Campus Life

Currently the dining sucks, but we are actually getting a new dining service next fall (2013)! So, everyone is SUPER excited about this and hopefully it will be a lot better than our current dining company, which shouldn't be too difficult. Also, one of our dining halls is currently being renovated so it will be really nice when it's done.

Apparently this is changing this year. The students also had a say in the dining services they wanted to bring in.

Amazing with alot of choices.

The food could be healthier.

There is always a wide variety of food to choose from in case you don't like what is in the main line.

Food and dining is pretty average, but they're changing dining services next year, so fingers crossed for something excellent.

Something to note is that Denison is changing their food supply company from Sodexco, who has worked with the school for forty years. The food isn't bad, just repetitive. There are always salad bars, fruit, and sandwich stations available throughout the day. Pizza and pasta is normally offered with lunch and dinner. There is usually one entree that is always vegetarian, as well as a gluten-free dessert area for those who need it, but the selection is limited.

If you enjoy being on a meal plan, the selection could not be better. All around campus there are numerous options and good ones at that. However, if you choose to cook for yourself, there are no options to save the money you are forced to spend on a meal plan.

A variety of options, but about half way through the semester you'll have to get creative. Go to the deli section and make your own quesadilla. Definitely go to the stir fry section!

Not exceptional or horrible. Average.

Greek life is very prominent on campus. It's the biggest organization on campus and if you are a very social person planning to take part in the party scene you almost have to be involved with greek life. That being said, our frats and sororities are not completely stereotypical. There is a huge mix of people that belong to each one so you can easily find the right place for you.

Sometimes it may seem like the whole campus is part of greek life but less than 30% of our campus is Greek. So if you like it or it's something you want to try, don't be afraid to join. But if it's not for you, don't bother..there are plenty of other student not doing it also!

Many clubs.

Greek life is practiced on campus but it is not obnoxious. It is very inclusive and is not overwhelming or even very prevalent to those that aren't involved.

Greek life is non-residential at Denison, which makes it a lot less clique-y. People in Greek life are often friends with non-Greeks. Rush is also in the spring, giving you time to decide if you're interested in joining and if so, which fraternities/sororities you like.

Barely existent. Greek life is mainly active for the sake of parties rather than actual group involvement.

Greek life exists at Denison and it has a presence mostly through its philanthropies.

While Denison does have several sororities and fraternities, its Greek life isn't typical of most campuses. Sororities and fraternities are not housed separately on campus, although participation in each group is fairly standard (chapter once a week, dues, service projects, etc.).

Greek life is prevalent on campus but is not the majority. Around a third of the students are involved in greek life. None of the fraternities or sororities live in their houses. The houses are used for chapter meetings and other get togethers. There are both Panhellenic and Multicultural sororities and fraternities on campus.

Greek life is a large and fairly prominent minority on campus. However, Greeks do not dominate the social scene.
