hiking in heels

How much is a rush coach? A lot of my friends coming to UT are using this but not really going into many details.

You know the old saying - if you have to ask how much something costs, you can't afford it.

According to the girls at my school, it's a group of girls now vs. one person.

It's actually like ten girls now, past recruitment chairs from a bunch of diff Big 12 and SEC schools.

Using it helped get me lock in an invite to Studio 54 w a sorority soooo I'm gonna say ya def helpful.

Yay girl! Glad you got had a good experience going through rush.

Yes! Why do we not have more positive posts on here like this!? <3

Probably because some people thing it is sill and unnecessary.

funny that you think sororities care at all about rec letters

Sounds like you are someone's mom-
Sweet roc's are great, but that really doesn't matter. A pnm needs to know people and be able to be friendly and outgoing during rush, that matters more. Also, while their are cliques at ut, the girls/guys that only hang out with a certain frat/sorority are the socially awkward one's that can't go outside their comfort zone and feel the need to stick with their high school friends.

And it sounds like you are not in PKT so don’t know how it works in those...

I didn’t say the sweet Rex mattered I said who wrote it does

Okay, mom! I matters who writes the rec, not how well they no you-the only way a rec truly effects someone is when it is negative.

This does sound like someone's mom who needs help.

Yes - rec letters aren't as helpful unless the person KNOWS your daughter. It's not because of how "well" it's written (although duh that's obvs just as important) - it's because of the FORM itself where it ASKS if the person writing it knows the rushee and her family and how much the sorority factors knowing her into it.

The chapters won't favor a rushee as highly when alum doesn't know them vs. when the alum writing it does. Two different piles. One pile has a better chance getting in, and one pile is less likely to.

It's obvs better to have one than NOT have one though. If you have lots of sorority connections for each house you can use those. If you don't, it doesn't really matter if it's a coach who helps connect you to people to write them. It's all about having the letters that matters (whatever resources you've got, use 'em - whatever that is.) Otherwise, she's going to get cut after Open House (this is round one at UT) from everyone one she doesn't have a rec from.

I used them and so did several friends. They were very helpful and sweet! They connected me to girls currently in the sororities before rush so more girls could end up "being allowed" to vote on me come recruitment week. (FYI, actives can't vote on a PNM unless we've met her at some point.) I'm in a house I LOVE. This year's stressful enough. PNMs - you do you.

1) You know someone who puts you on this sorority's list they make of girls they want before rush.
2) You turn in your letters of rec and pray the recruitment team picks you.
3) You work with a coach who introduces you to girls in the houses (who puts you on the list - see #1).
4) You do all of the above. The above HELPS a LOT. But it still doesn't guarantee you won't get dropped after day 1.

Don't even try to get ready for rush. Recs? That's a lot of trouble. Reaching out to your connections? Sounds like work. Hiring a coach? Ya expensive.

Bottom line: if you have the time and the money, use all the resources you can get your hands on.

By all means, if you're not willing to put in the work or if you can't afford it - go SDT.

Greek life isn't a "scheme". All the money for dues goes towards social activities during the semester and a lifelong sisterhood and network. Eyeroll.

Most of these comments supporting this company sound like they are written by the employees. I don’t know anyone who used them.

lollll yup sounds like a pnm is writing all this stuff to weed out the competition - or a triggered sorority member
