[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has any of your daughters complained about the high girl to boy ratio at their colleges?

Many of the colleges my daughter is looking at have way more girls than boys and this concerns her.[/quote]

Yes, my daughter goes to one of the schools listed and it’s recently become a source of annoyance. She’s involved in Greek life and there are about twice as many girls in the sororities as there are guys in the frats. So, the boys have all the power because they can pick and chose who to invite to parties and she feels like she really needs to put herself out there to get attention. What that means, I don’t know and am not sure I want to. Yes, I have told her that she should expand her social circle and move beyond just Greek life. But that is a different question. In any event, the imbalance is a problem. [/quote]

I'm sorry to hear this. I wish people would realize that gender disparity at college impacts males and females alike, and has all kinds of unwanted impacts (social, political, economic, etc.).[/quote]
