We used to get these huge packages with the full-length pics for the Texas girls back when I was in undergrad (can I say that?). We were happy to get them as recs are moderately common at W&L, but the Texas packets were definitely the most intense...

I can think of one girl who had a beautiful face but her full-length... Wow. I think that is a rush story I just can't tell. Although I SO WANT TO.

And yeah... UT is UT is UT is.... Texas.

I was the senior homeroom teacher at a private school in Houston. I had a white erase board with all the students' names, and I would write their college acceptances on the board. One student was accepted to UTSA, so I dutifully wrote "UTSA" by his name. He kept erasing the "SA", which irritated his fellow classmates, so finally they drew Shamu (there is a Sea World in San Antonio) by his name.

Hook 'Em.


I agree UT is in Austin. I am from Houston and have lived in Texas all my life until I went to school in Tenn. When anyone I know says UT or Texas they are talking about the one in Austin. If they go to the UT in Dallas then it is UTD or the one it San Antonio its UTSA. I mean even those schools websites call themselves UTD and UTSA. If you are applying for a job and you put down UT please mean the one in Austin. Not that UTSA or UTD arent good schools but lets be honest UT is much harder to get accepted into then the other two I mean they defer acceptance of students to attend those other schools.

Co-sign!

UTA is UT-Arlington, UTD is UT-Dallas, UTSA is UT-San Antonio, and then there's UT-Austin.

Seriously... people try to hide it all the time, but it's kind of silly.

Did her photo show her wearing a pink beaded dress, pink tights with sequins up the back and pink high heel shoes? Just curious.

No, no it did not!

Speaking of Texas recruitment and roundup etc., I saw a bunch of Texas sorority members wandering around West Campus completely trashed today around 9:45 AM.
