University of North Dakota Top Questions

good social activities and organizations

UND's social life is very good. There is ALWAYS something going on. Being in a sorority, we have a million things going on all the time. There is always a basketball, football, or hockey game to go to. Springfest is the best weekend of the year, no doubt.

Fighting Sioux hockey is amazing. Everyone goes crazy for it. I'm in Alpha Phi and I absolutely love it. Love it. I've met many people in the residence halls. I am usually doing nothing productive, school-wise, at 2am on a school night. We're probably up chatting and watching some program on TV. Greek life at UND is awesome and each house represents the university in a positive way. There is Night Life for students to participate in on weekends. I'm only off-campus to run to Target, etc. UND is full of traditional events - Homecoming, Springfest, etc.

Sioux Crew is the most popular group on campus.

A huge thing on our campus is our Men's Hockey team.

I like sports and I like to work out. I find exercise to be a great stress reliever. Since the new wellness center opened there are a lot more advertised opportunities to participate in intermural sports, which help you meet new people, maybe you can even get a date... Other than sports there are several different campus groups that you can be involved in. Some of them have to do with your majors and some of them are just for interest. You don't have to be in a specific major to join a specific club either, so if you are really into Archaeology, you can join the anthropology club even though you may be an English major. The biggest thing with UND is the GF community. If you aren't into sports and aren't into drinking there isn't a lot to do in the winters aside from watching TV and playing video games. I'm not going to lie, drinking is a huge part of UND, but what college isn't drinking a huge part of? UND has started holding Saturday night events that don't involve alcohol for students that don't want to drink or aren't old enough to drink. I haven't been to any, but I hear that they are really fun for everyone who goes. Again, off campus there really isn't a whole lot to do. There are a lot of bars, three movie theaters and some shopping, but that's about it. This place can be really fun, but it's all about you and what you make of it. If you aren't that social you would probably hate this place. It is fun because you and your friends make it fun.

I think that groups on campus all have there place and that they are all equally important so that students can enjoy all of their interests and meet many people. The fraternities and sororities definately have a prominent place on campus but not necessarily a bad place. These groups offer many great things to the community as well as their members.

I think at our campus the most popular groups and organizations would have to be the Greek community and the athletic programs. I'm involved with Alpha Phi. Most students leave their doors open. Certain Athletic events are more popular than others. Hockey is the main sport here. I met my closet friends through Alpha Phi. If I'm awake at 2 am on a Tuesday I'm proabably studying. People's partying behaviors vary some people go out every weekend. Some go out once or so a month. I think that fraternities and sororities are very important. Last weekend I attended the democratic convention with Obama and Clinton and attended UND's Got Talent. On a Saturday night you could go to the Union and be a part of UND's NiteLife.

The most popular are the Greek houses

Not bad, they try and do to much with non alcohol related events. It gets a little redundant. A large majority of college students to consume alcohol, and it just seems the administration refuses to accept the fact.
