourself.

Did you read the thread? The only one initiating talk of old money was Phil Tau. UT Greek life a bubble? We say over and over we have lots of OOS students. For the record, UT is definitely one of the older Greek systems in the country, with many single-letter chapters. And I’m listening to LL regarding my own Greek system for....??

OP, yes, we're up over here! Got your pm. Responding now.

uh, no. You're mistaken. Or, to use your very own words, "wrong wrong wrong".

What is your chapter, SLang? And if you don't know why you should be listening to LL, that speaks volumes.
