[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD went to W&M class of 2020. Loved it. We were worried about the tourist town aspect of CW but that turned out to be no big deal. DD did say that social life for men is more difficult if they don’t do fraternity because frats invite women but not men and that’s the party scene. Greek life is pretty low key at W&M. It’s the more expensive state school though. [/quote]

There are parties outside of frats, but they are less frequent--especially during covid which has lessened dorm parties and parties for official organizations.  There are some off-campus house parties outside of greek life. Frat parties are "open admit" for the first month or so of the semester for rush and then it's guest list only for men not in the frat (this is mainly for liability and is required--basically any guy who is admitted has to be vouched for that they won't get too drunk, harass or date rape anyone).  My kid is in Class of 2022 (I can't believe he's graduating this year! Time flies!) and joined a frat despite not really thinking of himself as that 'type' because a lot of his friends from classes were in frats and they were nice and smart etc--not the stereotype--and it did provide access to more regular partying/social events. It has so far also proved helpful for networking.   It was also cheaper for him to join the frat and then live with friends in the off-campus frat house than to stay in the dorms or get an apartment.    [/quote]
