Wake and BC attract extremely similar kids. There may not be Greek life at BC. but there is a very active partying scene.

Kids from the northeast don’t want to go to school in North Carolina unless it’s Duke; they do want to go to school in Mass.

Here’s the ranking odfwhich states send the most kids to Wake: NY (2nd), NJ (4th) and MA(6th). Is it fun for you living in fact free world?

Emory was also out of reach if these were your options.

Correct. Much better than BC

Could the Emory kids hack it at UGA or GT?

Yes. Easily. Some full pays want to be around other full pays.

Why? Can’t hack it at a flagship?

Because being around kids who can only afford in state tuition is gross. Marry up

LOL what a moronic post. Most top flagships attract wealthy students that are richer AND smarter than you.

Wow. You couldn’t afford Emory? Have fun in Athens (not Greece)

Maybe you southerners have yet to get the message or, more likely, you are new to the college search. But BC does not need your help.

BC needs A LOT of help if it is ever to be respectable and crack the T25 like they’ve said they wanted to for years. It’s a hot school for mediocre Catholic kids from second string suburbs of Providence.

"Only" 30 percent is a lot when those 30 percent totally dominate campus social life.

Really? What do the other 70% do with their time?

Honest question. I don’t understand how this works on a campus the size of Wale Forest. Do the other 4,000 kids not have friends? Do they not socialize, have parties, go to events etc.?

It’s hard for me to imagine that 70% of Wales undergraduates spend four years feeling lonely or left out because they’re not in a fraternity or sorority.

Can anyone whose kid is/was non-Greek at Wake please weigh in here?

Reminds me of Duke in the 1990s. (Which is a GREAT thing, by the way!)

BC, BU, and NEU are hardly prestigious and not even close to top 30.

My ds goes to an SEC flagship where Greek life is about 10-15% of the population and it feels like much more. The issue is strength in numbers so they are emboldened, they are loud (literally and figuratively), have the most organized parties that promote exclusion, and generally attract attention to themselves because of their conformity especially right now during pledgeship. This is fine when you are in it but super annoying when you are not. Before you protest, I was Greek at this same school.

They’re not hardly prestigious. They aren’t prestigious at all.

Consider the following scenario. The best parties are at frats. Greek men can go. All women can go. It's like shooting fish in a barrel for frat bros. Much harder for independents.

Aw, there it is. Same pp comes to every thread trying to disparage BC by noting its roots in educating “poor kids”. Guess what? BC continues its outreach to poor and 1st generation students. See Messina College. If you knew anything about the people who choose BC, you’d know this is a positive, not a negative.

If #37 & #41 are “not even close to top 30” then sure. BC and BU never claimed to be anything else. These 2 schools are great in their own ways and seem to stay in their lanes. For some reason that triggers pps who insist on starting a fake “prestige” war. BC & BU don’t care about your made up definitions and snobbery. But don’t disrespect their city or hockey.

Yes, I can imagine this hypothetical scenario. Anyone with a kid who actually experienced it IRL at Wake?

Also, if frats throw the “best parties,” at Wake, can someone with a non-Greek kid there tell me about the other parties and social events your kid attended?

Finally, how does this apply to women who do not join a sorority? Sounds like they can go to whatever parties they want. So what’s the problem if they don’t go Greek?
