[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer the original question, here's how my  UVA kid did it. First she participated in a Facebook page set up by accepted students. O er the summer, she found many of her friends there sharing her particular interests. Ny the time she arrived at camous there were ten students who had friended up this way. They all went out as a group after move-in day. Then, during the first week, over thecourse of 3 days, UVA has its 700 clubs out put out tables where student reps talked to interest students about their activities. She picked six to try: the student newspaper, an athletic club, a political club, a musical club, a philanthropy club  and something else I can't remember. The gamechanger turned out to be the Jefferson Society - the longest continuing running debate Society in America. That became her real out-of-class focus and from whence most if her friends would come. She became an officer in Jef Soc and in the political club. She worked in politics at Larry Sabato's center which lead to summer internships in DC. She's now at UVA law. The Greek houses are all off campus; you really can go all four years without ever going to a Greek house or event.[/quote]
