Alphafrog, was it necessary to start an argument?

On that note.. Marchmeg, you are a disgusting person for trying to use a tragedy as a personal attack. What the hell is wrong with you? The Daily Texan is extremely liberal and biased against the Greek community. There are thousands of UT students who dislike the Greek community for whatever their reasons and the paper reflects that.

Calilonghorn, if you are starting school in the fall, try to move down here sometime during the summer so you can meet other girls who are rushing and get something of an idea of what you like.

Just callin' 'em like I see 'em.

I know everyone in the south is all obsessed with tiers and being in the BEST sorority/fraternity on old row. But there is more to Greeklife than being top tier. I know it may not seem like it to an 18 year old freshman, or even an undergrad.

She asked for advice about rush - so how's about instead of suggesting where she should pledge (which she is capable of figuring out on her own once on campus) we help her be able to pledge the house of her choice by equipping her with knowledge that will help at UT? Any UT actives out there who can walk her through recruitment?
My general suggestion (obviously I'm not a longhorn, although I did marry one!) is to check with UT Panhellenic about what to wear -sometimes Alumna Panhellenics have fashion shows sponsored by stores that show what to wear - I know Houston used to - you might check their websites and see if they list any stores. There are stores that specialize in equipping UT, SMU and A&M PNMs for rush - at the very least you could call and get some suggestions as to what to buy in CA for recruitment.
Carry a small notebook and pen in your purse to jot down names of the actives you talk to at each house - it's easy to forget when you have so many houses to visit.
It will be HOT. Dress and plan accordingly. HTH.
