First of all, I said recruitment about as competitive as the SEC. I was thinking more along the lines of places like Vandy (which I realize is technically in the SEC but I never really think about them that way.) But others also have a point when they said Texas is getting right up there as well. I know many people who couldn’t get into Texas because of the top 10 rule who ended up at places like Rice or the Ivies. This is why I find the intellectual snobbery based solely on the college attended so terribly entertaining. Little Owl, just so you don’t feel so alone in your intellectual tower here, I’d like you to know that I was also accepted by both Harvard and Stanford. I chose Texas because I wanted a well-rounded college experience, and I can assure you I am far from being alone.
To address another point, Texas has an extremely competitive Greek system to go along with its selective admission standards, but there is no way anyone would ever call the Greek system here diverse.
