The September 1976 Texas Monthly article is entitled "Sisterhood is Powerful" and was written by Prudence Mackintosh, who pledged Kappa Kappa Gamma in 1962.

I also remember reading the Texas Handbook, similiar to the Official Preppy Handbook and the Southern Belle's Handbook that the proper progression for a Texas gentlewoman was


Camp Waldemar to Highland Park HS to Big Six Sorority to Junior League

I guess someone forgot to tell that to women like Kay Bailey Hutchison.

Seriously, your interest in sororities is not so slowly creeping into prune tacos territory.

Actually, she is a member of one of the big six and was a UT cheerleader, but that's not the point.

Why on earth would you use material written over 30 years ago as the ultimate guide to sorority recruitment at UT in 2010? That's old, old stuff. If I remember correctly, the Texas Monthly article did poke some fun at the groups with it's member profiles. It was not all serious praise. Let it go and move on, or at least enter the current century.

Hence why I've stayed away from a lot of his posts.
