Trinity College Top Questions

Social life lies completely in the hands of the Greek organizations on campus. Hardly anybody will go into Downtown Hartford to party.

I met my closest friends due to my sorority. I never thought in my entire life that I would ever join a sorority but once I did, I couldn't have been happier. It was the best way to meet a new group of girls and to really bond with them. Greek life is not the most important thing here but it does rule a lot of the night life. The fraternities are open on weekend nights and are a great place to dance. Every aspect of Trinity is pretty much a part of social life and no matter what you find yourself doing, you will find someone who is interested in doing the same thing.

lots to do on campus-- greek life, cafe with poetry readings and music every weekend, active cultural houses, campus-wide organized activities

It has the best social life of the nescac schools, but it gets worse every year as the administartion is forced to make new rules to make lawyers, parents, or Hartford happy. There is very little to do if you don't drink, so if the school forces minors to drink in their dorm rooms, so be it.

Although Trinity has a comparatively small Greek like than those of other schools, the Fraternity's and Sorority's definitely control the social scene. I am in a Sorority- Kappa Kappa Gamma, and I absolutly love it. Whether you are in a frat or sorority, everyone knows how to have a good time. I've visited my friends at all different colleges, and my friends who have come to visit Trinity all agree that Trinity is the most fun school. Athletic events are popular and Theatrical and Guest speaking events, while attended, are not highyl advertised so people aren't always informed about whats going on on campus. People date when they are in a relationship. People hook up when they like eachother. The typical way to meet a guy is to dance with him at late night and go home with him.

If you're awake at 2am on a Tuesday, you are probably leaving either The Tap or Sidewalk Cafe on your way to the fraternity AD.

Greek life runs the campus social scene. People party hard thursday, friday, saturday and sometimes tuesday. People randomly hook up more than they date. There's a lot of heavy drinking and casual drug use.

Most social events occur on campus. Unfortunately, hartford doesn't have much to offer in terms of safe social activities. The basements of fraternities house the majority of Trinity's student body on a typical weekend night. Athletic events are most popular in the warmer months when students like to tailgate outside lacrosse and baseball games or tennis matches. Although Greek life isn't huge on campus, I do believe it's important. I am currently a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma- the only nationally recognized sorority on campus. I don't think that joining a Greek organization is as important for girls as it is for guys but it is a great way to meet a ton of people you may have never hung out with before.

greek life on the weekends is the most dominant social scene

the most popular thing on our campus is to be a part of team. it really makes the campus feel smaller, and more intimate with an immediate second family. i love being a part of the greek system, as it gives you an outlet and an option in terms of night life

Athletic events such as men's football, lacrosse and ice hockey games are very well attended. Trinity constantly offers impressive lectures for a seemingly infinite array of issues. Trinity offers such institutions as the "Fred" as an alternative to the Greek scene.

most of the nightlife at trinity revolves around the frats at night. only abour 25{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of students are in frats, but all students can go to the "late night" parties, when the frats open up around midnight to about 3:00. there are parties that the frats and sororities have that are invite only too. there is a bar right off campus that is really popular on tuesdays and thursdays. thats really only for seniors and juniors who are 21. before youre 21 the social scene involves hanging out in dorm rooms and then going to late night usually. there are a lot of lecture opportunities on campus. there is an on campus movie theatre too. im not really sure what you would do on a saturday if you weren't drinking. most activities take place on campus but some times we go downtown to bars. i wish we went downtown more

The most popular social scene is going to the frats. People go out Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I would say Thursday and Saturday are the best nights out at Trinity.

Need a bar or pub on campus... alcohol is getting too strict on campus kids end up leaving and going downtown then they drive back.. Very stupid on Trinity's part. Not keeping the students safe. Dont feel safe because our school is an open campus.

All Greek organizations are very popular. A huge percent of the student body are athletes as well. People are also generally involved with community service activities. Personally, I am friends with a lot of people in the Greek community and who are athletes because am both a Sororiaty sister and a member of a team. People party at trinity 3 days a weekend Thursday Friday Saturday. Thursday and Saturday are the biggest nights. People also go out casually on Tuesdays, normally to a bar. Thursday and Saturdays are big Frat party nights.

Greek life is very popular but sometimes takes over the social scene and gets old quickly.

athletic events are really popular-showing a great deal of stduent pride. fraternities are also really popular.

I am most involved with Greek life and this is how I have expanded my network. I cannot say enough good things about Greek life at Trinity. It gets people involved and gives them a good support system.

There are a lot of opportunities to attend a various range of events, be it entertainment or intellectual. Some are well attended many others not. People party often and hard.
