    The food at the cafeteria, otherwise know as the BRC, is not that grand. they do not offer substitutes for those who have allergens to foods. the diet they veer towards are hamburgers, deep fried steaks, and pastas.

    Food is more expensive than it should be in the cafeteria, but there is a lot to choose from. There are also a couple of subways on campus, a chic filet and other restaurants close by.

    There is a great potential for the Greek life at BSU because the Greek life is just starting to grow, so a student can become a founding member of an Greek organization still which is a great accomplishment.

    I was a person that always turned my nose up at Greek life until I researched what it was like at Boise State. The Greek Life at BSU is much smaller than it is at other schools across the nation but it still offers the same benefits. The Greek system operates as one big community/family. We hold ourselves to the same standards if not higher as other schools. Joining a fraternity or sorority is a great way to get involved, form life-long bonds and friendships, and build networks for the future.

    Greek life isn't large at all, but it's growing. When it comes to sororities, we're an Alpha campus, so all of them begin with Alpha. (Alpha Chi, Alpha Zi, Alpha Gama, ect.) They are much more community service based than the typical Greek life you see at large colleges.

    Greek life is something that is just starting to take off at Boise State. As a result, there are many opportunities to get involved. I am not personally involved in Greek life, but those friends I know involved have enjoyed it and are happy they made the decision to pledge, whether it was a social or service fraternity/sorority.

    Greek is weak. There is only a few frats that have houses and no sorority houses that I know of. Some of my friends pledged anyways and they seem to like it but they don't do much as chapters.
