[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op. please use common sense.  There are kid that are partiers at all colleges, including William and Mary, where 30 percent of the kids are involved in Greek life, a similar percentage to Wake and Richmond.  At all three of these schools, the majority of kids aren't greek.

At Wake the co-ed business and volunteer service "fraternities" are very popular, as are club sports and the outdoors club.  I would be surprised if William and Mary and URichmond are much different.  You will generally find more wealthy kids at private colleges, if that is an issue for your kid, stick to William and Mary.  In my experience, there is no correlation between family income level and partying.

I don't have personal experience with Richmond, but the kids at Wake care very much about grades and building resumes for grad school/post college professional life.[/quote]"Greek" at W&M isn't the same as "Greek" at Wake.[/quote]Sure it is.  Greek life is the same in substance every where.  You rush, you pledge, you spend a lot of time at parties and mixers.[/quote]It's D&D vs country club. It's not the same.[/quote]Are you a real person or a stereotype generator?  There may be nerdy fraternities at William and Mary (and there definitely is at  least one at Wake), but the kids I know that are greek at William and Mary are very mainstream.[/quote]Wake is pretty popular with the classmates of one of my DCs. They're all white, marginally athletic boys with floppy hair who like to golf and drink. It is what it is.[/quote]

What a sad commentary on your own life.  It is what it is.[/quote]

DP- I am sorry but that sentence describes like 50-60%+ kids at our wealthy public school.  It is what it is[/quote]
