[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people seem to really like Greek life, but the appeal is by no means universal. Greek life is the primary reason DD is not applying to UVA.  She was horrified by the frat boy culture she saw.

Same with DS.  [/quote]

Curious how they "saw" the culture, PPs?  Did they spend a night or weekend on campus?  We recently did a day tour and were pretty impressed.  DS definitely doesn't want a big frat/party scene, though, 
and it's impossible to get a sense from the outside what the culture is like.  Every school we have visited says the same thing:  30% go Greek, it's no big deal either way, they're really inclusive, blah blah blah.[/quote]

Blah blah blah.  People will make a big deal that their kids attends some SLAC with no Greeks and turn a blind eye to the rampant drug use at many of those schools, in part because the tolerance for misbehavior is far higher there.  It's a wonder schools like Bard, Hampshire, Vassar and Reed don't spontaneously self-combust.[/quote]

Vassar doesn't belong on that list.  Its been drifting toward preppiedom
