dorm choice
by: High SchoolSRD vs Calloway vs Hardin? I liked SRD the best. Hardin seemed like a dump. Calloway was really nice, but it might be too wild for school. I would appreciate thoughts on living there as well as impact on sorority rush.

Doesn’t impact your sorority except that Hardin is almost all Greek. Hardin is a dump but if you can handle that and know lots of girls in Big 6 it is really fun. If you hate it or don’t know tons of girls already in chapters do one of other two. I personally like the all girl thing a lot. It is easy to meet guys.

Hardin is all big 6. If you're not thinking big 6, stay at Callaway or SRD. Callaway is definitely pricer than the other two but definitely worth the price. All the pgs happen here freshman year so you're closer than anyone else to the action. SRD's location is a major downfall. Callaway has the best location, only downside is the crappy elevators.

It does not matter where you live! Hardin House has girls from all sororities, not just top 6!! The biggest difference is that almost everyone in Hardin is greek, but you will have non-greek in SRD (may 20-30% non-greek). Calloway is a great choice too, but sorta wild, but super nice! If you want all girls, SRD or Hardin (personally I like SRD best because it is so pretty and has decent food). You can't go wrong with any of these choices.

SRD is the best all girls choice. The girls are so sweet and you won't regret living there. Hardin is a DUMP and the food is TERRIBLE, but the girls are also nice. Calloway seems really great too, especially if you want co-ed. SRD is mostly greek, but not all, and Hardin is all Greek.
#8by: The moms
Moms are the ones that want their daughters to live in Hardin (and most of the time those moms didn't even go to UT, but Hardin has a 'history'- and to some extent this is true for SRD, but I think the girls living in SRD are nicer). However, it doesn't matter where you live during rush (don't listen to the poster who says sororities cut if you live in Hardin, this is a lie). I have known girls who live in the public dorms and done great during rush, so that is an option too. Calloway is nice, but can be wild! Choose the dorm where you feel at home, once you visit all the dorms, you will know which one feels right.

I lived in Hardin and did not pledge 'top 6'-and it can be a hard place to live and some of the girls were not that nice! However, a lot of the girls were nice, so take that for what it is worth. Also, go around and look at the doors and there a girls in ChiO and TriDelta living there along with PKT and all other sororities! My best high school friend lived in SRD, and honestly everyone seemed nice there and it didn't seem to matter what sorority you were in, and that is 100% true. Also, there was a lot of party girls in Hardin, and that got old. I didn't like the food that much, but it saved me from gaining a ton of weight! I think the girls live in Hardin for the group of girls choosing to live there (and yes, my mom signed me up in elementary school for Hardin!). I don't regret living there, but it is not cute and the food is meh-and there were girls that loved living there. Take that for what it is worth. SRD, Calloway are great places, and as someone else said, visit and make your own choice!!
