Fall Rush at Texas

[srmom]

Well, being a mom, I can understand that we all have reasons for what we believe and what we'll fund It is expensive to be in a fraternity at UT, so be sure to join one your folks will pay for!!! KA is a great group with a lot of traditions and it has been a great place for my son. But, there are a bunch of other houses that are great at Texas and I'm sure you'll find one that fits. Good luck to you!!

There are many good posts on this thread and some, well, use your best judgment.

UT is like many Big Schools.

There as some call tiers which is BS to an extent as they go up and they go down.

Costs of being a member of a GLO is about the same as it was a few years ago, but the cost of education is going up at an alarming rate and the expendible monies can go only so far.

I was told by a friend who went to Tx Un. that it is different than any other. But I think you can say this to many Old Line Southern Uns.

As to looking at any GLO to join, the most important thing is do you fit with each other. There are not any bad GLOs, just bad chapters.

LXA is considered even in my mind as still the new kid on the block being founded in 1909 compared to otheres founded in the late 1899's.

Traditions such as KA has a long history and whether they are a member of IFC is not a problem if they are accepted by their National and the student body.

Suggestion, check out not only the web sites, but where other chapters are and see how they rank.

But you still have to be able to fit in with them and them with you.

So does anyone else have any advice or info that it would be helpful to know?

Does anyone know where I could find a contact list for the fraternities to try to get information about rushing?

Thanks.

Humm...
Did you read and act upon posting #14?
And since you are on the Internet and a High School student it should have taken you less time than it did me (13 seconds) to find this site:
http://deanofstudents.utexas.edu/gle/

IMHO, those that do their home work first and then ask questions get better answers.

Been there before, but many of the fraternities, including a lot of those listed as "top houses" above, don't have websites or rush chairmen listed on their IFC profiles.

I was just wondering if anyone knew of a site with more info or had any contacts that might not be posted on the UT site. The IFC section hasn't even been updated since this fall anyways. I've been checking regularly to see when the registration opens but it hasn't yet. I know UPC's registration doesn't open until May, which is after Roundup and a lot of the events which I've been told are important.
