Recruitment UT Austin
Hi!
I'm a current CAP student at UTSA and am planning to rush at UT the following year. I've read a bunch of the stories on the internet, and formal recruitment sounds to be extremely competitive. I was wondering what is the difference between a letter of recommendation, a reference letter, sponsorship, and a letter of support? |
All the terms containing "letter" are the same. Sponsorship is Delta Gamma's term for a recommendation.
|
Placement rates at UT Austin are excellent, as long as you stay in to the end. It is only very competitive if you restrict yourself to a few chapters. Be open to every chapter and presuming you have the grades and some social skills you should be fine.
|
Don't pay attention to tent talk. It is particularly vicious at Texas, but all of the chapters are terrific.
|
As KDCat said, don't listen to tent talk and go with where you fit/click best.
|
I was unsure of rushing since I do not have a 3.5 gpa since I took some hard classes and did not do too well for example calculus and biosciences, but I have above a 3.0. I am still pretty open minded just so I can experience formal recruitment and have no what ifs
|
And btw what is tent talk? does it have to do with the tents in front of each house?

If you are one of the girls standing out front waiting to get in, you don't know jack about squat, regardless of what you think you know. Keep it to yourself and seriously try to not let the negative and sometimes seriously nasty stuff interfere with your process. They're all good; they all have positive and negative qualities and they all have a range of girls. And nobody is a hooker, nobody has slept with the whole football team, all of the houses (sadly) have girls with drug and alcohol problems and none of them are pervasive problems. They all have great grades and have a few members who just can't seem to get it together. Just like your friends in real life. No one is perfect. |
and as you said the placement rate is pretty good? So as long as i stick it through ill maybe have a shot at being at one of these great houses hopefully

Yeah that's what I was worried about but i guess I can't change my gpa that is above the CAP which is 3.2 but a little below 3.5

Take a deep breath. You can't change your GPA. So, change the things you can change. Do lots of reading in the recruitment forum - it's a gold mine of tips and ideas. Prepare as best as you can, and let the chips fall where they may. Good luck to you!
|
And another question do we have to be registered for recruitment at the university before we can send in our letters of reccomendation or the recommendation form to each house? or will they figure out that the recommendation will be attached to me after i register with my university?
