[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on wealth? How do they know how wealthy your family is? Besides, this is UVA, a state public school. Most people I know who are genuinely wealthy opt to go to private colleges. Most people I know who are gunning for UVA, WM, VA Tech are donut hole families (so not uber wealthy).[/quote]

Well you are probably one of those people who think that UVA only appeals to Va residents. [b]Most of the “wealthy” kids at UVA come from out of state and those top tier sororities are almost exclusively populated with OOS kids from NYC, New England, CA, IL etc[/b]. [/quote]

This absolutely was NOT the case when I was at UVA 30 years ago. The rich girls in Kappa, Theta, and Tri-Delt (and Pi Phi, which was the other “top” house back then) were disproportionately from private southern schools—VA, obviously, but also lots of Texas, Georgia, Louisiana, and South Carolina.

Is it true that these houses are all northern rich kids now?[/quote]
I have a relative in Kappa and she and most of her friends are from New England, a lot of Fairfield county, NYC and NE boarding schools. So yeah a lot of northeastern girls. I’m sure there are southern rich too but the NE boarding school kids populate the top tier in both sororities and fraternities.[/quote]
