<p>I’m a potential Vandy parent and an actual Vandy alum. Obviously, saying that, my information about the social life at Vandy is very dated, so take it with a grain of salt, a large one…</p>
<p>That said, when I went to Vandy, I believe a much higher percentage of kids were in the Greek system than are now, and I wasn’t, and yet I had a great four years socially. You make friends in your freshmen dorm. You hang out with them. You meet girls. You date them. You join organizations, making more friends. You go out to concerts, movies, dinners, and the like. You go to some frat functions as a guest. Once you get to live in the Towers, you throw big parties yourself, seeing how many people you can cram into one “living room” (I think 50 or so worked). You go to football, basketball, baseball, and rugby games with your friends. You play tennis, or run, or workout with others. Really, I don’t see the big issue. I didn’t know any indies who sat around sobbing on the weekends. I certainly didn’t. </p>
<p>College life, even at Vandy, was what you made of it. It’s probably still that way.</p>
