Just sharing my transfer experience with you: I originally went to a smaller private school with a very strong (...maybe overbearing) greek system. I pledged and became an active member, but I found out I really didn't like the small, gossipy campus and I decided to change majors to one that was not strong at that school. I transferred to a large public university and affiliated with my sorority's chapter there. I am so glad I did...
With that said...UT is an incredible school! You may not realize just what you are missing until you are gone. With a school that big you are sure to find some focus besides the Greek scene. An earlier poster pointed out that for the size of UT, the Greek system is rather small, relatively speaking, especially when you consider the size of Austin, as well. Why not immerse yourself in an activity that has something to do with what you want to do professionally?
One last thought (as I fight a bad sinus infection keeping me awake...): are any chapters colonizing at UT? Some of the other posters might be more in the know on that. It certainly sounds like you have some of the qualities a new chapter might be looking for.
