Quick answers
When is recruitment?
Recruitment opens every fall and spring on dates our officer team sets — we ride on our own schedule. Everyone hears back on Bid Day, and nobody gets a flat no.
Who can join?
Any current UT Austin undergraduate who supports our women-focused mission. Transfers, and women who recently went through another org's recruitment, are absolutely welcome.
What do you look at?
Heart for the mission, follow-through (one info night and three events), and how you treat people. Never your appearance, Greek affiliation, legacy status, hometown, money, or follower counts.
What if I don't get in?
Nobody gets a flat no. You'll get a personal invitation to become a Friend of Texas Babes, with a path to the top of the list next time — or ask for a private note on how to strengthen your next application.
What is Boots on the Beach?
Our service follows the water from Austin to the Gulf: monthly River Day cleanups of Austin waterways, a spring Turtle Patrol trip with UT's Marine Science Institute in Port Aransas, and Shark Week, our fall fundraiser for ocean conservation.
How much are dues?
Dues stay low and are set each semester with a membership vote, and at least 5% goes into the Babe Fund for full or partial dues waivers — no questions asked. Money should never be the reason someone can't belong.
