Is W&M bro-y?

[Anonymous]

Considering for OOS ds. The UVA post got me spooked.

My son got into both and leaning towards WM currently - but likely will get to play his sport there. He’s an athlete, but not a bro.

I also don’t like a big Greek scene and he’s similar.

UVA has a much bigger “bro-y” scene.

Not at all, OP.

Per a very non-bro-ish kid we know who is there now (my son's friend's brother) it is VERY bro-y. But that's a sample size of 1.

Based on the students I know there and have talked to, I would think the opposite.

It’s surprisingly Greek- nearly 30%? But I have a feeling they might not be your typical fraternities? I have no idea. Also curious about the bro culture for my kid

[Anonymous]

My son is there now and loves it, and he is the opposite of bro-ey. He's found lots of friends there, too.

Opposite of bro.

[Anonymous]

It's the opposite of bro.

I have a son who is very much a bro and he hated the vibe at William and Mary.

[Anonymous]

Now I have heard it all.

No, OP. W&M is not filled with the “frat bro” types.

[Anonymous]

33% of males are in fraternities and they dominate the social scene.

And yes, the frat males constantly hate on W&M for not being ho-ey enough. So not only is it bro-ey, it's toxic bros.

[Anonymous]

No. Like any school, some guys will be bro-y, and you'll probably find many of them in frats. But that's certainly not the majority of guys there by any stretch.

[Anonymous]

it’s not and exactly why my son didn’t even apply. He’s at Duke and loves it.

What does "bro-y" mean?
