She loves it. DD is second year at UVA and has a new group of friends this year from her on-grounds job in addition to the friends she made last year from her dorm and her clubs. She has leadership roles in a few clubs and her sorority and it is a full and good year for her so far. Classes are more challenging than they were first year and she has one professor who is not her favorite, but managing that is a good life lesson for her. She is definitely at the right school for her and she's enjoying it. [/quote]
I also have a daughter at UVA. Agree that there are lots of ways to get involved - Greek or not. My kid did pledge a sorority her first year but I think she’d be fine without it.
Housing kind of sucks for her this year. Definitely a couple of bad professors but that’s life. [/quote]

Parent of 3rd year girl who skipped Greek life.  She is very happy and has great friends so I think Greek or not, you can find your people.  She actually goes to a lot of fraternity parties even though she is not Greek.  They don’t care.  I think they will always add girls to [b]the door list.[/b][/quote]

What is this?  Are frat parties invite only?  That is so elitist. [/quote]

Frat party doormen generally let in any girl(s), but limit entrance by boys to a specific list, because the higher ratio of girls increases the chances for the frat brothers to score a random hookup with a drunk college girl.[/quote]
