usukmom, have you thought about Swarthmore? Your daughter might be interested in reading about the Pterodactyl Hunt, and the group originally formed as SWIL, but recently reborn as “Psi Phi.” And to address her other main interest, Swarthmore’s women’s teams range from decent to truly outstanding. Women’s soccer won the ECAC’s last fall and has gone to the conference championships two years running, just to pick one example. I don’t know what your D’s sport is, but the Centennial Conference, while not consistently NESCAC or Liberty level, is genuinely competitive in D3. (And the best of D3 is far better than you may be thinking.)
