Students are also encouraged to talk with the Student Life staff for more information. Social life is as varied as the many clubs and organizations that sponsor events on campus. Events include performances, major rock concerts, comedians, social gatherings, and a weekend film series. There are also opportunities for students to explore the rich community that surrounds the College through outdoor adventure trips sponsored by the Outing Club and bus trips sponsored by the Student Activities Office. Students also stay busy through various volunteer opportunities sponsored by the student community service organizations and the Office of Religious Life and Volunteer Services.
Greek life is a popular choice for many students.
We have nine national fraternities, four national sororities and one local sorority. Membership in a Greek chapter offers leadership opportunities, meaningful experiences, service to others, and lifelong friendships for those who join. Rush is held during the fall semester of the sophomore year. Students of sophomore or above standing who have at least a 2.0 grade point average are eligible to participate. Pledging takes place immediately following Rush and concludes after a four-week period.
