One of my daughter's friends pledged ADPi this fall. The system is like all other large, SOUTHERN systems, very competitive and rich with political/historical connections. Her uncle holds an upper level state position in Tx. I know she had connections to AXO and XO, but never heard the details of her rush. She appears to be very happy.

When I went there, BRIEFLY, it was so different from UofH. Just like so many others have stated, when you have a strong Greek system, it's hard to find a sorority that isn't good. There is SO MUCH MONEY, let me repeat THERE IS SO MUCH MONEY!!!! Sometimes things ARE out of touch with what the average income is. Parents would buy their kids ORANGE cars!!! (Like A&M and LSU)

Austin is so wonderful though. It has a very creative atmosphere
and the music scene is so strong. You can readily find other venues through which one can grow.

Bad press in Austin is very democratic. One day its the Greeks, the next day the athletes get it. Let's not forget those"pot-head, weed smokin' stoneheads"...they catch hell too.

kristiAZD-Texas and ZTA, a strong combination!
