The biggest issue at UT is that most of the sororities primarily recruit from their own big city Texas high schools. There are many houses that are dominated by 4-5 Texas high schools. The girls in these houses went to school with girls incoming and fight hard for them when voting. Several of these houses begin actively recruiting girls as early as junior year from these certain high schools- inviting girls up for weekends at the house. The smaller town & OOS girl who doesn't know anyone is already at a disadvantage before she walks in the door. Another compounding issue is there are only 13 sororities at UT. Other large schools in size comparison have more houses-Alabama has 17 and UGA has 19- which adds to the increased competitiveness but it also means that most of the houses are great at UT because there are far more girls going through rush than available slots. So long story short.. Bottom tiered houses are the houses filled with smaller town & OOS girls or girls not running in the right cliques in large Texas cities, who didn't stand much of a chance with a lot of the other houses. Bottom tier doesn't mean it's a quality of girl issue at UT or reputation. What's considered bottom at UT would most likely be a higher tiered at other schools not nearly as prestigious or hard as UT to get into (based on GPA, EC's, SAT's, class rank). Small town & OOS girls thrive at these houses as these houses are not dominated by tight high school friend groups, which can be challenging for an outsider. My advice… Give all houses a fair chance and focus 100% on who you click with. If you don’t get a house, many girls are successful rushing again sophomore year when houses have a sophomore quota or during COB.
