I'm actually FROM Austin, so believe me when I say it's PKT first. Big Six is a thing, and many girls would rather drop than be in something other than Big Six. But the OP asked for "Old Row" which I assume to mean houses where connections, money, and especially old money matter more than anything else. At UT-Austin, sororities exist solely as a social club. Money, connections, and looks are the biggest, and I would say only, determining factors. To get into the Austin campus, you need to have good grades anyways, so grades don't matter. Sororities don't do many philanthropy activities anyways so being a good Christian lady doesn't matter. It's worse to be poor than to have a mom with a wine problem. It's absolutely nuts and superficial. But the rest of the student body doesn't care about sororities, and sororities don't care about the student body. There are enough prestigious orgs to join on campus and parties in Austin that no one really NEEDS Greek Life to have a social life like here. PKT can afford to be rude because they always get the girls they want, and PNMs feel insulted for a week, but there are rarely any inter-sorority relations, so everyone just ignores each other for the rest of the 4 years.
