Auburn University Top Questions

What are the most popular student activities/groups?

Paige

I feel that SGA and the football team are probably one of the most popular organizations/clubs on campus. I saw SGA because so many people tryout to be in it and I say football because, I mean come on, do I even have to explain? Auburn housing life is fun, but people are more cautious now about locking their doors due to the Lauren Burke incident. If I am awake on a Tuesday at 2 am I am either studying or leaving a social. I feel that the greek life is important but that's because I'm in it. I feel that people do party here a lot but that's probably every college. If you aren't drinking on a Saturday night, you can watch a movie with friends or even be studying for a test coming up. If I am off campus, I am most likely at a gym working out.

People do leave there dorm doors open and im one of them. Its really not safe but people really dont think about someone wanting to go in their rooms. People party ALOT. i love going out and it makes auburn so much better. I love going out and seeing everyone there.

Aubrey

I think Greek life is very popular on campus. I do not leave my door open to my dorm, because I do not know very many people on my hall. I met my closest friends through a friend from home and through my sorority..and some in class..and some from going to lacrosse games and parties with hostesses. Different people party different amounts. I want to a fraternity party last weekend. You can go to a movie, or UPC events on weekends and not drink..or bowl or putt putt?? Whatever you want!

I think Greek Life is popular on campus and UPC is a popular club. I am involved in TIgersplashers (Swim Team Hostess) and I love this organization. I met my closet friends from my sorority and the girls that leave in my dorm. Last weekend I went to the Relay for Life, the Rodeo and bowling.

I have a great social life at Auburn, and truly enjoy my sorority.

The most popular groups on campus are Sororities/Fraternities and groups involved with SGA, etc. I'm involved in a Sorority and love it! I've met so many people and life-long friends through it! Some students leave their door open, if they know most of the people on their hall. Athletic events are extremely popular. There is plenty of stuff to do if you go on a date. I met my closests friends through my sorority. Some people party every night, some never do.. there's a good mix. Fraternities/sororities are pretty important to me, but not the most important to many others. Last weekend I went to the Rodeo. It's one of my most memorable times here at Auburn!

Lindsay

The football team is obviously very highly thought of. I believe the Greek system is very prominent on campus. I met my closest friends through it. Freshmen and sophmore year are probably the biggest party years. We would go out on an average of 5 nights a week.

greeks and nongreeks get along. the social scene is not driven by greeks. Many times sororities and fraternities will have socials at bars but they are all inclusive meaning that you will not be turned away or looked down on if you aren't greek. I love that! i am greek but i have many non-greek friends. Some people party everynight others party only on weekends and some don't party at all. You can find whatever social group you want. Football!!! a huge part of Auburn life. I wasn't an auburn football fan before i came and now i could never look back. It is a huge part of the culture here during the fall semester. Most people date versus hook up.

The most popular things that students are involved in would be sororities or fraternities. I met my closes friends through my sorority mostly. Depending on the person, people can party all the time. Last weekend I went to a fraternity party and the rodeo.

Katie

I like Auburn because it doesnt matter if you dont go out everynight, but if you wanted to their always would be something to do, and you would always have someone to go with.

Katie

Atheltic events are very important here, especially football. Everyone goes. Many students are either involved in greek life. If you are awake at 2 am on a tuesday you are either at the library studying or hanging out with your friends.

Anne

Greek organizations are very popular, but many people have negative ideas about them. Guest speakers, theater, and athletic events other than football, however, have VERY LITTLE participation. I've been to a few but there's really nothing that enticing to go to any of them. Intramurals are fun and many people seem to participate in them. Party's happen OFTEN, sometimes I find myself wishing I had more friends that didn't go out as much, because I don't like to go out drinking all the time. There's plenty of other fun things to do without drinking but I feel most people I know don't feel the same way. As for the dating scene?...what dating scene? I've been here for 3 years and haven't been asked out on one date. And my best friends, I met them through my sorority and through mutual friends. Most of my best friends are not in sororities at all or in sororites other than mine.

i love the fact that there is always something going on in auburn. there are tons of organizations to join on campus so it is really easy to stay involved. the sports are awesome too and there is always a good game to go watch during the week and weekends. i met my closest friends through my sorority. i am so happy i joined a sorority because it has been a great way to meet people. many people would say fraternities and sororities are really important but i have met plenty of people not in one that i hang out with all the time. i think it is definitely beneficial in meeting people, but if a person is outgoing and willing to meet people on their own, it does not matter. and yes, people here do like party, but so do most college students. like i said earlier i think there is a good balance between academics and being able to maintain a social life. the bars are always fun and the fraternities usually have something going on too. its a great place to be.

Kara

people party every night but the parties here are much different than other places. they aren't out of control and they are just fun ways to hang out with everyone you love!

Katie

Greek and social life is huge on campus. Wednesday nights are a very popular weeknight to go out. Going to the bars is a huge part of social activities with socials and drink specials happening almost any night.

Andy

nobody can leave their doors open anymore bc security is such a worry now... athletic events (mostly fb) are very important, as Auburn has a lot of pride.. dating scene is pretty damn small.. whoever you are dating is probably friends with/used to date/has slept with someone you know... which i dont like... greek life was impt to me bc i transferred in as a soph and it helped me meet a TON of people.. last wknd i went to the rodeo (one of my favorite traditions)... if im awake at 2am on a tuesday im either studying or at the bar

Melanie

Lots to do for everyone!

Riley

I live in a dorm and no one locks their doors. It's safe. There's always something fun going on, and the night life is awesome.
