UNH Greek life is a big part at UNH. There are many different sororities and fraternities. It is a great way to meet new people and have a huge group of sisters who are always there for you no matter what. Meeting new people is very simple! Everyone is very friendly and approachable. Although UNH is known as a party school, there are many other activities to take part in here on our campus like, intramural sports, hockey games, fitness activities, and a local movie theater and mall to shop.

Greek life is pretty important on campus, we are well know beause of our philanthropies and just our involvement with the UNH campus. Sports teams are seen as like gods if they do well or if they aren't doing well no one really pays any attention to them. I'm in alpha phi and i absolutely love it. the fact that i get to help out certain events and be part of something this big is a huge pride factor to me. I'm comfortable enough leaving my dorm room open because i trust people and i like to meet new people. I attend lots of events throughout the semester because of my sorority. People party a lot here, probably more than is neccessary but we are all college students and just want to have fun. Frats and sororities are a major factor of the partying scene on campus because we are all so close and thats where we go to hang out. I like staying in on weekend nights sometimes just to watch a movie and relax. I never really leave campus.

I think the biggest thing here on campus is definitely the hockey games. It is always a rush to get tickets and all the students have a ton of school pride and want to be there to root on their players. Most students stay up late every night. I usually dont go to bed until 2 or 3 on school nights because i am up doing work and studying. A lot of poeple are always at the gym and that is a social scene in an out of itself. I haven't gone to gym once and not see anyone i dont know. Most everyone goes out on the weekends to either a frat or an apartment and their activities revolve around drinking.

Greek system is definately one of the most popular "groups" to be a part of. Great support system and social atmosphere.

The most popular groups organizations on campus are greek organizations and athletics. I'm involved with the Alpha Phi sorority. Students in dorms do leave their doors open. Athletic events are very popular and there are always a lot of guest speakers who come, you can usually find them at the MUB. There is not so much a dating scene as there is a hookup scene, people tend to have random hookups instead of steady boyfriend/girlfriends. If i'm up at 2am I am either writing a paper, doing homework, or having fun with my friends. People party mostly every night of the week, except mondays and wednesdays, they are usually not that eventful. Frats and Sororities are only important to those involved in them, otherwise you can't understand the bond. If you aren't drinking on a Saturday you can always find a lot of things to do, like going to the MUB and seeing the local entertainers or just going to see a movie off campus.
