I plan to join Greek life



I don’t know whether this is a result of minorities not rushing or what, but it just seems like there aren’t a lot of minorities involved in Greek life at Vandy. And then those that are involved tend to be in one of the ‘lesser’ sororities. It just seems like Vandy is pretty white and the sororities are even whiter.



I would like the campus to be a closed campus. Like, closed off to the people outside of the school. I also want a lot of greenery because living in New York City deprives you of that.



Vandy is, for the most part, closed. On the weekends, you’ll see non-students walking around campus or going to the one of the churches on campus. In addition, Vandy is either a state or national arboretum.



I also wonder about the atmosphere at these places.



Outside of the pre-meds, who I’d imagine are grade conscious/competitive at every school, most Vandy kids are pretty relaxed about school and while school might get mentioned every once in a while, I wouldn’t say it’s the focal point or main topic of discussion for most students. Vandy’s a “work hard, play hard” school.
