If you want to have a good academic first year and meet some smart people then live at ISR.
If you want to have fun, party, and make friends then live at the six pack.

Greek life is popular. 25{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of undergrad population is greek and it's the largest greek system in the nation.
I love my sorority and I couldn't imagine college life without it. I've met amazing women and made amazing memories. Plus we participate in philanthropies and make connections with others in the greek community. It's truly incredible.
Yes they leave their doors open... it's really cool.
VERY popular... footbal is getting a lot better and basketball is always sold out. There's definitely a lot of school spirit and a lot of emphasis on the games. They're social and a great time!
Guest speakers come every once and a while. Theater... I'm not that familiar with it.
Dating scene ... you see some of it but a lot of people, guys in particular like to have fun and don't really want a relationship. I don't like that, but that's just my personality.
I met my closest friends from my sorority and through my sorority... and plus I'm still friends with a few people I went to high school with that go here.
Usually talking online or talking with friends in my sorority. Maybe watching tv or a movie. Or just getting home from going out to the bars.
Traditions - Unofficial, for sure. Dad's weekend and Mom's weekend are pretty big too.
People party hard on the weekends but there's always something going on every night of the week... either at bars or at fraternities or apartments.
Fraternities/sororities are definitely prominent on campus but there's a lot of other organizations on campus. It seems that you see greek letters everywhere you go though.
Last weekend I went out to Brothers - a bar here on campus.
Watch a movie (or go to the movies)... people get creative.
Off campus I go shopping... the mall, target, walmart... and go to the movies. Sometimes I'll go out to eat.

Intramural sports are always popular on campus. They are really easy to join and they are fun to compete in with a group of friends.
Some students in the dorms leave their doors open, while others almost always keep them closed; it really depends on the person. The most outgoing people will leave their doors open all the time (and usually they are the loudest). The people that prefer to get work done or watch TV usually keep their door closed so as not be disturbed.
People really do party almost every night on campus. Although most of the parties take place Thursday-Saturday, people go to the bars almost every night. Even if you don't drink, the bars are a great place to go to hang out, meet new people, get some food, or watch TV.
