The most popular activity for students around the campus would most definitely have to be the football games.

I believe that professional fraternities/ sororities are fairly popular around here. Other clubs like the ski club and the running club get a lot of attention. Also, the school has activities one the weekends you can attend like movies, craft nights, and even concerts.

The most popular groups on campus are the greek organizations. MSU has many different fraternities and sororities for students to join. Another popular thing to get involved with are the different inter mural sport teams that are offered. All sporting events are also very popular for students to attend.

And a couple hundred other activities that I haven't even heard of. I am in a fraternity and on two sport teams. They are both awesome and I know like 200 other people that can attest to that. You just cant go wrong here.

I wouldn't say that MSU has a group that is the "most popular". There is a group for each individual, and the opportunities are endless! Not only are there clubs and organizations, but MSU also offers intramural sports. I am involved in the Honors College, Tower Guard (an honors society comprised of the top 5{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the sophomore class), NSCS, UNICEF, and Competitive Ballroom Dancing. Even if you don't want to get involved in activities, you can still meet people by simply leaving your dorm room open. A great Saturday night does not have to involve alcohol - East Lansing opens a whole new world to students, and there is an adventure wherever you go. You can head over to Meridian Mall, enjoy sushi, or browse through shops down Grand River - the bus makes everything accessible, all you have to do is enjoy it!

One of the most popular activity is going to football games and partying on the weekends.

There's no doubt about it, MSU is a football school. If you don't like football then you'll miss out on a HUGE part of campus life. Student tickets are reasonably priced at under $150 for the season. You can always sell your ticket if you can't make the game. The team has been very good with Dantonio as head coach and it looks like they're only getting better. Tailgating with friends, family, and alumni brings you really close together and gives you a sense of belonging.
Besides football MSU has one of the top basketball programs in the nation under coach Izzo. Membership in the Izzone is a coveted prize for the dedicated fans and they have to meet several requirements to get tickets in the lower bowl. The atmosphere is extremely energetic and an absolute blast.
Other sports of note are Hockey, Volleyball, and Baseball. The key linking all these sports together is a high energy atmosphere and a passion on the part of the students. I would recommend going to at least one game for each of the big sports.
If you aren't a sports person there is still a ton of things to do. Fine arts are a big thing here. The new art museum opens in May '12 and will host millions of dollars worth of art. The Wharton Center has big name productions come through pretty regularly, and the theater department puts on some great shows of their own.
There is so much to do here that it's hard to write it all down. There are a ton of restaurants down Grand River that can provide you with whatever you're craving. The MSU dairy store has some of the best ice cream in the country and constantly comes out with new flavors. Other than that there's the on campus dining which is outstanding for the most part. Snyder-Phillips, Brody, and Case hall have new gourmet dining rooms that are highly touted.
Of course we do get a lot of partying in as well. It is possible to party 7 days a week, but I'd strongly advise against it. With such a large campus the parties vary greatly in size and style. There are huge frat parties with well over 2,000 people down to small house and apartment parties with a few friends. Halloween is NOT to be missed. It is a huge event at State and one of the best weekends during fall semester. Go all out and dress up, almost everyone participates and has fun. Just be SAFE!
