The Sorority Showdown: A Who's Who (and What's What) of UT Austin Chapters
UT Austin boasts a whopping 13 Panhellenic Council Sororities – that's a fancy way of saying sororities that participate in a formal recruitment process. Each one has its own unique personality and philanthropic focus.
Need to know: Recruitment week is a whirlwind of social events where you meet girls from each chapter. It can be intense, but hey, free food and endless compliments on your outfit? We're not complaining!
But wait, there's more! UT also has a vibrant community of Multicultural Sororities and Latino Fraternities/Sororities that focus on cultural heritage and social justice. These organizations offer a strong sense of community and empowerment.
Word to the wise: Do your research! Each sorority has a website and social media presence. Check them out to get a feel for their vibe.
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.
