I won't deny that UT isn't full of elite students, but some of them allow their orange colored glasses to cloud the fact that some of us COULD have gone there but chose not to do so.

And he married a TCU girl!

@aoptx.
I understand.

It's a matter of supply and demand. UT remains very popular and selective without having to give much financial aid or scholarship.

The schools where the majority of girls would want to go Greek — Highland Park, Westlake, Memorial, Alamo Heights, Southlake Carroll, etc., are also BY FAR the most competitive schools in the state. We once had a nanny from Southlake who had a 93 average and wasn't even in the top half of her class. Believe me, no one needs to pity the girls from those schools. They could be absolute superstars and not get into UT. By the way, my sorority sisters who went to those schools were far better prepared than I was at UT. Our freshman year was just a review of their senior year.
