Greek life is common. Football is extremely popular. There are many active academic clubs.

Well of course all sporting events is one of the top activities to do at Auburn, but you also have smaller activities. Each college in Auburn University has clubs so that you can gain knowledge about your future career and also a chance to spend time with students who share the same interests as you.

FOOTBALL. If you come here, you have to like football. It is more of a religion than a sport down here. The students are are very active in government, student affairs, athletics, greek life ect. I would say that it is one of the most involved campuses I have ever seen. The dating scene is level with the hookup scene, you will find both depending on where you look. Closest friends are from your residence hall and people you meet through class. Good thing about Auburn is there is always time to meet brand new people. People party a good amount, mostly frat parties. To be honest, there is not much to do around here even if you party, so you have to keep yourself entertained.

Sorority & fraternity's are the larges groups/organizations. There are of course degree specific groups and clubs. Sustainability & recycling are a big part of our university. The student activities on & off campus are a wide variety and often. There is typically free movies every week for most of the semester and occasional concerts from famous individuals, bands and groups of all types and styles.

Typical football u, if you don't belong to a frat, you are viewed as anti-social. Don't look for diversity of thought here. You are in Alabama so interracial dating is still frowned upon and you will probably get harassed. The biggest student event is some redneck-fest called the Alpha Psi Rodeo or Auburn Rodeo. Don't go to it if you are brown skinned, you will get jacked by drunk rednecks. The Star and Bar flags are out and flying everywhere in Auburn during the Rodeo and I have been called every name in the book when I made a mistake of going to it one night just to check it out.

It's imperative that you learn to binge drink and almost necessary to go Greek if you want to have things to do every weekend.

The most popular organization is college republicans. I think that it is not that important to be in a fraternity as most of the campus is not, but it is still a great thing. I met my closest friends in my sorority.
