Campus Life

There are limited places to eat on campus. Food from cox hall or DUC can get boring easily.

on campus food is average, off campus is pretty good

Cox and Zaya are okay but overpriced. The DUC gets steadily worse as the semester progresses, so make sure you save dooley dollars to use at Cox and Zaya during finals.

Dining is better than most colleges and has a variety of options, but it is still crappy college food.

Great Resaurants!

Emory has decent dining options. The main focus of the menu is focused on health and conducive to those with specific dietary needs. I enjoy the food but you will often find yourself eating off campus.

There are definitely options on campus, but if you're stuck with the freshmen meal plan and don't want to spend much cash, the options become quickly limited. The main dining hall, the DUC, is pretty decent, but it just becomes tiring after a while.

Emory does not have a wide variety of food choices. In fact, we only contain one dining hall. The food though healthy, could used improvement.

Some get tired of the food in the main dining hall, the DUC, by October. All the resources for adding some variety are there, though - you just have to take the initiative (YouTube 'Teach Me How to DUC It)! Also, freshman meal plans come with 300 or 500 Dooley Dollars that you can spend in 20+ locations around campus. Finally, Emory has a student-led food committee that modifies things; for example, this semester the dining hours changed, and they instituted a Wednesday night Premium entree that looks like a 5-star restaurant dish for a meal swipe and 7 Dooley Dollars.

Itâ??s definitely not as bad as people make it out to be, although it starts to get repetitive pretty quickly. Lilâ??s and the Ox are the only dining options on the Oxford campus, and I appreciate the chefâ??s effort to diversify the food by serving more ethnic dishes. I was at Oxford for 1 ½ years, and the food improved so much while I was there and Iâ??m sure it will get better in the years to come. Not to mention their specialty pizzas are quite good!

There is a lot of Greek life. Many sororities and fraternities on campus.

Not bad for small school, pretty obvious what frats/sororities are good. Cough cough.. Sigma Chi and trident/theta.

Greek life is pretty big at Emory. Many good social interactions follow from being involved in Greek life. Many students are not involved, but not being Greek still might make you feel left out unless you are part of some club or other organization.

A good amount of students form part of Greek Life. This is not the only way to have a social life though!

Greek Life is very available at Emory for those who want it. Those who don't are perfectly content staying away.

There's Greek life, but they're not well known or a big part of the school.

Greek life is very popular on campus; but freshmen don't rush til spring semester. Fall is just when they're introduced to the houses and learn about them.

Emory Greek life can be divided into three different categories by governing council: the Interfraternity Council/Intersorority Council (IFC/ISC), the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC), and the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC). The first of these, IFC/ISC, are what probably come to mind when you think of Greeks. While not as raucous as your stereotypical state school fraternities and sororities, you can still expect Emory's Greeks on Frat Row to be throwing down on the weekends. Most freshmen that do end up going Greek end up in one of these fraternities or sororities. However, it is important to note that as a freshman at Emory, you cannot rush your first semester in college. This stipulation reflects Emory's commitment to academics first, so if you're really interested in going Greek as a freshman, you will have to bide your time until your second semester while you are acclimating to college life in the meantime. Just to provide some statistics, Emory is roughly 1/3 Greek, meaning that while they have a significant presence on campus, certainly not everyone is in Greek life. Additionally, there is no pressure at all to join a fraternity or sorority, and they definitely aren't necessary to have a social life. The next council is the Multicultural Greek Council, which governs over, as the name says, the multicultural Greeks. This is the smallest of the three councils at Emory, and only presides over one fraternity (Xi Kappa) and two sororities (Delta Phi Lambda and Delta Phi Omega). These organizations typically do not party like the IFC/ISC ones do. Having a particular goal for campus, they devote their efforts to cultural awareness events that promote a specific aspect of the culture they represent. The last council is the National Pan-Hellenic Council, which governs over the traditionally African American fraternities and sororities. These organizations are steeped in tradition and are likely the most difficult to join. Emory has influences from nearly all NPHC fraternities and sororities with the exception of only a couple. Emory's Greek life is largely representative of its student population, but it is by no means a requirement to party or have a social life.

The Greek life at Emory is not very big, and it is very opened to people here and it is not as exclusive as people believe. You do not have to be in Greek life in order to talk to be friends with people who are, and it is not pushed greatly at the school.

I personally won't join any Greek clubs, but they do appear to be quite involved and numerous, so anyone may join.
