She is in a supposed "lower teir house" but she loves it and has a great bond with her sisters. I am very happy for her but I will say she had huge cuts going thru recruitment and it was a very emotional week for this girl. She kept an open mind and is truly enjoying greek life.
I think it is hard for many of these girls that were top of their class, active in high school to face the cuts that they do (they feel so rejected) and end up dropping out, when there really is a place for them..It is just hard to see that at the moment.

This is 100% true..and the problem at UT and many other schools is that EVERYONE is at the top of thier class, beautiful, involved..etc, etc. There are so many factors that many girls going through at UT just can't change..like camp affiliations and the high shcool they went to. I think that the tiers are becoming less and less at UT..there really isnt much of a difference between the chapters once rush week is over..and the shame is that the girls that drop out dont realize that until it is too late. They all have smart, beautiful, athletic, popular girls..and they all have mixers with fraternities and formals and date parties..some have better sisterhoods than others and there is definitly some smoke and mirrors going on during recruitment...but if one would simply just keep an open mind, she could probably be happy as a clam in just about every chapter at UT.
