University of Mississippi Top Questions

Sport clubs and intramural sports are one of the most popular organizations on campus. I, myself am the Captain and President of the Ole Miss Men's Soccer Club. As well as an active member of numerous committees in my fraternity. It is easy to get involved on campus and so much fun. When I lived in the dorms, the easiest way to make new friends was by leaving your door open and letting people walk in and out. I made so many close friends that way. Ole Miss has been known as a party school and the rumors are obviously true. We have a large number of fraternities and sororities that host events on a weekly basis. As well as other groups and organizations that host events on as well as off campus. There are many different groups that host different types of parties or get-togethers. Some involve alcohol, because after all it is college, and others that do not. I absolutely love the fact that on a weekend I can sit down with a group and talk, or play games or just hang out without having a sip of alcohol.

By far, the most popular group on campus are the Greeks, and the most popular activity is the Grove (tailgating on home football game weekends). However, Campus Crusades is another huge group on campus, which focuses on Christian worship and holds a packed service every week. Theatre, Young Life, The Associated Student Body (student government), Ole Miss Outdoors, and the Student Media Center, to name a few, are also significant groups/organizations on campus. Combining all of the other groups actually out ranks the Greeks, who have their own little community anyway. As for the Grove -- SEC football is huge, and we have over 60,000 people cram into a small space for games, despite the fact that our team isn't all that great. It's a tradition, and it's an experience.

Football is great but tradition is the most important. SAVEOLEMISS.COM reveals the ongoing battle between the Colonel Reb Foundation and the hated Chancellor Dan Jones

there are so many clubs and organizations - religious, political, social..... they really never end. when i lived in the dorm, i was best friends with every girl on my floor (ole miss does not have co-ed dorms) as well as many girls on other floors. it's so easy to meet people, in fact, you meet someone almost every day either through someone or in a class. the nightlife at ole miss is going to the bar at the square, a house party or to a fraternity party. there is always a good band playing somewhere in town.

Most people here are involved in the greek system. Therefore, there's definitely a lot of drinking that goes on here. However, I think a lot of times people get the impression that all frats guys and sorority girls drink and that isn't true at all. I'm in a sorority and I don't drink. Not only that, but most of the friends that I hang out with in my sorority also choose to not drink.

Ole Miss popular activities include sports and religious affiliations. I am involved in Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) and Campus Crusade is another popular religious organization. My sorority is another major activity of mine and through it I am involved in a lot of philanthropic activity. The Honors College is another activity I am involved in. Guest speakers come to our Brown Bag Lecture series, which are held every Wednesday at noon. I have been to one (as a requirement for a Journalism class) but I learned that these are a great opportunity and should be taken advantage of. I have met my closest friends from RUF and from my sorority. Sorority sisters and fraternity brothers for the most part hang out with members of their affiliation. Many students are big partiers, going out most nights of the week. There are three 18 bars, which are popular spots for freshman and underclassmen. Oxford provides a lot of entertainment for people who do not wish to participate in the bar scene.

I'm involved with a sorority on campus. Most students in dorms leave their doors open to welcome friends. Not a lot of Ole Miss students are in serious relationships until they get older.

ASB is a big organization on campus. I'm involved with Delta Gamma. Students do usually leave there doors open. Athletic events are very popular herer. Guests speakers do come very often and many plays are performed on campus. I meet my friends through the dorm, class, and my sorority. On facebook or cramming for an exam. Sorority and Fraternity events for our philanthropy. People party a good bit here but nothing out of the norm from other colleges. The greek system is very important. I celebrated my birthday.Go to the movies, go over to a friends house, you can go out without drinking just about anything you want to do. I like to go to Sardis, like to excercise at the park, go to movies, eat out, and shop.
