University of Missouri-Columbia Top Questions

Sororities and Fraternities are very popular groups to join and the most popular activity is Mizzou After Dark where you do arts and crafts, play games, and just have fun.

I cant answer this very accurately because I feel like there are so many activities and clubs that many students partake in.

Greek Life, Rec Sports, LBGT, Religious organizations, Club Sports, Sports in general, Nursing/ Medical Fraternities, Business fraternities, service fraternities. If I'm awake at 2am on a tuesday I'm working on my evolutionary medicine essay on cancer.

There is no shortage of student groups on the University of Missouri's Campus. With over 500 organizations, there is something for everyone. If I had to choose which student groups were most popular by number I would say it was a tie between Greek fraternities and sororities and academic groups and clubs. But there really is a huge variety, besides those two types. For instance, I looked into joining the Scuba Diving Club (unfortunately I have been too busy!) One group I am involved with is Pi Lambda Theta, an academic honors society for education students. This organization (and others like it) offer great professional development and networking opportunities. I also learn about things in education, like new classroom management strategies and how to create a polished resume. Another way to meet people, besides organizations, is in the dorm rooms. My closest friends are people I met in the dorms my freshman and sophomore years. Mizzou has a very friendly dorm atmosphere - most people leave their doors open often. Besides being involved with organizations and dorm life, many people are really into Mizzou Athletics. Football and Basketball games are huge events, especially the Homecoming Weekend Football game. I personally attended all home football and basketball games this year! Go Tigers!

Greek life is huge at Mizzou.

Greek life is very popular at Mizzou. 33{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the University of Missouri is Greek, with 14 sororities and 30 fraternities. Greek life is very positive and gives a lot back to the community. With 600+ organizations and clubs, Greek life is not the only thing to become involved with. Athletic events are very popular at Mizzou, football and basketball are two of the most popular. You will meet some of your closest friends during freshman year where you bond over all new experiences and traditions. There are lots of extra things to do on the weekends that don't involve drinking, as I participate in most of them. Whether it be going downtown to get some ice cream or going to the movies, there are many safe environments that don't involve partying. If you are awake at 2am on a Tuesday, you are most likely doing homework with friends or grabbing a late night snack at the 24-7 market on campus!

We have over 500 clubs! That's right, five hundred clubs. Plus more. If you somehow can't find a club you are interested in, then you can go ahead and start one up! The big thing that unites most of campus is athletics, football and basketball being the big ones. Tailgating for those events (especially football) can start early in the mornings and go way into the evenings. For those who aren't interested in sports, there's guest speakers, local theater productions, concerts, club events, fraternity and sorority events, and a downtown scene that has something for everyone. If you're awake at a 2AM on a Tuesday, you can head down to the late night diner and grab a bite to eat - it's only a five minute walk from campus. If you aren't hungry and don't want to drink, Mizzou has that covered with Mizzou After Dark! There's a wide range of activities at After Dark from face painting to costume contests to dance parties. Throughout the semester, they'll show recently released movies at Memorial Union or, if it's warm enough, outside on Lowry Mall. It's incredibly easy to find something to do here when you're bored; you just have to walk outside!

There are groups for just about any and everything you could think of on campus. Greek life is extremely popular at Mizzou, so I would consider fraternities and sororities to have the largest student body involvement. That being said, just because you are in a fraternity or sorority doesn't mean you cannot be involved in other groups as well. Each college within the university has their own student council organization which is a great way to get further involved in your major. Intramural sports teams are also very popular and are a great way to have fun with your friends or to meet new people.
