My daughter is OOS and successfully pledged a sorority at UT this past Fall. At UT, it is important to have letters of rec for each sorority (and they don't need to come from a UT alum, so you can ask you friends, neighbors, teachers, etc.) and do what you can to meet some sorority girls now and in the next few months so you can make some connections ahead of time. Contact everyone you know who went to or goes to UT and try to get those relationships going.
My daughter's sorority has a fair number of OOS girls, as do a few other sororities. A few sororities have very few OOS because they draw primarily from certain areas/HS's in Texas, summer camps, etc. If you present yourself well, and are outgoing, you will do fine. Shy/reserved girls often have a tough time of it, given the competitive nature of recruitment.
Good luck!
