University of Arizona Top Questions

I am involved with greek life (sorority). There is always something going on every weekend - not everyone drinks though. You can go dancing, to the movies, dinner etc without drinking.

Going to the basketball game is a huge deal! People wait in line overnight so they can get tickets to see the games. But really, all the sporting events are a big deal. Everyone gets ready to go to them and cheer on our school.

I'm a huge advocate for Greek life, which comprises about 15{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of our campus. The different houses have very different values and reputations, but if you give it a try, you have a great shot at finding your 'family' away from home. Which, isn't to say that you have to be Greek to fit in on campus, there's thousands of ways to meet everyone on campus, so find a way to get involved.

I am so glad I joined a sorority. It was an instant way to make lifelong friends! Truly amazing young women who I can't imagine life at UofA without! If you don't drink there is still plenty to do. Try great resaurants around Tucson, catch a movie, go shopping, play frisbee, go work out at the rec center......there are tons of options!

I want to ban thedirty.com This awful website exposes nasty rumors about people on campus. The website is national and has a U of A link so that people may contribute to the ridiculous content in place. It hurts people's feelings and serves no greater good. Other than that, I am pleased with the social life at the U of A.

My freshman year I was on an athletic team at Arizona. It was a great experience but you do not always meet as many people because it is a smaller group. The greek system is not the biggest group on campus, however, I have found that it is a great way to make this school seem smaller. Also, many of the fraternities hold competitions between the different sororities in order to raise money for their philanthropy. Which is a great way to meet new the guys in the different houses. This past year we had Hilary Clinton make a speech in Bear Down gym. We also have bands like the Plain White Ts come and play in Centennial Hall, which is on campus. The dating scene, well for some people its good, I haven't found a guy but I'm still optimistic. Homecoming is a HUGE tradition. Alumni come back, the Greeks all celebrate, probably one of the most fun weeks! In the spring there is Spring Fling and the students put on the largest student run carnival. If I'm awake at 2 am on tuesday I'm probably studying. People party when ever they feel like it. Every weekend some people start on thursday night, some people who are 21 go to the bars on weds it just depends if you are in the mood. If you don't want to drink you can go to the movies. There was a fair that just ended, there are things to do for whatever you ideals for a night are.

Greek Life is really prominent at the U of A, but there are also many other ways to get involved. There are a ton of great clubs with ASUA, clubs having to do with different majors, and even just random fun clubs that go out on the mall. The social life here is great if you want to party, but also great if you just want to sit back and have a movie night in your dorm or apartment. There is always something to do if you're bored, and especially if you're involved in either Greek Life, Clubs, or Athletics.

Im in a fraternity and it is very fun. I have met a lot of people and it has made my college life a lot more fun. I feel everyone should join a organization

The social life at arizona is great. i go to a ton of parties every week. fraternities and sororities are pretty big, because most of the big parties are there, or at a pool party. Other than that there are a couple of small house parties and such. most of the events or activities involve drinking in some way

Athletic events are always strongly attended. With the friends I have surrounded myself with and my sorority I am able to have a sober night on the weekend if I so choose and I know I can find some friends that will join. The dating scene is apparent but extremely skewed since much of the male population does not know how.
