DePaul University Top Questions

The most popular club sport is actually dodgeball if you believe it or not! We have tons of organizations on campus. If you want to go Greek, there are sororities and frats it is not a big deal if you join or not though. You wil not be treated any differently on campus or looked at any differently. The dating scene is here. A lot of people have girlfriends or boyfriends from other schools in the Chicago area, or at DePaul. People do date within the DePaul scene, you will meet a lot of people out at the bars. On a Saturday night, if you do not want to drink, you can go to a resturant downtown, in the winter you can do ice skating, you can go to plays, anything you are in Chicago, the world is at your fingertips! I met my best friend here in my dorm my freshman year. She lived a couple of doors down the hall from me, and my floor was so close. I was friends with everyone. You will meet you closest friends in your dorm your first few weeks or school. You can also meet people during classes and then joining activities and clubs. When I am off campus, I am usually downtown shopping or hanging out!

Ambies!

I can honestly say that I do not have much of a social life. Partly due to the intense amount of classes, but also because I am not as familiar with the activities and groups at DePaul. When I transferred in, I got a quick tour of the loop campus and a DePaul calendar. Hence, I did not venture out. I have met many students that are participants of many different clubs and organizations. I root for them. People love to party. I think it's a healthy way for students to interact and make new friends. The kinds of parties attended are at one's own discretion. An alternative to going out on a Saturday night is spending time with my family back home in the suburbs or meeting up old friends for dinner.

People party a lot on campus, but usually in apartments of commuters. Fraternities/sororities exist but they are not very popular. Events that happen every year include homecoming and FEST.

social life is great. bunch of bars. the dorms are starting to be more lenient with drinking and stuff. overall, its pretty fun. im in a fraternity, but i dont rely on the fraternity whatsoever for my social life. everything just flows together.

I'm involved with DePaul ambassadors which helps promote DePaul to prospective students and helps out the Office of Admission. My closest friends are the people I met in my dorm. I also have some good friends from my on- campus job as a Tour Guide. The greek system is small, but the people who participate in it are really into it. Greek was never anything I was interested in though.

DAB. No thank you. No. I dunno. Yeah, they come often. I dunno. Haha, no. Not at DePaul. Could be doing anything. Christmas. I hear that happens often. All the time. Not important. That was the one weekend I stayed in doing work all day. Smoking...er, I mean studying. Everything except..well, I don't even go to class.
