Wouldn't it be easier if he walked over to some of the fraternity houses at UT and asked them? I know, stupid question about the obvious.

Actually, a very sensible, obvious question. The simple fact is that I don't know any fraternity members at UT, so I don't have any personal contacts to pursue there. I have left some phone messages and posted to some websites, but no responses so far. Hopefully, that will change.

Just a suggestion, and I don't know if this is valid at UT. Some councils at larger schools require PHA and IFC chapter representatives to hold "office hours". Typically, most required hold an office in the council. Call the IFC office and ask if there are such hours or find out who the IFC recruitment chair is and contact him. He can give you general information about rush over all, but not specifics on each chapter. At least you will get accurate info based one of the largest greek communities in the country.

I feel like office hours aren't uncommon at smaller schools, too. I used to use mine for naps.

The only guys at UT who might respond to that kind of thing would not be in chapters that would give you an accurate depiction of what fraternity rush is like for an "in demand" freshman at a school with a strong Greek life.

Recruitment styles, methods and time frames vary wildly depending on the campus and its culture.
