[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Toured UVA this past fall.  Agree it is going downhill and needs a good pressure washing.   [b]The secrecy society grafitii is definitely a turn off as well.[/quote][/b]

Either you didn't tour or you weren't listening.  Those are benevolent philanthropic societies of great historical and financial importance to the university.  They have raised 100s of millions of dollars for the welfare of UVA, Charlottesville, and financial aid.  Please read and learn.  It is considered a great honor to be tapped for one of them.  They are secret because they teach philanthropy.  In some of the societies, even the member's family don't learn their family member was a member and donated time and money to the University for decades following graduation.  A wreath appears at the funeral.  That is all.  It's a great educational tool for everyone in Charlottesville and the surrounding areas.   And by the way is a world UNESCO site.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_societies_at_the_University_of_Virginia.  The only university in America that is.  UVA is consistently ranked one of the most beautiful campuses in America: "UVA is regarded as one of the most beautiful and prestigious universities in the world. In 1987, UNESCO named the University (in conjunction with Monticello) a World Heritage Site. This rare distinction has been bestowed upon only the world's most culturally significant landmarks..

Please stop the UVa bashing.  It's not constructive.  My DD wasn't even a contender for it but as a Virginian, I am very proud of the 33 institutions of higher learning that we offer, as well as the Governor's schools.  It's just not cool to bash like this, especially when it's clear you don't know what you are talking about.[/quote]

DP.  Good grief.   :roll: [/quote]
