[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC was admitted ED to UVA and is interested in joining the Greek system. At my college, the Greek presence was pretty non-existent. Do any of you have kids in frats or sororities at UVA?  I hear they are not as crazy as the SEC schools, thank God, but are they elitist, expensive, exclusive?  My kid is a URM as well. I see some of the members posting about their summer vacations to destinations we could never afford. DC is very outgoing, social, team sports player and has held different leadership positions. We will support her decision to rush, but also want to give her a heads up on what this all entails. [/quote]

FWIW, OP, my DD graduated from UVA last year, and talked a lot about sororities because my own experience in one was miserable. As you know, only 30-35 percent of the UVA students participate. My DD was not one of them, chose not to go through rush, found her own people and activities and had a wonderful experience without setting four once in Greek row (which is off campus). It’s nothing like Washington & Lee where 90 percent participate and they are obscenely expensive. Tell her to go to the Club Days right after matriculation where the 900 clubs and activities sit at table and tell the first year students about their organizations. DD was interested in the student newspaper, crew and a debate society. In the end the debate society and a political society won her heart.  She had a fabulous experience in both. Good luck to your daughter[/quote]
