Some of the most popular student groups on campus are The Corp, intramural sports teams, and College Dems/Republicans. I'm a member of GAAP and a co-captain of my floor's intramural basketball team. Next year, I will be a member of ResLife as an RA.

The most popular student organizations are The Corp, a cappella groups, and intramural sports teams. I'm a member of GAAP (Georgetown Admissions Ambassador Program) and I am the captain of my floor's intramural basketball team. I also will be a member of ResLife next year as an RA. I'd say the social kids leave their doors propped and traffic flows in and out pretty much all day and night. We'll switch between studying and chatting about nothing. Other times, people will gather in the common room to go over Econ answers. Guest speakers are huge! The Clintons are always a must-see event. President Karzai stopped by recently, as did VP Joe Biden and Bradley Cooper. Theatre is a quiet, but lively scene. I saw several shows on campus: one was in Spanish, another a friend was performing in, and the last was written by one of my professors. I met my closest friends because they were on my floor. NEW SOUTH 1 REPRESENT! I also met a bunch of guys through basketball at the gym. If I'm up at 2 AM on a Tuesday, I am frantically finishing a response paper for my Documentary Storytelling class while chugging chocolate milk from Hoya Snaxa. Traditions include sitting on John Carroll's lap, Chipotle Wednesday (that was a thing on my floor), and stealing the hands from the clock tower. Also, two words: Georgetown Day. People party on Fridays and Saturdays. The B-School kids also drink on Thursdays since they don't have classes on Fridays. Greek Life is nonexistent. There are service frats though (Alpha Phi Omega). Apart from the typical party scene, there is a ton to do on weekends. A lot of clubs have meetings or fundraisers, sometimes parties of their own. Also, D.C. is at your fingertips. You can go clubbing (well, okay, that is the party scene), but you could also see a concert, go for a bike-ride on the Mall [D.C. slang for see the monuments], or take a special girl/guy out for dinner on M Street.
