The most popular student activities are probably sports, more specifically football. Our football team has been moving up and with our great accomplishments and record breaking season last semester, it has escalated to a whole new level. And this achievement has helped strengthened our school pride with events like Cougar Red Fridays and exciting tail-gating.

One of the great events that happen each year is Frontier Fiesta as I am a freshman I have not gone to yet. But I am really excited to experience it.

Most students tend to join one of the various cultural groups we have on campus. We're a highly diverse community, so we have African Americans holding leadership in the Vietnamese Student Organization, Chinese students leading the Arab Student Organization, and a very strong international presence. There are also the Greek fraternities and stories, who are much more supportive and productive to the university as a whole compared to other colleges.

Football is a very important event in UH. Tailgating with friends and enjoying a well played game is a great way to spend the day. Frontier Fiesta is also a main activity to look forward to as a UH student. With lots of food, games, and fantastic shows, Fiesta is a must in the spring.

Nothing at UH is "most popular". It all depends on the students thoughts. Our school so diverse that one person might say football is most popular while other says student government is. We try to keep everyone equal and that is why I wouldn't say one thing over powers another. I am in a organization that raises awareness of Pakistan, also in many medical orgs, and I am even in a org for people who are top 20{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} in their class! I am one of the many who are so involved is so many different organizations. And there is still room for many to join.

-The most popular organzation has to be the Student Program Board. It's a program that provides shows, concerts, and activites. It's a pretty awesome orginzation to join. Gym Class Hero is actually having a concert on the campus pretty soon, and that was because SPB pulled it off. :) -I'm involved with Best Buddies, NSCS, and BBBS. Best Buddies is a program where you work with different buddies that has an intellectual disability. NSCS is a program where you become a leader on campus and also do many different volunteer opportunities. BBBS stands for Big Brother and Big Sister. It's basically a program where you are paired up with a little brother/sister and you mentor him/her as in helping him/her with homework and different other stuff. -What you can do that does not involved drinking is by going to the movies or even go rock climbing at the UH GYM, since I believe it is close at 9PM. You can also go to the discovery green to have some coffee or a walk in the park with the pretty lights shining on you. -The tradition we have is the Frontier Fiesta, and it is where we have a cook-off going on and games going on. Many different organization from UH takes a part at this main event. -The athletic events we have are pretty popular now that the UH football team has enter the Big East! One of them was that we had ESPN College Game day event at our campus which was AWESOME!

There are a vast number of student-run groups around campus. We have religious groups, ethnic clubs, fraternities, sororities, and almost anything you can think of! It honestly just depends what you're into. I personally am part of the Student Programming Board, we are a fee-based organization that is in charge of creating all the events around campus from concerts, to movies, to trips! The best the about it, is it's all free! Our campus is also very big on school spirit and sports. Come to the campus any day of the week and you will see a sea of red! Sporting events are great places to meet people and get involved! Most of our student body goes to our football games, and there's an incredible sense of unity there. Weekdays are mainly for academic/school run events, but if you live on campus, the weekends are so lively! Go pretty much anywhere on campus, there is some sort of get together going on, whether it be at the frat houses, the UC, the bar, or the dormitories, you're bound to have an amazing time. (:
