College of William & Mary - WM Greek Life Reviews

School seriously boring. Since Williamsburg is more a colonial themed amusement park than actual town it relies on tourism. Therefore the greek life is harshly persecuted by the cops in fear that they will drive away tourism dollars. Even if this wasn't the case the library is the focal point of interest for this school. There are plenty of academically equivalent (or honestly better) colleges that have much healthier social scenes. Their parties are weird gatherings in dorm rooms and has a feel like a college of high schoolers. People are nice but certainly not as social as people and similar universities. The dominant feel of William and Mary is of a pressure cooker of stressed out kids afraid to let loose.

to have a social life you have to be in greek life. Parties are usually suck unless its kap sig, pika, beta, or sig chi, which you will usually have fun. Dont even bother showing up to the rest of the frats because the parties are pretty much a pre game. The only 5 sororities worth joining are kappa, theta, tri delt, pi phi, and chi o. As a person not in greek life, this is an unbiased opinion and fact. If you are thinking about coming to this school, keep in mind that these 4 frats and 5 sororities are the only ones worth rushing.

I don't know why everyone says william and mary is nothing compared to uva or jmu. I've been to parties at all three and honestly the only difference is that there are less people at william and mary because it's a smaller school. That being said, if you aren't in a frat you will never be allowed in a party as a guy, girls can get in to any party though. Sororities are more genuine and less hateful to each other than I think is true at other southern schools and they don't haze at all, I think most frats haze to an extent but nothing crazy and the guys are a lot nicer/less creepy/have more personalities than typical frat guys. Most stuff happens right off campus but greek life has a pretty big presence and is growing a lot. i think the girls here are hot but the guys could use some work

sub par greek life but its there

Greek life is fun for what it is here, but don't mistake greek life here for that of UVA, JMU, etc
