Thanks LadyLonghorn! My sorority's recruitment team has gone over the silence & contact rules thoroughly, and I believe that I am allowed to give advice to others through Greek Chat since I do not personally know them, their name, where their from, any personal information whatsoever to the point where I could be biased during recruitment. Also, of course, I would not be giving out my name, sorority, high school, or affiliations at all. I am only here to give advice on my experience, and I hope that with my experience, I can help PNM's with what I know about the recruitment process at Texas and the experiences of my friends so that they can get a better idea when they go through rush!

Also, I was looking through all the rules just to double check after I read your post, and it states that silence begins August 11.
Rules: Silence begins at 6:00 a.m. on Wednesday, August 11, 2010. Potential new members may not attend fraternity parties. Potential new members may not receive anything from any representative of a sorority until they have accepted their bids. Sorority representatives may not issue oral invitations to parties or to pledge.
PNM's, please feel free to private message me if you don't want to be exposed!
