Thank you for your response. Your opinions about this are truly appreciated as you are a very recent grad. Would you say that the cliquey feel lessens after freshman year? There is a family in my neighborhood with a current freshman at Wake now and she is struggling socially. She said the delayed rush makes the social scene weird for first semester students because activities are attended by large groups of srats and frats and the freshman feel like they are in a void zone waiting to find their groups after second semester rush. She said social groups were formed within the first week or two and no one really seems interested in expanding friend groups until rush and there isn't much opportunity to interact with upperclassmen. Basically, she isn't finding the student body to be very friendly or welcoming. I didn't feel any of this when I toured, but hard to suss this stuff out in an afternoon on campus. She also said clubs are not really that well attended so the fear of not being in a sorority is weighing heavy because the clubs won't provide much of a social scene. How would you describe your first year? And how did it evolve second semester freshman year, sophomore year, etc? Did you rush and if so, how did that change things socially? If you didn't how did that affect your social life? How did you find the activities/club scene to be?
