What are the most popular student activities/groups?

Melissa

The most popular groups/clubs are greek organizations or the sports teams. I am involved in a greek organization. Students always leave their dorm doors open and students are always walking around. Hockey and basketball sporting events are pretty popular while theatre and most guest speakers are not. If I am awake at 2am on a Tuesday, I am usually studying. I met my closest friends through rooming and through friends of friends, and through my sorority. People party Thursday night through Saturday night and sometimes throughout the week. Greek life is pretty important but you don't have to be part of it. You can watch movies and just hang out if you are not drinking on Saturdays. There are also other events to do.

There are so many clubs on campus that one can join, and I am actually in about five of them. The social life here is good as well. Many people go to the nearby town, New Haven. However, there are many events sponsored by QU After Dark that sponsor movies and fun events on the weekends that do not involve drinking. These events are actually very popular among the campus social life.

The social life here at QU is good. I am involved in Phi Sig and i love the greek life here and i have only been in it for a few months!

Alex

students leave their doors propped open but no one really communicates in the upper class dorms. Hockey games are popular but nothing else is. closest friends from my freshman hallway. If I'm up late i'm doing homework. May weekend used to happen but the school likes to cancel it. People party alot. Frats/ sororities are only important if you're in them.. if not you dont like them. last weekend i drank but also went out to dinner and to the movies. I don't need to drink every weekend. dinner, movies, bowling,

The most popular groups on campus are either the Greek Life or the Student Government. No students do not realli keep thier dorm rooms open. In ledges and Commons you are really not allowed to and well most kids just wont. Frats and Sororities are very important to me becasue I am in one. They are my life, they are where i've found my closests friends and the people who I go to everything with.

At QU people usually party Thurs-Sat...there is a shuttle that takes students to near by new haven...on thurs. many students go to clubs such as Hula Hanks and Hammer Jaks in new haven. on saturday everyone goes to Toads Place in new haven as well. Friday night people usually stay on campus, hopping from party to party. However, if you don't drink there are tons of school sponsored activites every weekend such as movies..games..contests...really anything, they come up with really creative ideas each week.

Everyone's door is always open, and I really think that's how most people meet their friends freshman year. My closest friends all lived in the same corner of Ledges, and nothing has really changed.

students in droms leave their doors open; people party a lot in dorms and off campus; fraternities/sororities are active but not liked too much

I am apart of Phi Sigma Sigma, and I'm so glad I joined. I met some amazing women and I feel great when I participate in Greek activities and our philanthropies.
