Iowa State University Top Questions

I'm very involved with my sorority. There are a lot of events surrounding traditions such as Homecoming, Veisha, and Greek Week.

Intramurals are very popular on campus! I have played intramural volleyball and am currently in intramural softball and I love it! Its a great way to have fun without being too serious. Its easy with classes. Students in their dorms always left their doors open. I no longer live in the dorms but loved it when I did. If I am awake at 2AM on a Tuesday I'm probably up studying. VEISHA is a great tradition that happens each year. Its a huge thing at ISU. Fraternities and sororities are HUGE at ISU. We have a very big and involved greek system. Last weekend, I went to Relay for Life on Friday night and then went out on Saturday night to a party.

I love ISU and AMES! The social life is amazing.

Greek life is very popular along with participating in certain campus activities such as Dance Marathon and other philanthropic events.

Students don't leave their door open in Eaton, Martin and honors dorms/floors. Greek Life is an amazing way to meet every kind of person you would ever want to know.

Football games are so much fun! Our team may not be the best, but that will never kill the Cyclone pride!! The student section is the best. I have been proud of Iowa State in the types of speakers and events that are available to students on campus. People might picture us in the middle of Iowa, out in the nowhere - but the education and life on campus and in Greekland does not accept that image of being lazy people in the middle of nowhere. Things are quality around here. Greek life is strong, and growing. I am proud to be a part of it! I refer to "Greekland" a lot - it's what a lot of us use to call the area where the Greek houses are. We are all within walking distance of each other, and the area of the houses is directly across campus with the Greek houses close together. So it really feels like a "greek" neighborhood.

The most popular group is the Greek Community. I am involved in a sorority. Students in dorms usually leave their dorms open but not where I live in Martin. Athletic events are the most popular events. The dating seeing is very high; a lot of people have a significant other. I met my closest friends through sorority formal recruitment. Tuesday at 2 AM I would be doing homework. People party usually Thursday to Saturday. Fraternities and sororities are very important. I usually don't go off campus.

Our campus has a very strong Greek community, of which I am a part of. The Greek community is very active on campus with campus events such as Blood Drive, as well as their own philanthropic events. Many of the members of the greek community are also involved in leadership positions on campus such as the Government of the Student Body, many clubs, and organizations. The Greek system is not the stereotypical

I would definitely have to say that the most popular groups on campus are the greek houses. I am involved with Alpha Omicron Pi, and have enjoyed every second of it. I have lived in the dorms for one semester, and while there I did not leave my doors open. I do know of many that have though. I think athletic events are very popular with students, mainly football. Some guest speakers draw a crowd, but I personally never gone to one. I don't know anything about the dating scene, because I have been in a serious relationship for my entire time at ISU. Partying is very prevalent with students.

The most popular groups on campus are probably ones that are athletic related. I think people also join academic groups so that they can put it on there resume, but they probably don't put as much work into those. I'm on the Iowa State Dance Team and I love it. People often party on Fridays and Saturdays and sometimes Thursday. Greek life is defnitely an important part of Iowa State

I am Greek so to me it seems like most students are Greek but I know that is not true at all. It feels like a small community though. It breaks down the big campus. I lived in Eaton and that was a very closed off place. I know that MWL is a lot more social and people leave their doors open all the time and stuff.

Greek life is a big part of ISU. Some people like it, others hate it. I met my closest friends here, in my house. Dorm life was fun. In my dorm people left their doors open. I love my boyfriend and hanging out with him but sometimes it's hard to work a relationship, school and extra-curriculars in but with good time management it can be done.

I think that intramurals are very important on campus. I love that anyone can participate in intramurals. The only sports that I think get a lot of buzz on campus are football and basketball. If I'm awake on at 2am I'm usally chilling in a friend's room or on facebook. I love how Iowa State has the Campanile tradtion that at the stroke of midnight you can kiss your love under the Campanile. I don't think that being in a sorority is top notch at Iowa State. I feel that there are two separate worlds here. I feel that there is Greekland and then there is just the other college students. I think that being in a sorority or frat is something that people think is fun and cool but I don't think that it gives those who are in them higher rank than a regular student.

There is plenty to do!!!! I live in greek land and we are all very involved in activities on campus. Homecoming, Greek Week, Veishea, Varieties, community service are some examples of all the time that greek students spend on activities.

Greek Life ISU After Dark I met my closet friends through other friends (and in classes). Traditions include VEISHA, campanilling, the swans, and the zodiac Last weekend I studied, hung out with friends, made food.

When I lived in the dorms last year, I kept my door open most of the time. I loved getting visitors. I only closed it when I was trying to study for a test or do homework. Dating scene is good. I met my boyfriend here last year. I met my friends in the dorms or through friends of friends or through the sorority.

Being in a Sorority, activities and social life has been a big part of my college career. Not only do you get to meet many different people, you have so many opportunities to take leadership positions, raise money for great organizations, and help better the community in and around Iowa State University. Everyone is so friendly, and you can always find someone to hang out with at any time, even at 3 AM. I have had the chance to take leadership positions in my house to learn important leadership skills and to make decisions that affect every person in my house now and in the future. We are always informed of the happenings on campus, so I have greatly enjoyed my time helping out with causes such as Iowa State Dance Marathon and the Iowa State Blood Drive. I love my sorority, and I would not have had the opportunities I have taken without the support and love of my sisters.

I am Greek so that's what my social life mostly consists of. But it's great! Being Greek has lead me to meet some of the most amazing friends.

We have an amazing Greek system here at ISU with a huge number of students participating in it. I feel we are very active as a community on campus and participate in nearly everything that comes around. The sororities here do not at all reflect the common stereotypes that are held against them. I do believe that everyone could go greek and find a house that they fit in to perfectly.
