<p>McGinNC is right. If your reservations are as strong as they appear to be you need to take some immediate action and deal with the situation. Just going along for the ride as a hapless passenger is not a good way to begin the next four years. You still have time to deal with it and maturity demands that you address your sense of impending doom, lest time and money be wasted. </p>
<p>On the other hand, if you do decide to go, congrats! It’s a great place and I think you will be surprised how much broader the W&L experience is versus your initial expectations. </p>
<p>If it helps, I’m also the parent of a non drinking student who started out with a decidedly anti Greek disposition. She was accepted into every school to which she applied, and based on my limited knowledge about W&L at the time – it struck me as the outlier of the bunch – I too wondered what the attraction was. Turns out that it was the people she met. As much as some less familiar might want to define W&L as some kind of socially narrow monolith, the students actually comprise a very dynamic community. Although prevailing stereotypes and tag lines say otherwise, you don’t have to be cut from only a certain kind of cloth to be happy there. In fact, my daughter doesn’t fit the “mold” much at all, but she would debate any critic to the ground in defense of the great experience she’s enjoyed there. I think I would too – her enthusiasm is a bit contagious. </p>
<p>Good luck navigating your way.</p>
