Not like many SEC schools in a few ways. Many SEC schools have a high in-state population, so where you end up can be determined before you set foot on campus and by your high school reputation, camps, clubs and network of legacies, alum and friends. It can be rigid and social mobility can be difficult because everyone already knows everyone else and their background, and at some SEC schools alum have heavy hands in recruitment. At Vandy it can be very random and much more socially fluid as people are from all over the country and connections may mean knowing one to a few girls, and they may not even be in the same sororities. There are plenty of girls at Vandy who are in different tiers then they would have been if they'd have gone to their state's SEC. Some by choice based on hometown legacy or alum chapter strength, which can be a big deal depending on where you're from, and some because they didn't know anyone or stayed low key in the fall. Add in spring rush, no real greek housing, the bigger focus on academics, and it's just less of an experience and less defining at Vandy. Not a bad thing, just not as big of a deal. Maybe even a good thing.
