PGroove, I might be able to add a bit to help you out.
My son had a roommate freshman year from out of state. He didn't know a soul at UT except for my son through phone conversations and emailing. My son thought he was a great guy, so he helped him out by introducing him to the guys who were rushing him, and let him know when things were going on in the summer. The guy ended up being able to come down for a week, so was able to attend some events. They both ended up pledging the same fraternity, and it is one of the top house that normally pledges guys from Texas hometowns and feeder schools.
So, if your roommate to be and you get along really well, he will help you out. Let him know that you would like to come down for some of the summer stuff, and to let keep you in the loop.
If you are a cool guy, you'll get a bid. I think in my son's pledge class they had a guy from Illinois, a guy from Indiana, and a guy from England - they fit in really well with the 40 something other guys from Texas hometowns and feeder schools.
You'll be fine. Just don't act desperate!!
