So You Wanna Rush a Sorority at UT Austin: A Numerical Odyssey (But Mostly Just a Number)
Ah, UT Austin. Land of burnt orange, Bevo the longhorn mascot (who may or may not be plotting world domination...just sayin'), and a frankly ridiculous number of sororities. But fear not, my fellow freshman, for we shall navigate this sea of sisterhoods together, armed with nothing but our thirst for knowledge (and maybe a little queso).

By the Numbers: How Many Sororities Are We Talking About Here?
The official number, according to the Office of the Dean of Students, is a cool 60. Yes, 60! That's more sororities than there are excuses you can use for forgetting your dorm key (although, "rogue squirrel infestation" is a classic for a reason).
Now, this number includes both social sororities and multicultural sororities, each with their own unique traditions and focuses. It's like a choose-your-own-adventure book of friendship, except with slightly less chance of encountering a fire-breathing dragon (although some fraternity formals might come close...).
Tip: Revisit this page tomorrow to reinforce memory.
But Wait, There's More! (Because Seriously, There's a Lot)
Here's the thing: 60 is just a headline number. The Greek world at UT Austin is a complex ecosystem, with different sororities belonging to various governing councils. Think of them as sorority squads, each with their own vibe.
There's the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) with all your classic sorority names like Kappa Kappa Gamma and Alpha Phi. Then you've got the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) with amazing sororities like Sigma Lambda Gamma and Alpha Kappa Alpha. It's a whole lotta Greek alphabet soup, but don't worry, you'll be a pro at deciphering it all in no time.
