Trinity College Top Questions

Fraternities and Sororities and sports seem to be the most popular. On Tuesday and Thursday nights I am usually at the Tap Bar ( Campus Bar) and on the weekend you can find students socializing at theme parties all along Vernon Street. Parties range from jungle themed to 80s night. There are a lot of other great spots on campus too. Cinestudio is an on campus movie theater and is way under rated and the Alchemy Juice Bar right off campus is an organic jem serving up tasty smoothies and wraps.

I play volleyball. Attendance is not a priority, but lets face it, I rarely go to women's sports either. For men's football, basketball, and hockey, attendance is prevalent. Fraternities and sororities are also important - our school has fun!

Parties all the time, drinking starts from thursday and ends on sunday Some racism can be experienced for students of color

The Fred is a great alternative space for people to come watch films, create art and relax without the stereotypes of the fraternity/sororiety crowd. It is definitely not a dry organization though, it's simply another social option for a weekend on campus.

GREEKS GREEKS GREEKS. there is nothing to do off campus so frat row rules the social life. the fred offers the only real weekend alternatives unless you want to go to college sponsored dances which are very lightly attended. Academic type activities are small, and usually department run, they exist but you will most likely have to hunt for them. cinestudio is an incredible resource for anyone that likes movies. the greeks are really able to control the school. drinking is the only weekend activity if you don't have a huge paper to write and want to spend it in the library. not a huge percentage of students are actually in a fraternity or sorority, but the majority of the student body spends their weekends there. friends are often met freshman year, in the dorms. for many its rare to make new friends after frehsman year, but it is possible if you are unhappy and want to seek out new people. friendships often seem to revolve around nothing other than drinking, it is the main social activity. dating doesn't really exist, but what college does have a dating scene. it's all about the hookups or the relationships. you won't find much else. overall it's not a very community oriented place. there are no traditions, few school wide events, all goes to show the administration is just fine with the greeks ruling the show.

Trnity is only 20{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} Greek, but this number is deceiving. Greek life and sports teams are very important to social life. There are five frats and two sororities, making the sororities extremely exclusive. I had many socially-adept friends who could not get into a sorority. It seems that there were way more people who wanted to be in he Greek system than would allow. At a school my friend goes to, the Greek system has many more options so a much larger range of people can be Greek if they want to. In spite of at times being closed minded, i will say that Trinity is an extremely social school (its just that people tend to stick with those who they are like). So even if you are not in the Greek system or in a sports team, you can have a social life. Howver, the social structure at Trnity is very rigid. After around sophomore year, when rush is over, it's pretty difficult to get to know people who are not in your social circle. People generally do not keep their doors open, which does not help the situation. Parties are generally thursday through sat, but you can find drunk people at trinity any night of hte week. There's barely anytining to do on a Sat night that do not involve drinking. There's a college bar and a few clubs in town, but a good deal of the city is not particularily safe at night.

the best social life you could imagine. if you like to dance, you won't like any other school besides trinity. at our school, you don't just stand around and hang out at night, everyone dances with each other and it is soo much fun. trinity is the best place in the world.

You can find an on campus party on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. At times it seems that Frat parties are monotonous. But there are so many other options: parties given by the school in Vernon Social Center, going downtown to bars and clubs, The Tap and Half Door (local bars) or having a party in your dorm room. On any given weekend, you're bound to have fun as long as you're connected.

There is a variety of Greek life on campus. There are also many athletic teams that really work well for a bonding experience. Athletic games are important to Trinity. There is a brand new hockey rink, and now just about every sport can be watched on campus. It is possible to find a party on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings.

I would be dissappointed with Trinity's social life, this really isn't a college town. It is lame.
