Campus Life

Food on campus is good, to some student. With this being such a small university, the cooks do a fantastic job at representing many different cultures in the cafeteria on a daily basis.

The Commons (the cafeteria) is surprisingly good for a college campus. They frequently switch up the menu and offer a wonderful salad bar. The CX is also very good, with a good selection of sandwiches. But don't look for a candy bar here - the only selection is in the bookstore, and those are way overpriced!

The official food service for the university isn't the greatest, but most days it's pretty good. They have a lot of variety (foreign food, salad bar, home-style food, dessert bar, grill, etc. ) and they offer a self-serve buffet at the end of each semester. Other than that we have the CX which is like pre-packaged food and some people prefer that. We also have a little Chinese restaurant on campus that is pretty good. The only downside to that is that it closes at 3pm. There is also a Subway at about a 10 minute walk and a Steak-Out across the street.

Commons at the FSC always has something to eat, even when the food on the menu doesn't seem appealing. At times it can be repetitive with what food they make, but we also have the Campus Exchange, or CX as the students call it, that always has great food and is included in what ever meal plan you choose.

The Commons Dining Hall features rich robust buttery meals to health nutty grain and fiber meals. All of these choices center students options of food items such as, deli meats, cheeses, breads, warm comfort food, vegan entrees and vegetarian entrees, ethnic foods and tastes, wellness entrees, a fun salad bar, and a yummy dessert station! The Commons is known to specialize in weekly and seasonal events to elevate students out of their mind and body and into a new frame of mind. No one needs stress and strain when they are trying to eat chicken wings. They just need some good olâ?? warmth and enjoyment! For the busy student on the go they offer handy to go containers and fancy to go silverware! Onward Ho young warrior! Not to mention the dietician on site for those who need extra weight control and/or a little extra fiber in their diet!

I do not live on campus, therefore I find it unfair to rate the food and dining.

You have a lot of dining options and the food actually has flavor, unlike high school cafeteria food.

The food could be better but this is from a view of an athlete. there is still great healthy selection just cant be tempted by the fast food like selections.

I don't have a meal plan, so I don't ever eat in the Commons, but I often eat in the CX (the Campus Exchange) and I only ever order the grilled cheese because it's hard to mess that up. But the food is still kind of hit-and-miss.

The Dining hall is nice and the food is decent. It is typical cafeteria food but there is a ride range of options for every meal. The staff that works in the dining hall is great as well.

Drury University has both local and national fraternities on campus. Greeks host about 30% of Drury's population. These communities are dedicated to giving back to the community. They provide support to one another during school year through stress and strain. These communities are invaluable to campus life and an imperative part of the academic community. Brotherhood and sisterhood unite!!! Our on campus fraternal order consists of: Kappa Alpha, Lambda Chi Alpha, Sigma Nu, and Sigma Pi. They house anywhere from 23 to 26 men on campus. Drury's fraternities are known for their excellent parties and fund raisers. Do not miss the fraternal quad. As for the campus's sororities sisterhood they consist of: Delta Delta Delta, Kappa Delta, Pi Beta Phi and Zeta Tau Alpha. These networks of woman do not have a quad on campus, rather they have campus privileges superior to other student bodies. Such as, an entire suite on campus and newly designed. They have a choice to their own roommates, this way if, they would rather live with a sorority sister then, sorority sisters may opt to live with one another and, are not delegated roommates as strangers. These sorority suites on campus include, a foyer, a very charming social gathering room for tea and cookies, and a kitchen. They express their membership with flags and banners on the exterior of their suites to show their pride. Lastly, Sorority events are typically held off campus and sustain the campus environment. The fraternities are located on Fraternity Quad and the sororities are located on Freeman Hall. Visit at your leisure or call ahead and book an appointment.

All fairly easy to join and receive a bid.

I love Greek Life at Drury. They have 4 fraternities and 4 sororities that are all wonderful. About 33% of the campus is greek. The philanthropies are strong and are supported by every greek chapter. They help each other out with their big philanthropy events which helps get campus wide support.

The Greek Life at Drury is different from the stereotypical version of college fraternities and sororities portrayed in the media. There is an opportunity for everyone who wishes to be involved in Greek Life to join and be a part of something greater than themselves.
