I am in Chi Omega sorority. I have had many wonderful social experiences such as date dashes. They are a lot of fun and can also include friends outside of greek life. They are a way to attend a themed party with all of your friends without going to a fraternity. I also have met close friends, and my boyfriend, at my apartment complex. Because my major, chemical engineering, is relatively small, I now see friends I met there socially outside of class.

Social life is great here. There is always something to do. I love themed parties, and there are themed parties almost every weekend. Dorms are social for the most part. I made a lot of friends in my dorm freshman year. Movies at Gallager are cheap and fun. There is always ultimate frisbee going on on the mall. There are tons of sporting events. Gymcats is one of my favorites that a lot of people don't know about.

The activities and socail life here at the University is both fun and exciting. Some people put their socail lives in front of their school work, which makes doing well very difficult. However, for those who school matters more, the social life is great.

I met my closest girls friends through a number of different communities. I was fortunate enough to have a beautiful roomate who was raised dancing and with the same christian morals and values and drive by her parents. The girls in my wing of my dorm are amazing. They are equally vibrant and down-to-earth individuals who are involved on campus and are commited to acheiving. Majors on my floor range from acting and dance to education to cellular and molecular biology. I also met a larger portion of my friends from my sorority. My sisters are highly involved on campus and helped me find outlets in clubs and activities from community service to social groups. Even though the campus is large and there are over 40,000 people present everyday. Students are able to establish a small community of friends who share common beliefs and academic standards.

The best thing about Arizona is the many different clubs on campus. If you are not Greek then you are involved in sports, or culture, or religion, or something. Everything is available and ready to sign you up! And there are so many alternatives to drinking on the weekends. The cellar has activites and sometimes ASUA will plan concerts and events on the mall.

There are amazing intramurals, clubs, and greek life opportunities to get involved with. You can find an extracurricular activity that is perfect for anyone. It is really encouraged to get involved on campus so you can meet people with the same interests as you. There is always a social life on campus, no matter what time day or night you can find someone to spend time with and chill. It is a blast to see the campus come alive for big sporting events.

There is always something to do on the UA campus no matter what you are interested in. The pride and traditions of the UA create a positive environment at all events. The athletic events are extremely popular and a unforgettable experience. The student support for the sports teams is unbelievable and of the best in the nation. The UA is what you make it. Whether you drink or not, you can always find something fun to do. People party as much or as little as they want. There is no set limit. Dorm life is very social and a very good way to meet people. It is also a good place to live and easy place to get your work done.

I met my closest friends through my sorority and a club called freshman class council.

yes, students leave their doors open. Athletic events are popular - we have one of the biggest student sections. Greek life is big - there are always parties on the weekends.

Greek life at the UofA is one of the biggest on the west coast. its very prevalent despite the fact that only 11{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the student population is greek. i absolutely love my sorority and i have alot of friends who are in other sororities and friends who are not greek. Im also in the pre-med honorary fraternity, one of the biggest clubs on campus. its alot of fun. it helps you meet alot of people and prepare for med school admissions. my floor in my dorm is extremely social and most of us usually have our doors open when we are in the room. i met my closest friends during rush. One is now in my sorority and the other one is in a different sorority. otherwise my other close friends are from my dorm.
