There is a lot of drinking available at UND.

Lots of drinking, hardly anything to do but that
Frats/ soriorities are really lame (at least thats what everyone who isnt in one thinks)
Lots of open doors in dorms, lots of people wanting to get to know one another

I think the hockey team along with the football teams are both very well known and respected. I would say that about half the students in the dorms leave there doors open. I met some of my closest friends through my sorority envolement. If Im awake on a Tuesday at 2am, i would be either studying or watching tv.

This is the only downside I have noticed at UND. It seems like the students have a huge problem with underage drinking and binge drinking. And as I'm starting to learn as well other drugs.

Popular groups include service groups, international groups, political groups, and groups of students from the same major. I am involved in Alpha Phi Omega, a service fraternity that participates in volunteer projects to benefit the community. A big part of UND social life is sports, particularily hockey. If I was awake at 2am on a Tuesday, I would be studying. Partying is definitely an important social feature at UND, most people go out at least once a weekend, maybe twice. But, there are also many students that do not drink and there are plenty of other things to do. Off campus is a little limited in Grand Forks but there is always something to do.

"You get out what you put in." I put so much into being involved on campus and it is worth every hour and dume I have spent. I still feel bad though when I have to turn down the kids that I hung out with before joining my sorority. It makes me feel like a jerk because nobody is better than anybody else.

I have just involved myself in the Greek society and I regret not doing it sooner, because it's one of the most valuable experiences of my life. Not only do you meet new people, you learn to get involved in the community, and with other people. It is also such a great "first-step" into adulthood, because you must take responsibility for everything you do; because you now represent a whole house, and even a community.

I think athletics is the biggest way to get involved on campus. Being a member of Sioux Crew, being in intramurals, or just hanging out with friends at a Sioux game is a great way to be social and meet people. Dorm doors are left open and RA's are great about having events that people will want to come to. My closest friends are from my sorority. The Greeks on campus are involved with other campus activities and are typically the highest performing academic students. At 2am on Tuesday I am sleeping, otherwise doing homework-definitely not drinking. On Friday and Saturday nights you can go to the Union or Wellness Center for some university programmed fun events. On a typical weekend I hang out with friends at an apartment or off campus house.

I am involved with a sorority, Alpha Chi Omega. I enjoy it and have met a lot of people from it, not just in my sorority but in other Greek houses.
