UT active here! Rush at Texas was one of the craziest experiences I’ve gone through. Very stressful. Very intimidating. Snobby, cliquey girls all over. I found lots of helpful info on this site so be sure to read through all of the threads.

UT’s acceptance ratio now stands at 39%. It’s hard getting in these days. Because of that, the Texas girls who thought they’d be an auto-admit to continue their mom’s UT legacy are often not getting in. We have more OOS girls than ever before. All of the girls going through rush here are top students, so other qualities come into play: style, attractiveness, personality, connections from high school or camp, wealth. Like most schools, there is a pecking order but all chapters have well-traveled, very smart actives with plenty of disposable income.

There are always exceptions but basically, the chapters have certain personalities.

PiPhi, Kappa and Theta usually pull in girls they know. ChiO and TriDelta take lots of suburban girls and those that don’t go PKT. Zeta goes for pageant and cheer types. Alpha Phi pulls the outgoing, party girls that didn’t go ChiO or Zeta. Alpha Chi takes lots of OOS girls; really pretty group. AEPhi is predominately Jewish. DG comes next; very involved on campus. KD is the newest house on campus; really involved on campus as well. ADPi has a sweeter, quieter demeanor. AXD girls are fun-loving and don’t care about status. SDT is a very diverse group; no house but they have a nice place to meet at.

Sign up for recruitment early. Try to follow a few actives on Insta. Try to link up at orientation. Of course, clean up your social media. Come down for Round Up but don’t make a fool of yourself.

Be open-minded but pledge a sorority you feel good about. Successful re-rushing at UT is definitely a thing but only if you connect well with actives during freshman year.

With that, welcome to The University of Texas. You’re gonna absolutely love it!! Good luck and kick ass!
