My daughter is a freshman at W&L. She graduated from a selective private high school. She was very much into academics and varsity athletics, being a two sport varsity athlete for all four years. She loves the small class sizes at W&L, and the fact that her professors get to know her. She feels that W&L is nothing like high school. She has made many new friends, and recently completed an incredible sorority rush, having her pick of three sororities; any of which she would have been glad to pledge! In fact, she is part of a group of eleven great friends who all pledged the same sorority! We attended Parent’s Weekend and had a blast- dancing to Doug Clark and the Hotnuts (their fifty-first year at W&L Parent’s Weekend!!) and yes, we drank, partied, and pretended we were back in school. In other words, we had fun!! We are greatful that our daughter was accepted off the waitlist to her dream school, one that she thoroughly enjoys.
