[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Duke grad from the 90s. I had earmarked Wake for DD who is in high school b/c it does feel very similar to my own college experience at Duke. But, I’m concerned it’s going to be too Greek and country club-esque for her. Can anyone talk about their experience socially? [/quote]
Wake is still very greek.  From what I hear life is much easier on independent women than on independent men (depending on interests).  Women generally get a bid somewhere (it may not be their first or second choice, though) and even if they choose to be independent they won't have any trouble going to parties.  Will they feel left out sometimes if they are independent?  Yes, most likely.  Will they be social outcasts?  No, absolutely not (unless they're weird, etc.).

As to men, being independent will be a tougher experience because greek men tend to drive the social scene and fraternities tend to exclude people who aren't in their/a fraternity.  So an independent man who is into the party scene is going to have a tougher time.  Independent men can still definitely have a social life at Wake but it will be a very different experience than those in a fraternity.

And of course like every school what fraternity/sorority you are in will impact what your social life is like, the kind of people you are around, etc.[/quote]
