UNH has a Greek life is a great experience that involves many students. All students who get involved with Greek life instantly get involved with campus actives and community service. These are always events and other things going on at the MUB.

The dorms are a very friendly place to live. People definitely leave their doors open all the time, and surprisingly it's very easy to make friends, even with 10,000 undergraduate students. Im part of a sorority here at UNH and my decision to join was one of the best decisions i've ever made in my life.

The most popular teams on campus are definitely the football team and the hockey team. Greek Life is also very popular in which a lot of students are involved in. I am actually a part of Greek Life as a sister of Chi Omega. When I lived in the dorms, I noticed that most of the students left their doors open. Athletic events, especially football and hockey games, are very popular here. Many times hockey games will sell out. Guest speakers are very popular as well. I met my closest friends through my sorority, as well as through living in the freshman dorms last year. If i'm awake on Tuesday at 2am, it's because I'm studying/cramming for an exam the next day. Traditions that happen each year are things like Homecoming, Light Up Durham, and different things like that. A lot of students party a lot here. But there are also a lot of students who are focused on their schoolwork who do not party as often. I feel that fraternitites and soroities are very important on campus because they strive to set a good example for the rest of the campus about community service and all around well being. Last saturday i spent the day at Barnes and Nobles studying then went to the movies with a friend and Sunday I worked at Libby's Bar and Grill. There are tons of things to do that doesn't involve drinking. Students can take the bus and go to the mall, movies, or see a movie here at the MUB. There are often bands playing or different shows going on at the MUB. Also, depending on the season there are different sporting events going on. Off campus I go into Portsmouth, go to the mall and movies, go food shopping, and things like that.

I would say the most popular groups on campus is the greek life and sports. I am involved in greek life and we attend most of the events the school puts on for students. We try to get involved as much as possible in our campus. I met my closest friends by proximity and location and through my sorority. It was the best experience for me because ive met friends who are friends with me for the right reasons and not because we are in the same situation as being new to the school. Being in a sorority helped me develop who I was as a person.

I am involed in the sorority chi omega on campus and is the most amazing experience I have ever had. The support system I get from my friends in the sorority is amazing and I truly cherish all the times we have had together. I love participating in our philanthropy events and other greeks events. There is always something to do and you also have a bunch of people to study with

I am part of chi omega. i feel sororities and fraternities are very important to this cmapus, it is a good way to meet people and get involved on campus. Since joining i have gone to so many events that i wouldnt normally go to, and i have enjoyed them all. I found when i was living in the dorms that no one had there doors open besides the first few weeks of the semsester. THe athletic events and the concerts are very poplular, there have been times the tickets have sold out before i could get one. I feel that people only really party thursday, friday and saterday.

Erica

i am involved in Chi Omega sorority. I think it was one of my best decisions so far in college. It really networks me to a variety of different opportunities. We do service, philanthropy, community involvement, social things, intramurals, connect to job opportunities and a variety of other things. I think people party moderately. I personally have fun on the weekends but also maint a 3.3 GPA. I am in a tough major and manage to balance fun, school work, and my sorority. Many Saturdays I go to the movies, babysit or just hang out with friends.
