I didn't have this exact problem when I was deciding on colleges, but I was definitely concerned about how greek life would fit into my experience. My mom, grandmother, and great grandmother were all in the same NPC, and I felt a strong pull to carry on the tradition. However, that NPC wasn't on the campuses of two of my first choice schools, and while it was on the campus of one, greek life wasn't big there, and I wanted to have a *real* greek experience. That said, I ended up leaving the sorority thought OUT of my decision process. I figured where ever I ended up, I had to be happy with the school, location, classes, etc. before I worried about sororities. I figured if I didn't join a sorority, I could join some kind of social club or honor society.
I really think if UT-Austin is your dream school, you should go there. And honestly, if you are this interested so early along, you will be able to get recs. And if you show that enthusiasm during recruitment, SOMEONE will notice and want you on board. Just keep reading GC and by next Fall, you will be beating them off with a stick!
