[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Yes, but my understanding is that a larger share of the Greek life at W&M is service oriented and that fewer involved students live in the houses compared to some other schools. Never attended so I don't profess to really know, but from recent college visits to both UVA and W&M our impression was that greek life played a larger role in the undergraduate life of the school at UVA than at W&M. Vassar and W&M are very different. My understanding is that Vassar is more like Wesleyan on steroids -- very liberal, social action oriented, and has significantly higher average test scores than WA&M as a whole (though perhaps not for out of state applicants). W&M came across to us as a more middle of the road political feel. [/quote] The reason more students don't live in the Greek houses is twofold: the houses aren't as large as at other schools. Also, the houses are inconveniently located to the academic buildings. Most prefer to live in regular dorms. And there are service projects for the Greeks, but certainly not to the point that I would describe them as more service oriented than social oriented, not by a long shot. There is a service-only co-ed fraternity, but honestly, it was considered undesirable to be a member. I know, that's awful.[/quote]
