The University of Texas at Austin Top Questions

What are the most popular student activities/groups?

Harper

Sixth street is ridiculous. There are parties almost every night and Thursdays are by far the craziest night to get wasted.

Kendall

Greek life is very big on campus.

The greek {4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} at UT may be small, but 10{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of 50000 kids is still a lot. The greek scene provides most of the social life at UT.

There are no certain groups/organizations that are the most popular. Greek life is pretty significant here, and it is something to take a look at. Lots of good partys, good looking girls... Students living in dorms should consider living in the honors quad or san jacinto. Most of the other UT dorms suck. I would consider living in an off-campus dorm for the first year.

I'm involved with a fraternity as well as the Texas Cowboys organization. My closest friends are mainly from these two organizations. Whether we are going out or just hanging around watching TV i spend most of my time with them. Athletic events, especially football games, are very popular. Most people's saturday's during fall semester revolve around the UT football game. Basketball, baseball, and other sports are not as popular, but still have lots of fans attending their games. Fraternities and sororities are great for those people that choose to be a part of them, but there are definately other ways to get invovled and meet people.

The city of Austin fosters many great activities for young people. Night life is good as well as outdoor activities. Fraternities and sororities are a good thing at UT as well.

There are many social organizations one can join, Greek and Non-greek, ranging from Lockpicking Club to Club LaCrosse

The fraternity scene is very prevalent and is very fulfilling

The most popular groups are those that are either the fraternities or sororities. I am involved in Texas Cowboys. We are a wide range of individuals that come together to serve the community and the UT campus. I met my closest friends through the Fraternity that I am in and through the dorm I lived in my Freshman year. Besides drinking, students can go bowling go to the movies, cook out, have a non alcoholic party, go dancing at midnight rodeo or the broken spoke or Copa.

Brett

The football game days and tailgates are among the best in the nation. We have a lot of support for our athletic programs and tons of alumni are always around.
