[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was there in the 80s and remember all types. Only a few who i thought were VERY quirky. Most were smart, mainstream students at that time. [/quote]

I'm the 2000-2010s poster. I definitely agree with you that it was much more mainstream in the 80s and 90s. Idk what changed in the decades after that, maybe some greater culture shift. I know Greek life shrunk a ton then. But I definitely think the "quirky" type of student doesn't have as much interest in a school like W&M anymore. I'm sure it's a factor of the stuff that was previously not big at W&M in previous years (greek life, sports, pre-professionalism) blowing up[/quote]

When was Greek life, sports, and pre-professionalism not significant at W&M?  [/quote]

A lot of these were less of a thing pre-covid. Go on College Confidential and you'll see people list W&M over and over as a recommendation for students who don't like Greek life or a pre-prof culture. Student section at games was empty outside of homecoming too.[/quote]

W&M is not Greek dominated, but it is still around 1/3rd Greek and long has been.  Greek life is significant.  It is not a Power 5 school, but it likely has one of the highest percentages of students participating in D1 athletics in the state.  Athletics is significant, but not in an SEC football way.  The attitude may not be pre-professional, but it has relatively high percentages of students going into the professions of medicine, law, business, and academia. [/quote]
