What are the most popular student activities/groups?

Greek life definitely makes an imprint on campus, but its not everything. There are so many groups to join your head will spin. (Cool feeling, actually.) People in the dorms are definitely friendly. I met my best friends on my floor last year, and we're still really close. We made our own community within a huge one. The university provides lots of things to do on weekends besides drinking. For example, comedians come to the IMU about once a month, there are casio nights where students can win prizes, guest speakers such as Jimmy Carter and Karl Rove, and performances like Hairspray and Rent at Hancher. If that's not your thing, there's always Night Games, which is held one Saturday night per month that has all-night volleyball, tennis, basketball, and badmition tournaments. They also have rock climbing, swimming, and free food. There are also free activities in the dorm like tye-dying, painting, movie nights, and fondue nights during the week.
