Is Washington & Lee University intolerable for a liberal?

W&L is definitely a work hard party hard sort of school. I would not go there if I were not going to be in a fraternity or sorority. Unlike BYU the faculty are actually relatively liberal or middle of the road, but the student body swings conservative for sure. Where they stand on social issues, I’m not sure. When my parents lived in Lexington there were always a Confederate flag hanging in the windows of at least one frat and the women wore their pearls to footballs games. That was a while ago now so maybe they’ve relaxed a bit.

There is a LGBTQ resource center on campus. Why not reach out to them? http://www.wlu.edu/lgbtq-resource-center
