Creighton University Top Questions

Greek life is growing on Creighton's campus. There are now 7 sororities and 6 fraternities. Greek life here, though, is not crazy party time like it may be at other schools. They are more just social organizations. A lot of students participate in volunteering and intermural sports as well. A lot of students go to our athletic events to support our teams, and that is a great activity to do on weekend nights if you do not feel like going off campus. Near campus there are restaurants, ice cream shops, a movie theater, and many other fun things that you can do. The Century Link Center is right down the street, so you can attend concerts or go to athletic events that are happening there. There are probably half the students that are dating, and the other half is single. There are a lot of opportunities freshman year to get to meet fellow students, and I would advise fully taking advantage of those opportunities to get to know people.

Creighton University All Nations Pow Wow, 5 April 2008, Omaha, Nebraska

I met my best friends simply by living on the same floor as them in our dorm. I met one girl at a floor dinner we had together and then saw her working out at the KFC when I was there. I wrote a note on her door that we should work out together and we ended up being really good friends. She and I actually just traveled to Europe together. As I met a few girls on my floor they introduced me to more girls on my floor and more guys they hung out with and I did the same for them. As we all introduced each other to our closest group of friends our circles widened and I ended up meeting lots of people through other friends and even in class.

I believe all the groups that Creighton has are popular. Each group sparks a different interest in different people. Lots of students leave their door opened, its is a way to get to know people. you can have the most random people walk in your door, and have an amazing time. The athletics, speakers, and theater are as successful as the students make them. I have never seen any even bomb, there are good crowds at the events and students like to go and support other students. The dating scene at Creighton is hard for girls than guys because the ratio ir 40{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} guys and 60{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} girls. So girls get the short end of that deal, but if you want a boyfriend/girlfriend I am pretty sure that you would be able to find someone at Creighton. I met my closest friends my hanging out on my floor and just talking with people and being friend. Also joining a sorority also aloud me to meet a lot of amazing girls. If I am awake at 2am on a Tuesday I would probably be getting ready to go to bed from more than likely studying or very rarely waking up from falling asleep watching a movie. There are lots of things to do on campus rather than drink. But if you really want to drink and party, it is a college so you will be able to find one if you want to. The parties are not on campus though since there is no housing right near Creighton and the students who are 21 do not live on campus or live on the other side of campus. There are lots of things to do besides drink, you can play apples to apples, watch movies, go to Old Market, play board games, you would be amazed at the things you think of to do in college.

always something to do or something to see on campus many activites and involvement

Creighton is big on Basketball and soccer. Those are major social events on campus, but those are not the only ones. Creighton has a theater program that puts on plays and Creighton also brings in many guest speakers. As for partying and other things the emphasis is what you put it on. There are people who put 7 days a week and seem to slack there way through school so I am sure you could find a party if you know the right people regardless of the day.

A lot of people are involved in the Birdcage, which is the athletic club at Creighton. The Birdcage is involved with setting up for basketball or soccer games and getting people to come to those games. My closest friends lived in the same dorm as I did, and we spent every weekend together. We usually just hang out in the dorms, having dance parties or watching movies. We've also played hide and seek on the mall a couple times. Fraternities and Sororities aren't as big of a deal at Creighton as they are in other college campuses. They are nice groups to be in if you want, but it is not necessary.

The dorm life can be whatever you make of it. If you go out of your way to meet the people in your hall, you may be uncomfortable for a while, but eventually you'll know those people very well and they could become your best friends. There is a wide variety of activities from one weekend to the next, fraternities have parties, there are restaurants and coffee shops close to campus, but sometimes you just hang out in the dorms.

Well the most popular student group is the Birdcage....the fan club for the basketball team. Soccer, Basketball, and Baseball are the most popular teams on campus. Inter Residence Hall Government is another popular organization on campus. Im involved with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and I really enjoy being able to communicate about faith with other athletes. Yes students leave dorm rooms open. Athletic Events are huge!! Gust speakers and theater is big too!! 2am oin a Tuesday I am studying or getting up to go run!! Frats and Sororities arent that important on campus. On a saturday night you can go to the old market and have a nice meal....go to a movie....hit the underground music scene.

IM Sports are common. The basketball games are really popular. People do party at Creighton, but definitely not as much as a state school. Same goes for the frats and sororities. It's a good idea to get invovled with whatever school you are in.
