competitive?
by: PNM2021I am seriously wondering if sorority rushing is as competitive as it sounds on Greek Rank. I don't have connections, but in all honesty I'm just looking for a group of girls that I'll have a great time with. I don't really care about ranks/tiers. Does anyone know how many of the girls actually get cut? Is rushing still competitive in the "lower tiers"?

The truth is, yes - UT sorority rush is very competitive. All the houses make cuts, even the "lower" ones. Be very prepared with your resume, pics and recs, and keep an open mind. The good news is, all the girls I know who've gone through did end up getting bids.....just may not have been to their "dream" houses. All seem very happy now, though. Good luck!

Rush at UT is the most ridiculous, fraud-based fake ritual ever. It is especially like that for those 8 groups that you think are so wonderful. It is already "scripted" before it even starts. The sororities already know who they're picking, as well as the rushees knowing where they're going to end up. If someone tells you to go through rush there with an open mind, it's all an act and you're wasting your valuable time. Skip it and do something worthy that's part of the UT system itself, and don't become part of the greek shallow system.

Looks like someone's mad af they didn't get a bid from said "8." Here's the reality: The first three have most of their picks and then some room for out of state or girls they think are really cool who have fewer connections. The second three pick out some, but will look at girls based on resume and looks more. The middle tier is doing the best they can with leftovers. Yes some of it's fake, but if you play your cards right and break your back in preparation, you won't get played.

The ones who are "preselected" may not be the smartest, nicest, prettiest, or classiest. They just have connections. So no loss to most ladies if don't make the cut.

Jesus Christ, you're bitter. Obviously not, but the process does bring out who's truly serious about it. FYI, many were pre-selected because it is the chapter's opinion that they're nice, agreeable girls...for the most part. Mostly high qual girls are going through rush. There's not enough room for all 1400-1500, so the ones who haul as$ make the cut.
If you wanted in and didn't have the connections, you should have begun hunting for good, well-connected references spring of your junior year of high school. Hard lesson some learn. Lil pro tip to the future PNMs who really believe they're top tier material

honestly some of my really good friends had little to no connections going in and still went 'top tier' but all of the sororities are amazing no matter where you end up. I have friends in all of the houses who just have easily been in possibly another house but their personality and pref choice gave them the amazing group of girls, friendships and memories they have today. Anywhere you pledge will be amazing at UT - just make sure to get in your references and all of the prerush stuff done in order to set yourself best up for success
