seeking deserved answers
by: PKT alumna
I am a very involved PKT alumna- I won't say which chapter for privacy reasons, but I have served as a Chapter Advisor to many Chapters, as a Regional Officer, and even a National Officer, in addition to being a past President of my Alumna Association. I'm keeping these terms general to avoid identifying my GLO. I have also given VERY generous financial support.
My drop dead gorgeous, 4.0, Homecoming Queen, cheer captain, very involved in school and volunteering in the community, polished appearance/fashionable, bubbly, outstanding in every way daughter (who had multiple recs to ALL Chapters) was dropped not only by my GLO, but several others. She ended up in a "less desirable" group. She seems very happy and "loves" her new "sisters", but I am infuriated that all of the time, effort, and dedication to my group was not appreciated. I have been in contact with Nationals, and they said that she should have received a Bid to my house, since she was overly qualified and because of my extensive involvement with my group. So I would like to know-why do you "ladies" blatantly turn your back on such wonderful legacies? I am here seeking answers, and I feel I have a right to know.

I think the main issue here is the focus and worship of the so called PKT. I am disappointed that you would describe your daughters choice as "non-desirable". That attitude, in fact, is the reason why UT has such a dreadful recruitment with so many disappointed young ladies when they don't get a bid from the so called "Big 6". My daughter was also a legacy for a so called "Big 6" went through a couple of years ago and decided to become part of a wonderful sisterhood who is not considered the so called"Big 6". Guess what? She loves it and it has been an incredible sisterhood. I too was very active as an alumnae and found my disappointment came from my self centered behavior and concern not my daughters. In summary, embrace your daughters decision, do not ever let her think you are disappointed and you know what, if a sisterhood cut her, then it may be their loss not hers and her current sisterhoods gain. All sororities at UT have and add value to their college experience.

Yes, the 70s Texas Monthly article turned Big Six into a standard reference, and yes Phi Phi, Kappa, and Theta were all identified in that top tier, but it was absolutely not called PKT until around 2003. This isn't the only reason to call TROLL on this post. But it is definitely one that made me laugh because someone under 30 wouldn't know that this was not a thing until recently.

It's really pathetic when any mom shows up on this site. Go get a life and leave college life to us. You're way too old for this.
