[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yankees be so gullible. They think this southern school is exclusive. Upper crust southerners do not send their kids to Wake. Or Duke for that matter. Those are schools for Yankees who like to think they’re classy now. [/quote]
Sure, the top of the Southern wealth pyramid are going to Yale and the like. But that only fuels the resentment that the 2nd-tier wealthy at schools like Wake have against non-wealthy Southern WASPs further. They think WASPs from the Northwest look down on them (which, let's be frank, is true), WASPs from the West/Midwest generally don't bother with Wake, and they hate the rest (Catholic, Jews, Blacks) for the obvious racist reasons.

The only reason that anyone would suggest Wake over Chicago is the social life. Wake is 50% Greek, 1st semester freshman cannot even rush so that's 57% of the eligible population, and more students tend to join Greek Life in later years until most people you meet are involved in Greek Life. Social Life at Wake [i]is[/i] Greek life. And Greek Life at Southern schools is cutthroat.

I'm just saying make sure the students are the correct demographic before they commit to that. Otherwise the only supposed plus for Wake becomes a huge negative.

NoVa kids complain about how fratty UVA is and how Greek Life is so dominant despite the school being 35% Greek, filled with NoVa public school kids, and being 3x the size.
