Quinnipiac University Top Questions

The most popular organizations I would say is Greek Life. I am also a member of Alpha Chi Omega on campus. Alot of people leave their doors open, and stop in to say hi even if passing by. Athletic events, especially hockey games are always packed. As a room of 8, we are always up late at night, watching tv, doing homework, or ordering food. THe weekends technically start on Thursday and last through Saturday night. My roommates and I are usually out into New Haven for the night life. If we choose not to drink, which often happens whether we are sober driving for our sorority or just want to stay in, we go to the movies, out to eat, or bowling. Usually we go shopping, tanning, and out to lunch when we are in Hamden for the afternoon.

Some of the most popular groups or organizations on campus are the sports teams and the Greek life organizations. I would say that they play a fairly large role in events that go on around campus and do attract a fair amount of people, although there are still many that stereotype the average Greek. On top of that, it seems to me that the same people that play a big role in Greek life also play a big role in other organizations on campus...the most involved people tend to be the ones that are involved in everything.

Greek life is small on campus, but it is a great way to get involved, everyone in greek life is involved in so many other things on campus. No one leaves their doors open on campus... its not THAT safe here. If i am awake late at night, i am studying. I met my friends through classes and being involved on campus. People party a lot depending on their majors. Greek life is very close together and it should expand. There honestly isnt too much to do on campus on a saturday night if your not drinking. Off campus you can go out to eat, shop, hang out, mini golf, batting cages, bowling. There is a lot to do off campus, but getting there can be a pain in the butt.

I feel like if you were involved in high school, there are a lot of ways to be involved at QU. For me, Greek Life is my social life...whether it is community service, events for other greek organizations, or simply just getting to know people, without greek life i dont think i would like QU. Almost all of my friends are Greek, and if they aren't Greek, they are involved in other organizations like BSU or OLs

The social life is very interesting. Not a lot happens on campus, because security tends to be pretty strict. Most of the social aspects, partying, etc. happens either off campus or in New Haven. The partying scene tends to hit the bars and clubs Thursday-Saturday. I like to occassionly go to clubs, it's a nice release from a stressful week. However, hanging out with friends in my room watching movies isn't a bad idea either.

The most popular organizations on campus would probably be RHD, which consists of all the RA's, and perhaps SPB, the student programming board. I think that these two groups play a big part in the type of activities that go on throughout campus.

The most popular group her eon campus is Alpha Chi Omega. We are pretty fabulous and raised 18,000 last year for the fight against domestic violence.

The most popular team on campus is probably the ice hockey team. A new stadium was just built and a lot of hte stuednts go to the games and get pretty into it. If im awake on a tuesday night at 2am im usually in my common room with my roommate listning to rascal f latts and doing homework. There are a few frats and sororities. One of my roommates is in Alpha Chi Omega and they usually have various fundrasiers and formals through out hte year. There are three soroities and two frats.

its fun to go to the hockey games and to go into new haven to a club with friends. during the week its more about school and doing homework. and sometimes i go to events held by clubs or the school as a whole.

There are 75 clubs and organizations to be a part of. 5 Sororities and Fraternities. Lots of things to do on the weekends that are planned by students. Seniors live off campus as of right now but there are lots of local bars and restaurants in the area that people go to on the weekends as well.

I do not feel that there is a specific group or club that is most popular, there is a club/or group that will interst everyone. Student do leave there doors open in the halls, exspecially in Irma/Dana. My closest friends are my roomates and a bunch of other girls on my hall. On Saterday nights there are many things to do that doesn't involve drinking because QU After Dark is always programming activities.

I feel that Greek Life is a huge part of our campus. I am involved in Alpha Chi Omega and it changed my life. I have met the most amazing people and it has really help me to come out of my shell. I have done so many things that I would never have done without them. I metmy closest friends at the end of freshman year and they have been my best friends ever since. I think that people party from Thursday till Saturday. I think that if you do not want to party you can go see a movie or do some events that the Student Center sponsors.

The most popular organizations would be Student Government Association, Habitat for Humanity, Greek life, Hockey, Lacrosse. Students definitely leave their doors open so that people can come in and socialize. I would be hanging out with my roommates jsut goofing off at 2am. People party a lot but not everyone does...but a majority of people make that their focus.

Dorm doors are kept open for most of the time. There are many events on the weekends to keep busy if you don't go out into New Haven.

GREEK LIFE <33 and Quinnipiac has a lot of good guest speakers, we just had a "take back the night" sponcered by WAVE and others... great speaker miss CT 2006

Greeks are different this campus. They are interested in community service and philanthropy as well as educational excellence and having fun. Since we aren't as large of a group as on most other campuses and we don't have houses, the social scene is often more different. We have socials off campus as well as our fundraisers, formals and any other activities. There are so many different student activities/clubs to choose from that there is something for everyone to pick from. They are always hosting events for people to go to. Partying on campus is ok. It isn't anything huge because of the size of the dorms and the fact that houses are farther from campus then they might be from other campuses. Also, since we are so close to New Haven, there is a great night life there. They have nightclubs, bars, theaters, and many many tasty restaurants. They also have great shopping there.

Some of the biggest organizations are Greek life, Student Government, Quad, the Hockey team, Lacrosse team, baseball team, and softball teams. I am in the future teacher's organizations which is mostly people in my major and we plan activities and fund raisers that help local schools and give us the opportunity to have more experience and information about our specific fields. The athletic events are really popular, the speakers would depend on who it was and the theatre is popular with people supporting their friends are going for a class. I haven't dated on campus but I meet guys in my dorm or on the weekends, my roommate is dating our neighbor it's really sweet. But there are definitely more girls on campus than guys. I met my closest friends freshman year in my dorm. If I am awake at 2 am on a Tuesday I am either studying or really mad at my roommates. Every year there parent's weekend which is so fun and May weekend which was the best time I had all freshman year. There is also the faculty holiday dinner when the faculty serve the students dinner before winter break it's awesome. Most people party on Thursday-Saturday nights and not necessarily all three. The fraternities and sororities are present on campus but you do not have to be in one to fit in. Last weekend I stayed in on friday night and made dinner with my roommates and saturday night we went to a friends room on campus. On saturday you can have a movie night with your friends, go out to dinner, go to a movie, go shopping, or have a game night.

QU offers a lot of student activities throughout the weekends for those who don't drink, although I know people who don't drink that aren't necessarily satisfied. Greek life here isn't huge, but those who are in it love it. During the week there aren't parties or anything (besides thursday nights), so most people are doing work...on the weekends there's a good amount of partying but a lot of people go into New Haven to the clubs and bars. Most people have fakes. There isn't one really popular organization on campus, but a lot of opportunities are given to all students to join as many as possible.

A lot of what we do is on campus parties, off campus parties, New Haven scene on Thursday nights, and sometimes off campus in New Haven on Saturday nights.
