Emory University Top Questions

The most popular group on campus is greek life an this has an overwhelming presence on social life and interactions. Most students in my dorm leave their doors closed. Most school events are not attended and aren't popular. The dating scene is decent but its often tough in college. I met my closest friends here because they are in my fraternity or they live on my floor. At 2am on tuesday I am either studying, at maggies, or playing video games. Greek life is very important for being plugged into a social scene and helps to develop a lot of close friends. On a saturday night, you can go to the library or play scrabble or simply go to parties but not drink.

The most popular groups and orginizations are the fraternities and sororities. I am involved with the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity and so far my experience with them has been one of the best experiences of my life. Almost all students in dorms leave their doors open. Athletic events are never popular. There are no big guest speakers that come, the theater does not attract that many people. The dating scene is pretty good as well. I met my closest friends through my fraternity. If I am awake at 2am on Tuesday I am probably out socializing or studying. There are many traditions and events like wonderful events that happen during the year. People party at most 4 nights a week, and at least probably 1 or 2. Fraternities and sororities are probably the single most important social outlet on campus. Last weekend I went to a couple of different fraternities parties and I hung out with my friends. You can do plenty on a Saturday night without drinking, in fact you can go out with your friends and just socialize and not drink. I eat off campus a lot.

Once everybody gets to know each other everybody has a lot of trust in each other, meaning people leave their doors open. Athletic events are not very popular, people seem to care more about their work and what they are interested in instead of going to see Emory athletic teams play. The artsy events (concerts, plays, etc.) are not as popular as I expected at a liberal arts college, although since everybody is very pre-professional I guess it makes sense.

Clearly, frats run this school. If you want any social life, you join one. There is some stuff going on off campus, but for the most part I stay on campus cause I dont find a reason not to.

Aepi runs school. Dorm life is pretty solid. In most places, aside from the pit of longstreet, all the doors are open and kids are really close with their floors. Athletic events arent nearly as popular as they should be. We should increase teh student body, not by alot, but enough to get some solid sports taems, and a freakin football team that can compete. THe schools rankings would probably shoot up if we have some legit sports, and maintain the smaller side of student body. If im awake at 2 am on a tuesday or thrusday morning im doing work. 2 am on any other day of the week im probably out. Partying is pretty good, though emory has been getting pretty strict. I dont go off campus much because freshman arent allowed cars.

Greek Life is big. Basketball team and Aepi frat. At the beginning of school yes to meet kids. Not that big. Freshman yr is 90{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} random hook ups. Other kids from my floor. At a bar or chillen in my dorm with friends. Dooleys week. Tues, thurs, fri, and sat. very important. away for basketball games. dont know.

good social scene. everyones nice and open to making new friends. alot of good bars and clubs nearby.

There are popular acapella groups as well as IM sports. There are also two step teams which are really cool. There are also religous groups such as Muslim Student Asociation, Hillel, Emory Students for Israel, Pakistani Student Association and Black Student Association as well. Most of the social scene revolves around fraternities and sororities. The good thing about them is that there is usually a fraternity or sorority for almost any student. There are restaurants, bars, movie theaters, sports games, malls in around Atlanta that you can go to off campus.

Fraternities are very popular on campus and they generate most of the nightlife. My dorm floor has an open door policy. Dooley's ball happens every year which is like a week of social functions. People party 0-4 nights a week for the most part.

Most popular would probably be indian dance groups, basketball team...traditions=Wonderful Wed. I hang out in the city of campus there are many little places to go like little 5, buckhead, etc

Greek life is pretty popular at Emory. Athletic events aren't as popular as in other larger schools. Emory has a very social environment. People party as much as they study. Popular places to go are on-campus parties, clubs in downtown, and bars.

If you're awake at 2am on a Tuesday, you are studying/doing homework. People party a lot at Emory. Fraternities are important because they host the parties. Drinking is pretty much the only option for a Saturday night. They try to put on events but most students party. Alcohol abuse is rampant at Emory. For freshman there is hardly any way to get off campus and it's really boring.

There are not any "most popular" organizations or groups on campus. I can't really think of one that is predominant, I just know that there are a lot out there for pretty much anything a person wants to do. There are religious groups, academic groups, fine arts groups, athletic groups, pretty much anything you want to do. Students in freshman dorms leave their doors open, students in other dorms are usually rooming with people they want to and the doors are kind of heavy to prop open for that random person walking down the hall. Your friends would probably be in your room already. Theater is pretty vibrant but I would say that the same people attend the events on a regular basis rather than the entire student body partaking of them. I haven't found anyone I want to date, but then, I'm not a social butterfly and don't know half the student body either. I met my closest friends in my dorm freshman year. We still hang out and genuinely like each other. Other's I've met through those same friends. If you're awake on at 2 am on a Tuesday morning, you're hanging out with your friends while pretending to study because you seriously have a test coming up or paper to finish or book to read so you don't look like a butt in class in the morning. People usually party every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Fraternities and sororities are more important to the people in them than anybody else. Last weekend I did homework, went to cabaret practice and worked. But then I'm one of the more boring people on campus I suppose.

If I'm awake at 2am on a Tuesday, I'm leaving a bar and anticipating drunk ordering wings. All the devoted partiers go to the Virginia Highlands area on Tuesdays and hit up the bars there- Moe's and Joe's, Noche, and Fontaine's. The bars are small and always packed on Tuesdays, with lots of table hopping and drink spilling. Once they close, everybody goes to Maggie's, a bar in Toco Hills that will let in anybody with an ID that says 21, no matter how shitty the ID is. Tuesday night going-out is a hangover from pre-1982, when there were no classes on Wednesday (aka "Wonderful Wednesday"). The Wonderful Wednesday tradition continues with food and entertainment at Asbury Circle, but now there are classes.

Without a doubt, greek life is really important here. Most of the school body belongs to a fraternity/sorority and most of the social events revolve around these. I belong to tri-delt and I absolutely love it. There is always something to do, whether its a mixer or a date party. You meet tons of girls/guys who are really happy to meet you too. Athletic events aren't really popular. Most people don't go to them, either because they don't know about it or because they don't care. Although recently, the basketball games are becoming a big hit on campus because the team just beat Rochester, the number one team in the country. Tuesdays are really fun here, most people go to the Highlands, where most of the bars are. All of us meet at the same place and drink the famous margaritas that are sold at Noche. Finally, everybody heads to Maggies, to end the night. On night that you don't want to drink, there are tons of stuff to do. Atlanta has a lot of delicious restaurants. You can also go to the movies or go shopping to one of its many malls.

Sometimes it seems that social life revolves around Greek life. Much of the bar and party scene does revolve around fraternities and sororities. However, I'm sure that there is a broad and diverse social life beyond the walls of Greek life. 2am on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, you are Maggies Bar and Grill (Emory's dive bar). Emory has some pretty impressive guest speakers (Jimmy Carter, Salmon Rushdie, The Dalai Lama). I hope that most students take advantage of these opportunities.
