Arizona State University-Tempe Top Questions

I am not too sure what the "most popular" student groups are campus-wide, since it seems like everything is split up by majors. I would say that the American Medical Student Association (AMSA), is a very important group for pre-medical students, though. This group is super helpful. There are constantly guest speakers, who help us with the pre-medical journey, writing our personal statements, even talking to actual medical students. I believe in March they will actually be holding a mock MCAT, which would be super conducive to our future.

There is really no "most popular" club. There is just so much going on, you can find any club that suits your interests. ASU has been able to attract an above average about of guest speakers. I would like for there to be more though, and some events have a caps on the amount of people that are allowed in an event. My closest friends are the people who live around me; we all "clicked" really well. Partying is prevalent. The type of party really depends on who you know and what social groups you associate with. Last weekend, I saw Richard Dawkins speak. It was a wonderful event. I was pretty busy writing a paper for my Human Event class.

Since I live across the country, the beginning of my first semester was challenging. No one warns you when you go off to college that finding friends just as good as your ones from back home would be so hard. I found two very close friends of mine at the gym. Strange place to meet people, but in the beginning of the semester every body is looking for friends. I found other friends through classes. Where I met my best friends however was when I rushed a sorority. Greek Life at ASU isn't huge but definitely exists. I was having a very hard time adjusting at first so I figured I would rush since I had nothing to loose. I am now in Alpha Chi Omega and met all my best friends through the sorority. We do a lot of things all together on the weekends. For example, last night about 20 of us went to Tempe Marketplace and saw the midnight showing of The Vow. It was so much fun and the movie was great. Tempe marketplace is really close and has a lot of shopping and restaurants. Students go their often and it's easy to get to because ASU offers buses to take you there. Another common spot is Mill Avenue. It's close enough to walk, however you can just take the Light Rail as well. There are so many things to do off campus as there is on campus. On the weekends the MU offers "MU After Dark" and they have fun comedy shows and things like that. Other student activities include going to Football and Basketball games, laying out in the sun at the SRC or going to the fun concert that is being set up on the soccer lawn right now! The All American Rejects are setting up to play tonight and this is not the first time famous people have been on our campus. During welcome week we also had a performer and Tosh.O came and shot an episode here at ASU. Whitney Port from The City also came to talk to girls about fashion and how to dress for your body. There is ALWAYS something to do and it's so much fun.

The sports teams here are very popular, especially the football team. Although we haven't had the best seasons, the student section is always packed and pumped up for the games. Many people go to the sports events on the weekends and participate in tailgates. I haven't gone to many games recently, so I have the outside perspective on other fun things to do. Tempe has so much to offer that you will never be bored! In close proximity to ASU is Tempe Marketplace which is an outdoor mall that is very popular. Also, the lightrail can take you downtown to see the Diamondbacks, Suns, or any other interesting things downtown. The closest entertainment is Mill Avenue. There are tons of restaurants and shops that you can go to as well as live musicians almost every night. Saturday nights can always be fun when you go explore the town. If you don't want to do those sorts of things, sororities and fraternities are very popular and through them you will become part of a large group of brothers and sisters. The people in them always seem to enjoy them!

The most popular activities and groups on campus vary greatly. Football and other sports games encourage students across campus to come out. Sports drive much of the student body with Student Alumni Association groups as well as cheerleaders. Tailgates, pep-rallies and more encourage students to participate in college events with constant reminders and notifications around campus it isnt hard to stay involved. The inter murals offer fun activities for all sport levels. There are amazing theater opportunities, art galleries, guest speakers and more. Every year huge amounts of students join in the Undie-run, the Pat-Tilman run, and more. There are snow events, winter concerts and more. There are parties every night and Greek life is present but not extremely important. Groups are formed for everything imaginable from academic honors, to Harry Potter clubs and Snow Devils.

The most popular organizations on campus, in my opinion, are Greek. That is very biased because I am part of it and that is all I am surrounded by. I have joined other organizations, whether they were for my academics, to help high school students, to become a mentor, etc but greek has stood out the most. A lot of my time is dedicated to my sorority and there is always something to do since we focus on community service off campus. On my free time I just do homework and hang out with my family.

Although ASU has a mediocre Greek life on campus, I feel like most students are affiliated with it.

The people I am involved with is a class full of 30 future teachers. We all absolutely are tolerent and friendly to one another. Althetic events are a fun way for all the students to get together. I love attending football games and getting tickets for friends to join. There are always block parties before and they are full of food and music. Halloween/ homecoming is a huge deal. Homecoming is the day before halloween but the festivities start a week early. They start with decorating the campuses windows and having a haunted house. This is the best time of the year to be a sun devil!
