Kansas State University Top Questions

What are the most popular student activities/groups?

Reese

Fraternities and sororities are very popular at Kansas State. They are a great way to make life long friends and career connections. There are also a lot of clubs to join on campus. There is almost a type of club for any interest. I myself am a member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity or TKE for short. I have met many of my closest friends through TKE from being involved in the fraternity for the past 3 years. Not to mention you get to meet a lot of people of the opposite sex. I have many friends who have had long-term, serious girlfriends from being in a fraternity. Most of the girls I have met are also involved in the Greek life at KSU. The girls in sororities love to hang out and party with fraternity guys. People in my fraternity like to party in general a lot but being in the fraternity does not mean you are forced to party. People in fraternities are also very good about having their priorities set which makes being able to party easier. Getting things accomplished is key to success in college and a fraternity/sorority definitely helps. Being involved whether in the Greek community or another student organization is very important to building a good resume for a career after college as well. I also have an on-campus job as an advertising sales representative for the K-State Collegian and K-State Phonebook. My job and my fraternity have put me in good positions that will open many doors for me in my future.

A large population of students are involved in sororities or fraternities yet an even greater portion of students are involved in an array of organizations on the college campus. Many of the events and parties thrown thought the school year are put on by fraternities and sororities and they are always a ton of fun.Everyone has the opportunity to get involved and the school spirit here at K-State is unprecedented. There is never an empty seat at games and stadiums are packed with loyal fans that bleed school spirit! The athletes are pretty down-to-earth and are very friendly around campus. They love their fans and have no problem showing it outside of games. The dorm life is pretty awesome here.Students feel comfortable leaving their room doors open and are allowed to customize their rooms any way they please. There are rules to ensure the safety of every student and even a system set up to walk students from campus to their dorms during late hours of the night. The dorms are a great place to meet new people especially as a freshman. There are always activities in dorm lobbies and spaces specifically for studying with groups or alone quietly. Aggieville is awesome for those students over 21 that want to unwind and have a few drinks with their peers. Most places in Aggieville throw parties like "Beauty on the Beach" where students can enter contests and win prizes and are a blast. For students under 21 there are a ton of on campus events like cosmic bowling, movies, and other parties that take place almost weekly! Kansas State is the place to be!

I met almost all of my closest friends through the Greek system. Through recruitment week, chapter meetings every Wednesday, and functions with other houses, meeting new people is so easy. It connects you with some of the most active students at K-State because everyone knows someone who knows someone in your house.

As I mentioned before, there are two campuses, the main and Salina. As a member of the Salina campus, picking the most popular activity/group on campus is difficult. Our organizations range from the Greek system, to an anime club, to the Flight Team. Anyone can create their own organization, and no one would turn you down if you wanting to join. In addition, the Programming Board has dozens of activities on campus per semester, and there is always something for the students to do. I love the Greek system, simply because I helped found the only sorority on campus, and being able to empower women on a predominately male based campus, is just awesome to me. My sorority gets support from everyone on campus and I honestly do not know how I would survive college without the friends I have made through the sorority and other student organizations I have been involved in.

It's hard to mention K-State activities without mentioning the athletics. We are the only team in the Big 12 conference that has our student sections right on the 50 yard-line! We also have an amazing program involving our UPC (Union Program Council). They have substance-free events every weekend for students who are looking for something to do at little to no cost to them. These events include everything from $1 movies on the weekend to free comics to creating wax hands or even dance parties. Finally my personal favorite event at K-State would be the arts. We have several theatrical productions every year and the musical this fall, The Putname County Spelling Bee, was incredible. Not to mention the real-life version of Glee: The K-State Singers!!

There's all sorts of things to do on campus. They have this fair at the beginning of the semester to showcase all the different groups if you are interested. I was in marching band-absolutely awesome-and karate for awhile. You can always drink or party on weekends in Aggieville or at parties, but I don't really do that much. There's movies, shopping, concerts, theatre, and Union movies which are a little older but only cost a dollar. I live in a dorm and they told us to not always shut the door. Many times people would just sorta show up at your door and talk to you. Football and basketball are really big events. They are a lot of fun and you get to practice the Wabash-the most recognized K-State tradition.
