    Alcorn State University serve a variety of fine foods which include healthy and nutritious fruits, and vegetables. Also, they have hamburgers, fries and pizza if students enjoy that type of thing. On a scale of 1 to 10, Alcorn rank about a 7 in the food category.

    The University has an awesome dining facility that meets every one's health needs and wants. There are a couple of fast food restaurants on campus as well. In the cafeteria students have a wide variety of options to choose from. The choices cater to everyone including vegetarians.

    Some days are good and some days are bad. the weekends its terrible mostly we guess because the main chef leaves then. The hours need to be changed or readjusted. Its not working according to the students, in our opinion. On terrible days most of the student body go eat off campus. Best time to eat is when special events or when the alumni comes. They will fool you at the beginning but its not terrible in the latter more. Its better here then at other colleges so we heard. The cafeteria is big but since we have a steady increase were going to need another built in a decade if the rate increases.

    The dining hall isn't the best, but you are able to get 3 square meals a day, and may return to the line as many times as you please. We also have Pizza Hut, C.J's, Patton's, and Sub Connection.

    Greek life is a very popular part of the university. The Greek Organizations on campus are extremely friendly, and they participate in a lot of community service throughout school terms. They are very good role modles to younger students.

    Is Live! A lot of Greek but they don't really do much work as far as advancement or showing leadership . There active but only to say there doing something. It seems more like an elite club but no leadership no one really stands or recognize issues that matter. Only do something if its big on News like Trayvon Martin. Most people do it for the love and some do it for popularity. However, some students see that and join to make a change and few do or remember to.

    There are many Greek organizations on campus. Too many to list all of them. There are enough Greek organizations on campus to match any similar views of students.
