[quote=Anonymous]The majority of kids aren’t in a sorority or fraternity, it’s true, but it is a huge portion of what drives the social life at UVA. I wasn’t Greek, but all my friends were. I mooch off of a lot of their parties for the bulk of my social outings. UV is often compared to places like Vanderbilt and other southern upper crust places, but there are plenty of middle class Northern Virginia kids there too, as well as international kids and kids were all over the country. It depends on what you’re comparing it to, but UVA is still very Greek and very preppy. Especially relative to Virginia Tech, JMU, William & Mary and some other in-state options. The biggest culture shock for me was the tailgating and day culture at football games, outings like Foxfield, and the pure alcohol consumption levels. Even if your kid doesn’t drink or doesn’t do big football games, it is a huge part of the culture, in the fall especially. [/quote]
