[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For us it’s not a case of scared, it’s a case of social fit. DD isn’t interested (fairly introverted, in HS is in the artsy, theater, music, geeky crowd). So she always checks percentages of students in Greek life and asks questions about how big it is at any school she looks at, and no Greek at all is a bonus. [/quote]

Semantics.

It's not that she won't fit in, she's "scared" she won't fit in.  She's scared of Greek life.[/quote]
No, it’s that she’s not interested. Just like she’s not interested in sports, so she doesn’t hang out with the jocks in high school. She’s not scared she won’t fit in - she’ll fit in with the artsy theater people. [/quote]

So why can’t she go to school with kids who are in the Greek system? Colleges are large enough for everyone to find their people. The only ones being closed-minded on this thread are those who refuse to consider schools with strong Greek networks.[/quote]
She can. Did you read? I said no Greek is a bonus, but it’s not the goal. But she doesn’t want a school where everything revolves around Greek life, that would be a bad fit. Do you tell future English majors that they are scared and close-minded if they don’t consider attending RPI? [/quote]

Silly analogy.  [/quote]

Why? Sounds pretty good to me. [/quote]
