Overall, it really depends on the person. The "top rank" is more of the overall popularity and history of the particular greek group. But here is how it is at Texas, for the most part. For fraternities, there is a "top 4". (1) FIJI, SAE, KA, SIG EP. -FIJI is probably known for having good parties and an awesome house. -SAE, SIG EP also have great houses, and ****, so does KA. -All of ...

Going through rush as a girl is definitely very tough if you're not a legacy or don't know what you're getting yourself into. A lot of girls who come here have mom's who went to Texas and were in sororities, so you're really competing against girls who have a lot of history here which is valued. However, if you do get into the Greek system, it's great, and I'd say that you will be happy with any ...

okay so is texas spirits not a sorority? im really confused about what it is exactly.

ATX replied 1 month, 1 week ago
@ cocoaluna - Texas Spirits is a "spirit group"...not a sorority. Sororities go through rush, have houses, mixers, and are a part of "Greek Life". While the Spirits are "spirit groups" such as Absolute Texxas, Lonestar, Wranglers...etc. Spirits have more history than Absolute Texxas though, for example.

cocoaluna replied 1 month, 1 week ago
oh okayy, they have mixers and such so i thought they were. i might join that since it seems less competitive than the greeks

texas2013 replied 1 month, 1 week ago
I actually tried out for Spirits this past semester and it is very, very competitive. You have to make an art project and they only give you 2 nights to complete it. Around 200 girls tried out and the cut it down to 60. I was lucky to be one of the 60, but then after that, you make another project and go through a crazy interview and then they cut it down to 25 and 25 girls make it. They recruit ...

omg that does sound competetive! ughh...

TXhorn replied 1 month, 1 week ago
spirit groups do not mesh with the greek system (no joint parties or mixers); they have parties with other similar organizations. There are some girls in both sorority and a spirit group. Besides that, I think this thread needs to be burned because of Psych!'s post. "anything under these, DO NOT RUSH"? are you serious? Sickening! And the claim about Pi Phi is baseless, slanderous lies!

honestly AAli, look for what you want in a fraternity, but don't just overlook one because it doesn't have the "name recognition" you want. the connections are good, but a fraternity is also about brotherhood and camaraderie, not some fraternity where you don't exactly mesh with the guys just because they have fame and good connections. if your able to get both from your fraternity then great, but i would...

Also, rush at Texas does not really last just one week. Some chapters may have a "rush week" for their last week of rush, but rush usually starts at Roundup in March and goes until Austin State and Pledgeline parties in August.

tiger, once you are initiated into a fraternity, you can't rush again and join another one, unless you are released (by contacting your national offices) from the one you are in - BUT, it is highly doubtful that another house will pledge someone who has already been initiated into another fraternity. If you transfer, the fraternity does not have to automatically accept you (let you affiliate). If you are a good guy, though, you probably...
