Purdue University-Main Campus Top Questions

I do not know. Popular is untouchable to me.

I consider Homecoming event would be the most popular student activities. It is annual activity performing with many outstanding alumni and alumna.

Greek life is huge on campus, but there are plenty of other organizations on campus to get involved in. You would have to purposely try to hide away in your dorm to not be involved with something on campus. Breakfast club is AWESOME and hilarious. It's before the football games and during Grand Prix. All the bars open at 7 and people dress up in ridiculous costumes before the football games.

The Boiler Gold Rush at Purdue is a pretty big event. It is aimed at introducing the insides of Purdue to the participating new freshmen a week before school in Fall. The football and basketball games are big affairs too.

At Purdue University there are many different activities and groups that students love to get involved in. One of the most popular ones on campus is "Boiler Gold Rush." Nicknamed "BGR," this organization is a group of older students who host a week long orientation before classes start for new Purdue students. BGR is fun for both new and returning students. It allows new students to get to know people in their dorms and also to get to know everything that Purdue has to offer. The older students enjoy coming together to plan fun, Purdue focused activities for the younger students to get involved in. Other popular activities often happen in the residence halls themselves. Each hall has a club that students can join to plan get togethers and to make decisions for the residence hall. Many people, including myself, meet their best friends in the residence halls! The university does an excellent job of fostering a sense of community in the dorms. They are not just places to sleep. Many have lounges, study rooms, and places to get food with friends in a safe environment. Most students even keep their doors propped open to easily communicate with friends down the hall on a daily basis. On any given night many students will be hanging out in their rooms studying, watching tv, or playing games with the people on their floor. Fraternities and sororities are also great options that many Purdue students choose to get involved in. These organizations offer wonderful opportunities for people to build lasting friendships. They also offer additional ways to get involved on campus because each sorority and fraternity have philanthropy events that students can participate in! Leadership experience is another thing that many students love about being in the Greek system, as the houses have many important positions for students to fill in order to keep the fraternity or sorority running smoothly. Overall, Purdue has many events going on every day to keep students entertained, ranging from concerts to free outdoor movies. Students are encouraged to get involved in different groups to discover where their passions lay and to build lasting friendships with other students.

At Purdue, being a member of the Greek community is very common. I myself am in a sorority and think it has been one of the best decisions I've made in college. I have met so many friends, both male and female, and I always have people to hang out with. We love to go to restaurants together and going to Purdue football games. People party a decent amount, probably once or twice a week, but it really varies by the person. If you wanted to, you could probably find a party every day, but if you don't want to drink at all that is totally fine too. People are very accepting of the differing levels of wanting to party. If you were up at 2am on a Tuesday, you would most likely be sitting in your dorm room or Greek house eating Mad Mushroom cheesy bread and watching a movie.

What are the most popular student activities/groups?

Purdue football game. Purdue University Chinese Student's and Scholar's Association. sometimes. Really popular... I have no idea. In the student's organization. Studying or watching movies. christmas. once a week. I am not sure. traveling. small meeting with my friends. shopping.

Sports, primarily football, are a BIG deal at Purdue. There is a lot of school pride in the athletics and people go all out for games. This is something you can do with friends and your family. A lot of families come, dress up, and having a cook out in preparation for the game. This is just the most popular Purdue related activity -- there is plenty to do outside of student activities and groups.
