[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about Virginia Tech? They aren’t an exact match but do have some similar aspects and check a lot of the same boxes.[/quote]

But it’s a much larger school in a more remote location. [/quote]
 They’re both large schools—UNC has 20,000 undergraduates and Tech has 30,000. I concede they aren’t an exact match in terms of location, but they do have a lot of similarities (big sports school, traditional campus feel, and 20% of students active in Greek life). [/quote]

That 20% of students in Greek life isn’t accurate and is misleading. As of 2022 17% of undergraduates are in professional and social organizations, which includes (but is not limited to) Greek organizations but also includes honor and service societies, NPHC/Divine Nine and MGC. While UNC does have a Greek system, it isn’t as dominating or as even close to as large as many similar schools. So comparing it to UVA or Va Tech or UGA or another large public with a big Greek system doesn’t work.

VA Tech doesn’t have a huge Greek life either. I think that was the point of the comparison. Greek influence is very comparable between UNC and Tech and not huge at either.[/quote]
