Enjoy senior year. You only get one of those.

Start to think of who you know that you could ask for recs.

Keep your grades up.

Do a search for Texas because there are many threads here about UT.
Thanks so much for your advice I know I'm kind of freaking out about the whole recommendation letters things though because no one in my family has ever done a sorority.

It depends on WHERE you are on those lists. If #1 reaches quota before you are reached on the list, then the program would attempt to match you with 2.

But if you are reached on #1's list before they get to quota, you would be matched to 1.

Don't give yourself a headache worrying about this kind of thing, though.

That makes sense. Yeah, I'm going to try to stop thinking about it and do my best to enjoy recruitment


Hello, strangers.

OK, I have another question. It isn't that important but I am slightly confused by terminology. I am sure that this has been explained somewhere but I couldn't find it...

As per: http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...d.php?t=113504

What exactly is quota/total/campus total? I thought that quota was however many new members a sorority was supposed to take in, based on 'X number of PNMs attending pref' divided by 'number of chapters.' Or, I thought I remembered reading that. Anyway, can someone explain this all to me please? Thank you.

quota: the number of women a sorority can offer a bid to (you have the general idea of how quota is determined right)
total/chapter total: the total number of women a sorority can have at a time

Also, in formal rush, every sorority is allowed to take quota, EVEN IF it puts them above total.

EX: Total is 150 - currently ABC has 130 members and DEF has 140 members. Quota is determined to be 20. DEF can still take 20 members, even though this puts them over the campus total of 150.
