The friends I have at UT said that rush is very competitive since it's such a large school and a huge incoming freshman class. I know it's possible for sophomores though, you just really have to shine. I'm at A&M and I'll be rushing as a sophomore and I've been looking into how many sophomores made the pledge classes and it's roughly about 8 - 12 out of about 44-50 for each sorority. I imagine it'll be about the same for UT. Good luck next fall! We're in the same boat
