Joining a sorority or fraternity may be an attractive option for you. Since Greek life affects many aspects of your college years, you will want to consider carefully whether to join and, if so, which group you want to pledge. You can find out how much it costs to join, what will be expected of you, and whether you are required to live in a sorority section or fraternity house. If you decide to pledge, you may do so soon after rush or at several other times during the year. Bon Appetit Meals are served in three different dining rooms located in Jewett, Lyman, and Prentiss, with an additional option of the Whitman Cafe in the Student Center.
Fraternities have their own dining services.
Students may choose from a variety of meal plan options that are designed to make meal planning nutritional, economical, and convenient. When you arrive, your room will be furnished with a bed, chest, mirror, desk, phone, chair, and draperies. You may want to bring a pillow for converting your bed to a couch, an alarm clock, personal computer, a radio, a throw rug, a hot pot, and plants, mugs, posters, paintings, and your favorite instant beverages. Smoking is not permitted in residence halls or interest houses. Decorative cloths, drapes, or tapestries can make your room feel warm and cozy.
