Saint Louis University Top Questions

Service groups are very important for most students.

Alpha Phi Omega (co-ed service fraternity), social Greek life, Dance Marathon, Relay for Life,

There was a huge influx in service groups on campus this semester - so take your pick. APO is the most popular as it is the service fraternity on campus. If you like to be involved in campus life, Student Activities Board and Billikens After Dark are two popular groups that throw events on campus like movie nights out on the quad, trivia nights, de-stressers during finals, etc. I met my closest friends through Campus Ministry actually. CM throws a lot of retreats throughout each semester and just provides a lot of ways to get to know people on that deeper level. Through CLC's (Christian Life Communities) and SLC's (Spiritual Life Communities) there are some awesome discussions to be had - and those are very popular to join at SLU. On a typical Saturday night, you can find a lot of people exploring restaurants and venues in St. Louis, hanging out for a movie night/game night, etc. People are very relaxed here if that's the scene you're going for. There are endless possibilities within the city - so always be on the look-out.

With over 200 student groups on campus, it's hard to say which ones are most popular because each one is supported by so many of our students. Personally, I am involved with SLU Wishmakers (a chapter of Make a Wish Foundation), the Micah Learning Community (an LC focused on service and Faith), Greek Life on campus, Oriflamme, and an A Capella group, to name a few. We also have an amazing Basketball and Soccer team, and students get into games for free! Also, each semester a free concert is brought to campus for the students. So far, I have seen The Lumineers, Walk the Moon, and I am about to see Icona-Pop. Besides everything on campus, the city of St. Louis has so much to offer. From restaurants to shopping to concerts and zoos--this city is incredible!

There are not a lot of groups other than Greek life that are always together. On weekends the only thing really to do is drink.

I believe there have most popular student groups.

In the freshman dorms in particular, people will have their room doors open. Athletes are well known. Soccer is big here, and basketball. Unfortunately we don't have a football team. We have guest speakers, good guest speakers - one of the things I really like here.

Top 3 chartered student organizations : Student Activities Board, Great Issues Committee, and the Black Student Alliance. I am a part of and am on, and have been on, the board for the Black Student Alliance. I love the Black Student Alliance as it has provided me a place for me to come into my own and also help others do the same. Students in dorms typically leave their dorms open and very comfortable, regardless of the city atmosphere that surrounds us. Athletic events have a decent turnout, but if we had a football team, we'd have more pride. We have great speakers and events all over campus, all the time. The dating scene is pretty good, personally, I've found a boyfriend that I've been with for the past 2 years. However, because the campus is relatively small, the dating scene can become stale after a couple years here. People party soooo much here. White greek life is very important here; black greek life is trying to make a come-up.

Billiken Basketball is where it's at! Come to the games because SLUdents love to show their support. Games are great fun and a great place to socialize. Other popular sports on campus are ultimate Frisbee and mens/womens soccer. Theater is big, too. Plus, the Fox Theater is visible from campus. Go see a show! I saw Phantom and loved it. Greek life on campus is a big deal. However, it seems larger than it actually is. I'm not Greek and have made plenty of friends. It is recommended if you want to make lots of friends quickly and it's a great place to find parties and other events.
