University of Texas Recruitment August 21-28, 2012

[homeward*bound]

The idea that there is no land available in the west campus area of UT is a myth. There are dozens of good sized parcels still available for tear downs ---- for the right price. It's the price that's prohibitive. With developers paying exorbitant prices for land to build monolithic student apartment complexes, it will be an enormous financial feat for any organization to secure an apporpriate piece of land and build a competitive house. Add to that the nature of UT's Greek system that's frequently discussed here, and you're looking at a colossal risk.

Ok....not sure where the conversation turned from outfits to building on west campus, but I am moving back to outfits.

Please follow the guidelines and if you desire, take each level up one notch. For example on t-shirt day, wear the t-shirt they gave and pair that with khaki shorts but wear a nice pair of flat sandals or sperry's (this will be the most common) but NOT tennis shoes. I know it says tennis shoes, but girls in the know don't do this. Also tuck your shirt in and wear a belt. LOOK POLISHED. Also make sure you have your nails done and toes for sandal wear and keep perfume to a minimim. 100 degrees + 1,000 PNMS w/perfume = BAD. You will find the actives do not wear perfume during recruitment. They will also give you bag the first night to put things in. You can't carry a purse, only this bag. Put in it what you think you might need, but this bag does not go into the houses, it says with your counselor so some type of deodorant, hair brush, small mirror, cosmetics of choice to polish up, etc. You will also want a pen and paper to make notes for yourself...after 14 houses of people telling you what they offer, you will lose track if you don't make notes after each visit.
