sororities and fraternities are very popular groups on campus because they provide such a range of things to do from service to social activities. We really support our athletic teams- especially basketball and football- those are some of my fondest memories on campus. If i'm awake at 2am on Tuesday I'm either hanging out with friends in a social setting or doing schoolwork. Different groups of people party at different times, there is a party every night if you are looking for one.

Most popular groups on campus are the sororities and fraternities. I am a Kappa Delta -- a sorority with good involvement, high GPA, and good social standing. Students generally leave their doors open. Athletic events are very popular --especially football and men's basketball. Guest speakers are not very popular. Theater is somewhat popular. The dating scene is pretty non-existent. The couples that are together get together early on or come into Wake already dating. Most individuals just "hook up." I met my closest friends in my sorority. Awake on a Tuesday -- studying or watching TV trying to go to sleep. Traditions -- rolling the quad after games and fraternity events. People party during the weekend, also often on Wednesday and Thursday nights. Fraternities/sororities are very important. Last weekend I went to a fraternity party on Friday, a fraternity date function on Saturday, and studied on Sunday. A Saturday night that does not involve drinking usually involves a movie, homework, and church. Off campus has a lot of restaurants, movie theaters, bars, and other events.

'School' related activities are pretty under the radar...Football games are fun because they are a huge tailgate, besides that I don't know who attends all of the student government activities. Fraternity parties and athletic parties dominate the weekends - except Sunday when you can find EVERYONE in the library.

Traditions and events that happen every year: Wake Frost, Shag on the Mag, a Carnical, concerts... Basketball games and football games are very popular.

The most popular groups/organizations/teams on campus are sororities and fraternities, volunteer organizations and the football and basketball teams. One group I'm involved with, HOPE (Helping to Overcome Physical Expectations), is comprised of about 100 students to spend 2 hours a week volunteering at a local elementary school with students with special needs. Most people do leave their doors open in their dorms because everyone wants to be social! Athletic events, especially football, are very popular. If you're really into a sport, you'll have no trouble finding someone else to go to the game with. Guest speakers are only popular to the students interested in what they have to say-sometimes hearing guest speakers can seem like a chore. Theater is not very popular at Wake, although the theater department is successful at what they do. PEOPLE AT WAKE DON'T DATE! You're either single, "hooking up" with someone and are not dating, or are in a serious boyfriend/girlfriend relationship (including engagements). I met my closest friends on my freshman hall in through my sorority and Greek like as a whole. If I'm awake at 2 AM on a Tuesday, I'm studying for a test that I have the next day. Some of my friends, on the other hand, are probably at the bars! Each year, Homecoming, the Lighting of the Quad, Tie a Yellow Ribbon Week, the reading of names of those who died in the Holocaust, Springfest, Wake 'n' Shake and various other fun events occur each year. I'd say that most people party 2-3 nights per week. Fraternities and sororities are extremely important- most parties are fraternity parties (even at local bars) and almost 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of Wake women are Greek. Last weekend I attended my sorority initiation events, had a reunion with friends I was abroad with in the summer, volunteered at WFUBMC, slept a lot and studied. If I didn't want to drink on a Saturday night, I could go to the movies with friends, hang out at my apartment, get some sleep, volunteer an extra shift at the hospital (if I were really ambitious!), or go to a party and NOT DRINK. I live off campus, so my life outside of classes and meetings occurs off campus. I eat off campus, can go shopping, run errands and get coffee!

football team is getting more attention, our basketball team used to be amazing and the most renowned on campus. Frat and sorority life are also huge and a big part of campus life. Most students leave their doors open, although that may be starting to change after some theft incidents. Rolling the quad is a huge tradition after a big win (football and basketball primarily). Most people party 3 times a week, maybe more maybe less. You can go to the movies, if you dont want to go out on a Saturday night, although the options on campus are fairly limited, as are they off campus since there isnt much of a college town.
