[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi is anyone with a kid at UVA following the parent posts on FB? I’m shocked that parents use terms like “top tier” frat and how they can’t believe their kid did not get into a top frat. It reminds me of when I was in high school 30 years ago and there were the popular kids. Anyway I just want to tell them that my kid who never had many friends is loving rush and when I asked him about these top tier frats his response is that the top tier is the one that’s right for you.

I am a little surprised parents would actually come right out and use those terms but tiering is absolutely a thing. The girls know. Everyone knows. But you aren’t really supposed to talk about it.

My DD is in a mid-tier sorority there. She says when she was rushing there was one house where the girls took PNM’s coats and one girl had the job of looking up the value online. PNMs are also carefully scrutinized for how many insta followers they have.

And yes, it’s very much like middle or high schools.

The lower tier sororities will be the one still doing COB after Rush ends because they didn’t meet quota. [/quote]

I’m on this FB group and this was actually one post where the mom was rambling about how because her child was an international student, he was immediately dropped from all the “high tier” fraternities.  Pretty much all the responses told her to stop using that term and that there was no rule about who could join.  And yes, I am sure there are connections that are made from high school, etc where some kids get in more easily than others, but IMO the post was bizarre.  [/quote]
