Girls know each other from high school or family connections and legacies. Also some sororities cut girls based solely on the zip code from their home address and will only take girls from the "rich" zip codes, sad but true. I have a friend at TU and I know senior year of HS she was going to Austin and spending the night at certain houses already because she had older friends there. AND, of course, she got in that house she spent time at because the girls knew her. You'd be amazed how many connections people have before recruitment. It's totally legal to do that up until summer before recruitment starts. Also, legacies typically get invited to visit houses in the spring with their Mother, sister Grandmother, whoever the legacies family member is. It's not as random of a process as you think. A&M's recruitment is so competitive now because most girls are gorgeous, have great grades and the connections. If you don't know people ahead of time you're at a big disadvantage. Keep your ears open for opportunities for open recruitment this spring- it's easier than going through formal recruitment again cause your experience will most likely be the same or a little worse because you're older. Yes, they take sophomores, but it's harder the 2nd year, trust me. Good luck.
