<strong>Subject:</strong><br />out of state sorority rush<br /><br /> Poster Message:
Hi, all! I've heard that Texas usually has a pretty biased system towards Old Texas, old money, and legacies when it comes to Greek Life. This is somewhat scary to me, being a Southern California girl with no idea what I'm getting myself into. I was under the impression that out of staters can sometimes make the top sororities, or ones with the best reputations, by being gorgeous and having a lot of money. Is this the only way to find yourself in a good house? By no means is my family financially unstable, and I'd like to think I'm generally attractive enough, but I'm not sure how biased the system is and have heard some negative comments about it. (Note: I have a very close family friend who is an extremely active member of Pi Beta Phi who would write a recommendation but not sure if that goes far) Of course, I'm in no place to comment as I have never experienced it - so I'm asking for help! Is it necessary to stock up on designer handbags for rushing or should I just hope my conversational skills go far enough? I'm super excited for a fresh start in a new state but worry I'll be a fish out of water - any comments or guidance about UT Austin would be appreciated. Also, if anyone knows the reputations of each sorority at UT I would be super happy to see your viewpoints, understanding of course that they are objective. Many thanks!
