Social Life
Should my son or daughter be
involved in activities?
We want our students to be involved both in and out
of the classroom. We believe students who are involved learn more. All students,
regardless of their involvement, need to have good time management skills. We
strongly encourage student involvement in extracurricular activities as early
as their first semester. There are many clubs and organizations for students to
consider. The College hosts an Activities Fair at the beginning of the fall semester
to showcase the various opportunities available to students. We suggest that
new students select one or two clubs or organizations to start. These initial
activities may be continued or dropped and replaced as a student's priorities
change.

The Student Programming Board and Student
Government are the major sponsors of performers, comedians, coffeehouses,
movies, and off-campus Saturday trips for the student body. The residence hall
staff and student organizations also provide social programs for members of the
campus community. The Underground, the College's non-alcoholic dance club, is
open most Saturday evenings. Even
further, a range of intramural sports are always happening. Every weekend there is something going on at
the College!
With choices such as day
trips to Philadelphia, theatrical productions, musical performances, author
lectures, food socials in residence halls, comedians, intramural tournaments,
board game nights, or late night hallway talk sessions, the challenge is not
finding something to do; it’s deciding what to do!
How important are fraternities and
sororities?
About 8 percent of the student body are members of one of our 9
Greek
organizations. Students who are in good academic standing and who are in at
least their second semester of their freshmen year are eligible to pledge. Greek
organizations provide students with opportunities to develop friendships
and leadership skills.
