- Clubs and Greek life are very popular here at IUP, there is something here for EVERYONE!!! Any interest that you would have, I am sure there is a club for it! - Athletic events are pretty popular, the football games are usually full so are the Basketball games which are very popular! - We just had a new BEAUTIFUL convention center built, (The Kovalchick Center) which got a really big celebrity to come for homecoming. This is continuing to get more popular as it gets established since it is brand new! - IUP is currently starting the Hawk Rock which is a 24 hour dance a thon which will benefit many! This is the first year that IUP will be doing something like this thanks to our beautiful convention center finally being able to house all the people here!

Greek life is pretty popular at IUP. We have a decent number of sororities and fraternities and they seem to attract a large percentage of the student body. If you're like me and hate the idea of being forced to be friends with a group of girls (or guys), there are some professional and social co-ed fraternities. Along the same lines, there are clubs for every major, minor, and interest you could possibly imagine. Wait, you're dream club doesn't exist? Make one! Lets say you're into something obscure like... ice fishing, and all you want more than anything else is to meet other people who share your affinity for sitting in a cabin with whole in the floor for hours on end. You come to IUP and you realize this club doesn't exist. The beauty of college is that you have the power to make it exist. I know two people who have created clubs and it is a lot easier than you would think. I am co-president of one of the professional co-ed fraternities on campus, Kappa Delta Pi: International Honor Society in Education, Beta Gamma Chapter. We are an organization dedicated to the field of education who welcome the top 20{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the education department from early childhood through secondary education and even speech pathology. We have socials, workshops, professional development, community service, meetings, and mixers with other co-ed societies. There are so many cool things to do at IUP. There are clubs that take trips on the weekends all around the east coast, clubs with organized activities, movies, ice skating, bowling, shopping, visiting Pittsburgh, or just relaxing. There are always parties on the weekends, but if that's not your thing, don't fret. Residence Halls often show screenings of movies or have programs and game nights on the weekends. There is a live theater performance almost every weekend as well. Many places around the community sponsor events that are either free or reduced price for students if you bring your iCard. At homecoming we have a huge parade where all of the sororities and fraternities create floats. Then we have Pregame in the Oak Grove. At Halloween be sure to stop down at the Yarnick's farm and check out their haunted house or catch the IUP bus trip to Kennywood Fright Nights. During finals week the local church has Midnight Pancakes (also known lovingly as "Jesus Cakes") for students. This is a student favorite! The Entertainment Network (TEN) and the Black Emphasis Committee (BEC) present live concerts, tournaments, comedians, and debates every semester. Some recent events include We the Kings, Bruno Mars, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Brian Posehn, Keven Hart, Bo Burnham, Louis Black, and more. Every Monday a speaker comes to campus as a part of the Six O'Clock Series to talk on varying topics. The topics have been issues such as legalizing marijuana, creationism versus evolution, and the ever popular zombies versus vampires.

Everything is fun at IUP, yes it sucks when it rains or snows but thats just weather. All the parties, football games and other activities to do are really fun and anyone could love this school! VERY FUN LOVING :)

I. Usually. Party. Frats are usually pretty common for big parties, sororities aren't necessarily the best girls on campus. Regardless, we all have a good time together.

There are a variety of concerts, student organizations, athletic organizations, both intramural and collegiate, and fraternities and sororities. However, there probably are not enough organizations to keep you busy all the time. Your level of boredom at IUP depends upon your level of involvement in organizations and study groups. One slightly unfortunate thing about dormitory life here is that most people keep their doors closed and do not interact with neighbors very much. However, if you come here and live on campus and are not shy whatsoever, you can help to change that on your floor.

AS IS AID ABOVE THE IUP ACTIVITIES AND THE SOCIAL LIFE ARE PART OF WHAT MAKES IUP A HEALTHY AND WELL BALANCED INSTITUTION, AND AFTER GRADUATIMNG YOU WILL KNOW THAT YOU GAINED THE GREATEST EMPATHY AND ARE READY TO TACKLE THE WORLD!!!

I don't know any students who leave their dorm rooms open and I also don't know too many people who are dating.

as far as sports go, football is probably the most popular. As for as non-sports, frats and the greek system is very popular at IUP considering it is a really big party school. If your in the regular dorms the students usually leave the doors open and usually everyone is friends in a halway. as for the suites, they don't really keep their doors open.

The sports at IUP are great, there are so many teams from football to tennis. The dorm life is prety nice, everyone gets to know their neighbors and for the most part everyone is friends.
