If she doesn't get a bid into a top tier sorority at UVA she's basically a ghost. And hometown girls will even promise your daughter a bid, get her to rush, then ball her. It's freaking vicious in C'ville.

This is an absurd comment. You can avoid the greek scene at UVA by not participating. All the houses are off campus. My DD has never set foot in a sorority or fraternity. She has her own niche of friends from the 300+ clubs UVA has. She doesn't even know anyone who is "in" a "top tier sorority" (never heard that said about UVA before either). It is not Washington & Lee at UVA.

If you want your daughter to marry well, the best chance she'll have to meet a groomed boy at a public U is via Greek life.

As someone who is prepared to admit that she'd like her daughter to marry well. Why would this be true? I can't really think of a good reason why a boy from a rich family would be more likely to join a fraternity than not.

Let me get this straight.....you want your daughter to go to college to find a wealthy husband?

What’s a groomed boy? Is it something I want for my daughter?

I fully expect my daughter to earn her way in the world and to never ever be dependent on a man. You people who think like the PP above - sending your DD to college for an MRS - are idiots. This is not the 1950s for God's sake!

The rich who seek out UVA seek it out for Greek life. If you’re rich and not into Greek life you’d go to a private a college.

False.

God, this isn’t Alabama or Ole Miss. Greek life is definitely there in Charlottesville, but it’s far smaller and for about 90% of the kids involved, it has nothing to do with tiers. And the vast majority of the students aren’t even in Greek life.

One of the reasons (besides being poor at all the difficult majors) UVA is so poorly ranked in world university rankings. The world isn't impressed .

Conditioned and groomed. A man of society. If you'd prefer your daughter be courted by soy boys who protest at Starbucks after earning a sociology degree be my guest.

You have literally no idea what you're talking about. Do you even live in DC or Nova? You certainly never attended UVA.

Jeff should just automatically delete every thread about UVA, because the same idiots show up and try and hijack every single one of them. DCUM is totally useless when it comes to any discussions of that university.

Sociology is a UVA type degree. It's not so good at the difficult majors.

You sound certifiable.
