<p>I really want to join one i would be 24 if i get accepted to uva.I was in the army for 3 years and add another 2 for going to community college.Would i fit in?</p>
<p>There are multiple, lengthy threads about Greek orgs at UVa. Some are in the “Class of” forums above the main area, some are in this area. Just do a search…and keep in mind that opinions about the different orgs vary from one student to another.</p>
<p>Were any of those question relating to a foreign boy whos older then most pledges?</p>
<p>Two thoughts.</p>
<p>First, get involved with something on grounds. It’s a great way to meet people and it will keep you busy. As a transfer student you don’t have the luxury of that first year experience and you’ll really have to make an effort.</p>
<p>Fitting in? It really depends on you. Coming in as a transfer student and rushing as an upperclassman will limit your options. Only a few chapters hold Fall Rush and some won’t recruit upperclassman at all. It’d strongly encourage you to go out though. You won’t find better friends and it will give you a place to come back to long after you graduate.</p>
<p>While i am a transfer I have a good feeling i would need to stay for at least 3 years in the university .And i might even go for 4 (to triple major).Would getting into one of those be that hard?</p>
<p>Third Year transfer students are restricted to four semesters. If you pick you classes carefully you can still double major though.</p>
<p>-</p>
<p>Getting into a fraternity is all about being social and fun to hang out with. Going to the right prep school certainly helps with some though.</p>
<p>Your age prolly won’t hurt as long as you don’t seem too mature.</p>
<p>EWLW what if only say 1/2 of the classes transfer?</p>
<p>You can also transfer as a second year giving you six semesters to complete your BA degree.</p>
<p>I went to UVa many years ago, so my thoughts are out of date. My house had a number of fraternity members in grad school participating in events, and they were more than welcome. People liked their perspective and their stories - they had more to add than stories about drinking in high school.</p>
<p>At that time, UVa fraternities greatly varied - some were full of serious students, some partied every night, some were rednecks, some were preppy. If you go through rush, you will probably find some houses that you want to walk out of after 1 minute, and others where you feel comfortable.</p>
<p>Especially coming in as a transfer, I’d recommend considering a fraternity. Many people make most of their friendships in first year dorms, and you need a way to assemble your own set of friends. Also, it is great to have a place to come back to for meeting up with old friends after graduation.</p>
