bids for fall 2016
by: RusheeAre any of the top or upper mid tier fraternities still giving out bids? Or is rush for them pretty much over.

Top (Sig Ep, Fiji, SAE) probably are near done with around 45 guys right now, with the rest of their bids gonna be given out this week at Austin State. They already know who they want
Upper mids(ksig,ka,delt,sigchi) if i were to guess have 20-35 signed guys, and another 10 or so guys sitting on their bids. If you're starting rush this late, you'll have to make a really good impression to get in to any of these chapters. They'll give out a lot of bids at Austin State, try to get the guys sitting on their bids to sign, and if there are any left over spots they'll snap bid the coolest oos kids that show up last second. At the end of rush these top 7 fraternitites (not counting zbt) will probably have around 50 man PC's

If you're not from hp, memorial, westlake, a prestigious private school etc you have basically a 0% chance at top except MAYBE sig ep. If you are were popular and played sports in hs, and decent looking but from a suburb instate the 4 so called uppermids are the best you can do.

True except if you look at Sigep pledge classes they still have a decent amount of guys from suburb high schools but they're the 'coolest', richest and best looking of the bunch

I agree still sig ep is mostly from feeder schools. There are a few from suburbs unlike sae and fiji, which you have a absolute zero chance of getting into from a suburb lol. Sig ep looks for a very specific kind of guy, good looking and for lack of a better term a douchebag. The whole dry house and balanced man thing may hurt their chapter though

Also i think it's worth mentioning for people who don't know any better, that the top 8 fraternities(sae,fiji,zbt,sigep,ksig,ka,delt,sigchi) on campus are extremely expensive, so on top of what is said above about the qualities they are looking for, your parents/you probably have to be pretty wealthy. When counting dues and other randoms costs, the 8 big fraternities can easily cost around 6-8k a year.

you gotta be invited, honestly if you haven't been invited by any of the fraternities listed above by now you probably don't have a chance. Check out pike they are probably the only other respectable chapter outside the big 8 fraternities, or hope for a snap bid to one of the upper mids

Yeah they already had their Austin state but try to suicide them or ato. They're not the great eight but still pretty good everyone under them starts to become irrelevant in UT greek life

The fraternities throw big parties/rush events in each of the big cities Houston, Dallas, Austin. If u didn't know this info by now and you were planning on rushing this fall ur in trouble if you were after one of the upper mids, most chapters have already had all their state events I've heard a few of the bigger fraternities are having Austin state Friday and Saturday this week and maybe one or two fraternities will throw one next week but idk the schedule

No one knows this info unless there is someone who's friends with rush captains of every fraternity and goes out of their way to ask. Wait until school starts then people will judge
