Central Michigan University Top Questions

What are the most popular student activities/groups?

Scott

I guess the most popular events are the football games in the fall. Central does not charge students to enter the stadium and watch the games. Central Michigan has a program called On-the-fly, this program is ran by students and is in charge of getting entertainment to come to our school, some of the entertainers they have got were, Dane Cook, Stephen Lynch, T-pain, Bobby Lee, Hypnotist guy, and many more.

I am invovled with the Student Dietetic Association, which is a group for my major in which we go out amongst CMU's campus and help with nutritionally related programs. When looking at dorm rooms, I can tell from experience that the Towers is the most friendly and open place to be. Living in Carey my freshman year, everyone door was open 24/7. I even had people from other Towers just stop by to say hi and introduce themselves numerous times throughout the year. I have heard that some of the other dorms are a little more reserved, yet I think it is easy for any student to make friends as long as their is some effort. I met my closest friend here within my sorority.

This is another great part of CMU. The activities that are on this campus are unlimited. Seeing how there are over 260 registered student organizations, there is a great opportunity to get involved in anything that best fits you personality. The importance of a Fraternity's and sororities on this campus, seems to be growing more and more compared to the earlier years, when they did nothing but party and haze people. Mount Pleasant in itself is a good smaller town. there are multiple things to do on and off campus during the weekends. Whether and program is going on, you go watch a movie, or you go bowling.

im in lambda chi alpha fraternity. theres a good mix with in the greek community, but outside that theres no meshing of student body. the greeks on campus arent welcome by non greeks or administration/professors. they are very frowned apon and believed to be bad students and cheaters. professors mark you down or grade harder if they know your Greek.

Greek life is a big involvement on our campus, but it could be bigger. Drinking does play a huge role in our community because there is not much else to do at night in Mount Pleasant. Movies are very expensive and you can only go bowling so many times. Athletic events are popular because of tailgating. Most students don't even make it into the games. Our theatre is very small and most students are not interested in the shows. Sometimes, students will turn out for guest speakers, but most of the time, they do not. People party every day of the week.

GREEK LIFE. Just kidding I dunno. I am involved in a sorority. When I lived in the dorms we kept our door open (at the beg. of the year at least) Athletic events aren't that popular unless there's a tailgate. I like the comedians that come. My closed friends are my best friend from home, my roomate from freshman year, and my family tree in my sorority. I am not awake at 2am on tuesday or I am grumpy because I am studying and all i want to do is sleep. Greek week, thursday bar nights, st. pattys day, tailgate. It depends on the person- each person parties a different amount. Greek life is very important. Last weekend I had mock rock on friday, went out and celebrated. Sat I stayed in with my roomate and cleaned my room. On saturdays I can cuddle in my bed and watch movies, go to the movies, go out to eat, hang out with my roomates, clean my room, or do homework. Well I live off campus so I sleep, do homework, eat, shower, basically daily activities of life.

Greek life at Central is growing every year. Most dorms are very friendly living spaces, who truly do leave their doors open. While walking to classes people will hold doors open for you and smile. I like to believe that Central is a very friendly campus. I met my closest friend at Central through my current roommates. It was kind of a fluke incident and we have been best friends every sence. There are many things to do at Central that dont involve drinking. All of our sporting events are free to get into and that helps to get students to go.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon is a social fraternity that I am a member of. With fraternity and sorority life there is a lot of interaction between groups in things such as IM sports, philanthropy, and socially. This makes it very easy to meet new people from all walks of life and areas of campus that you may never have met otherwise. Some of my closest friends are my brothers in SAE, and through them I have become better acquainted with campus and other groups.

well i don't know if there is a more popular group, but greek life plays a big role in my life. when i joined a sorority i had no idea the impact it would have. it has caused me to blossom as my mom would say. i have had so many opertunities throught greek life that i would have never known about if i hadn't joined.

The social life here is awesome. There are always parties if you want one, groups to get involved in, the towers are a great place to make friends and so on. I believe the fraternities and sororities are very important. It is a great way to make friends and they can help the campus better itself. If we dont want to drink on a Saturday night, then go to the movies, rent a movie, workout, run, homework, play video games, be a DD (designated driver, someone will need one!), etc...
