It may not seem fair to you, but that is the way the system works for sororities everywhere, not just at UT. Many sororities are required by their national membership policies to have a rec on a girl before they offer a bid. Even if a rec is not required by a particular sorority, recs help the girls who have them to stand out from the crowd. All of the sororities looked at hundreds of resumes over the summer. A formula is used by panhellenic and each sorority is told how many girls they can invite to each round, (and this number is not the same for all of the groups). They had to do the best they could to narrow down the pool of pnms in advance before they issued their limited number of invitations. Each sorority has a private system for doing this and they take lots of things into consideration- grades, activities, legacy status, recs, friends, etc. They do hold some party slots back for that fantastic out of stater who is off the radar, but if she has done her homework and read the information on the panhellenic website, she will know that, in most cases, she needs recs. Please stop assuming that some chapters are "snobby" or whatever- they are all just operating under the rules of the system. Those chapters did not choose to invite fewer girls than others- they were not allowed to. Wherever you pledged, have a great time, make lots of friends, and next year when you are on the other side you will have a clearer picture of how it actually works.
