Quinnipiac University Top Questions

What are the most popular student activities/groups?

Jacque

The most popular groups on campus to be a part of are SGA, Radio Station,Greek Life and Student Programming Board. There are many ways to get involved but it isnt mandatory for you to fit in, those who want to better their experiences are seen involved alot more in the student activities.

I love being a part of greek life, and i think we have the most fun, involved, and intelligent population of the students. In my dorm, doors were alwaysss open. Freshmen year my floor and the floor below us met and are still BFFE's today (we're all seniors). People party in dorms because its not always easy to get off campus. There are always activities every weekend that don't involve drinking, but i'd suggest it. Or at least to go to the parties, even if you don't drink. I honestly don't think anyone would pressure you to drink (i've had friends who would constantly hang out with us but not drink).

I feel that the most popular organizations on campus are the Greek organizations. They definitely have the most active membership. The organization I am involved in is Phi Sigma Sigma, and I met some of my closest friends through this organization. The dating scene at the school is kind of hard to get into because there are many more female students than there are male students. If I am awake at 2am on a Tuesday, I am most likely doing work. I feel that people party a lot. Sororities and fraternities are important on this campus, they are involved in a lot of events that are sponsored on campus. I went to the bars in New Haven last weekend, and I attended the Quinnipiac play at the Longwharf Theater.

The most popular organizations on campus are the greek organizations. Being a part of greek life, all organizations are extremely predominant on campus and constantly holding events. There are a lot of partiers here, but the social life of many mainly consists of going out to local bars and clubs. Every night there is a different place that is the "place to be." May Weekend was a big part of the social life here at QU but they recently got rid of it. There are constantly different speakers and events going on every weekend but they do not always have strong attendance. You do not need to drink to have fun though. I know there are people on this campus who dont drink and love it here. Athletic events aren't as big on this campus but hockey games are a big deal. Everyone attends them and goes crazy.

Phi Sigma Sigma. We donate to the national kidney foundation. Greek life is a great way to be involved.

all clubs are great need to join ones you have interests in

Athletic events aren't as popular as they should be. Students only go to the games when there are freebies and then leave before the game is done which is very frustrating for dedicated fans like the Crazy Bobcats. Most people leave their dorm doors open if someone is in the room, if not they are closed and locked because of theft problems. Frats and Sororities do not have houses on campus. They are mostly charity organizations that try to raise money for certain events and perform community service. They are not meant for only party people.

I'm staff but I've been invited to great events by undergrads who were involved with things such as "Invisible Children".

Well, basketball, hockey games are really popular here. There is a lot of drinking and partying that takes place on campus, thursday, friday and saturday nights. Some times also on the week nights. Most students consider thursday night as a weekend night.

Quinnipiac has New Haven just down the road. Thursdays is Hula Hanks night. Friday is on campus night. Saturday is Toads night. Quinnipiac parties usually from Thursday-Saturday, but Wednesday is a big one too. Frats don't have big parties, and the "sports houses" rarely have parties.
