[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]

Maybe, but at least for women the Greek percentage has gone up pretty much every year for the last few at W&M. The freshman class is probably much higher than 1/3rd of women. So that's something I'd keep in mind if you really didn't want to be surrounded by people in Greek life because with this current freshman class (and my daughter does recruitment for her sorority and has been told the incoming class of 2030 is likely going to have even higher numbers) it's pretty hard to totally avoid for a woman.
