I, too, am sorry to hear you were released this afternoon. I'd love to tell you UT does some COB, but I just don't know any longer. Their web site does mention one group that does not participate in formal recruitment, and it goes on to say some chapters do rush informally during the semester. I imagine it just depends on the situation. Do you know how many girls participated and how many dropped out? That's a factor, also.
I do know that some groups at A&M do snap bids and cob, but I also know sophomores have a tough, tough time getting in some of the chapters there.
UT's a big school. Here's good wishes for finding a place to shine, Greek or not!

Hugs to you Heart in Texas!
Even though COB opportunities are few & far between, it doesn't hurt to check with the Greek Life office to see if they know of any groups who are participating in COB after FR.
Like others have said, don't let it ruin your college experience. With a school as big as Texas, there are bound to be great opportunities to get involved and to meet people.

Girls, I am so sorry to hear that things didn't work out in formal recruitment for y'all. Several posters have suggested that if you still want to try Greek life, you contact the Greek Life office and inquire about other opportunities, as there may be some, and there are tons of ways to get involved in Austin. I hope you're able to get over the hurt in time and find fun ways to enjoy your college experiences.

Another friend of mine was cut from 9 to 3 today and from her favorites. Including one that had been talking to the both of us for a while.
Im at a loss.
