attention 2016 freshman girls

Before you waste time getting rec letters or perfecting that resume, there is something you need to realize about recruitment at UTK:
NONE OF THAT MATTERS. Your GPA, ACT score, hardwork, accomplishments, awards, recognition, volunteer work, and anything you did in high school DOES NOT MATTER. Nobody cares. They don't take any of that into account, despite how relevant it is.
So what does matter to the chapters?
1. LOOKS- you must be thin enough and hot enough to make frat boys wanna party with you.
2. WHO YOU KNOW- you must have AT MINIMUM 3 girls in the chapter that will make sure you don't get looked over during recruitment.
3. REPUTATION- even though you can't control what people say about you, if ONE negative thing is said about you during rush you will be cut. It doesn't matter if it's true or not.

If you do not EXCEL in one or two of these 3 categories, you will not get in a top tier. If you have may some of these, you will find a house, although it may not be the best. If you have none of these, you will get cut from the majority of the houses.

The truth sucks but this is how it is at Tennessee. Any comments that say it isn't are just wrong or have no idea what they are talking about.

good luck

This post speaks to how misguided recruitment and Panhellenic overall had become at UT.

This post is very true. UTK PAN has lost sight of what sororities should really be for. We could do great things and be examples on campus but instead we are cliques who compete for who can drink the most, party the hardest, and get the most guys

This is so true. Joining a sorority I thought would empower me and provide good friends but it's just high school part 2

Recruitment is no different than a job interview. And just like life, looks and who you know make a difference. You may not like it, but it's true.

I pledged a sorority with no one I went to HS with, and was cut by the one I was a legacy (mother), because of one girl who didn't like me. It worked out perfectly for me, as it usually does. Just go where you feel comfortable.
