Sorority pledging

How do you pledge/get into/rush a sorority if you’re not a legacy?

Same way as legacies (which don’t mean much anymore). You register with your local Panhellenic and they help you get letters if recommendation from area alumnae. This usually starts in February -March of senior year.

Figure out how many people you know who can write you a rec letter. You only need one per sorority on UT’s campus. It’s better if the letter is from someone who knows you. The local Panhellenic will fill in the gaps.

You’ll also register wth UT to let them know you are going to rush.

Also, if you know girls who are currently in houses at UT, reach out to them and let them know you’re rushing. It helps to know people in the houses. There are so many legacies at UT that it’s definitely not a given anymore that you will get a bid for being a legacy. And know that if it doesn’t work out, there are so many spirit groups on campus to get involved in.
