Oh god, don't get me started on the frat and sorority people...

Even though the Greek System here (Fraternities/Sororities) isn't as strong as some of the big name schools, they have their hands in the majority of student activities. There are plenty of non-alcoholic events one can participate in, it just takes question asking and a general love for being involved.

I am not sure what the most popluar clubs are but i know MECHA and PsyChi have a good presence. I am involved with NSCS and we do many activities. I usually only take part in a few of the activities due to time constraints and schedule conflicts. Guest speakers are very well recieved, often selling out. You meet your friends mainly because they are doing the same major you are. Freshman celebrations occur each year and they are great due to free food and music. Fraternities and Sororities are not very important from what i can tell as they have limited presence in school. CSUN has a Performance Hall, and they bring many artists and acts, such as Tom Petty, Chinese Performers, jazz groups, and other acts. Nothing too great is close that is off campus, but because it is in California, you can got to Uiversal Studios, Hollywood, and other cool places like minigolf courses, or some close mountains.

Fraternities and sororities are very common at CSUN. Just walking around campus you see many people with their greek letters. I've met the majority of my closest friends because we take many of our classes together. We have a lot of things going on in the theater and we have guest speakers often too. I've gone to see some of the dance and musical shows on campus and I heard that Hillary Clinton came to CSUN

social life on CSUN is all about the greek system, it opens so many doors for you not only socially but when it comes to networking for jobs and stuff. If you want to get involved I would recomend you join the greek life.

There is a large range of activities at CSUN, including clubs, groups, frats/sororities, and internships.
Depending on what you are interested in, there is something for everyone.
Hott spots, such as clubs in Hollywood are 30-40 minutes away, while Universal Studios is only 20 minutes away. Disneyland is over an hour away, but you need a car to go to these places.
There is shopping in waking distance as well as a big mall and resturaunts that are 5-10 minutes away.
