    Cafeteria food is never the best meal in the world. That does not really change no matter where you go. The cafeteria staff is kind, though. In our student union, we have Chik-Fil-A, Burger Studio, a coffee place, and a smoothie place. That is not many choices, but they are all good. I enjoy my dining selection here at Delta State.

    The cafeteria offers a variety of food everyday and even offers healthier options due to our size of athletic enrollment. The Union also offers a good variety of foods including a Burger Studio, coffee shop, smoothie shop and Chick-fil-a.

    Delta State has a Dinning Hall that has that offers a wide range of food every single night. The menu constantly changes so you won't get bored, but even if you do Delta State also has a food court located in the student Union on campus complete with a Chick-fil-lay, Burger Studio, Java City ,and Freshands

    I did not enroll in DSU for the food. The cafeteria is not the best, but there is always something there that I can eat within their working hours. The student union is where I prefer to eat but that takes away my own money and I don't like that.

    The DSU campus has a great number of choices from which to choose. The type atmosphere and eating to enjoy at all price points have been considered. Some are within walking distance and open to any and all.

    I am not Greek, but a lot of my friends are. The Greeks don't just stick to their fraternities and sororities. They are very sociable and include everyone who wants to be Greek regardless of what the person looks like or acts like.

    Greek life can be fun. I personally am not in a Greek at DSU, but I still hang out with the Greeks and part take in some of the social functions open to the community or students of DSU.

    Since I am Greek Affiliated I know a little more about Greek life than a non-Greek Student. Greeks have there hand in just about every aspect of college life. The Greeks here on campus have donated countless hours to community service and the betterment of others. Also Greeks on average have a higher GPA then non gGreeks students. Greeks also have higher graduation rates then non-Greek students
