    If you have a meal plan you may find the food gets boring after awhile but for the most part its good and free so take advantage.

    Being away from home you are either going to gain or lose weight. Whatever the case, there is food to benefit each.

    Since I am a freshman at Florida A&M Univerisity, I am not very knowledgeable of all the Greek fraternities and sororities on campus. From what I have observed, there are very friendly and proud people, perform their traditons at events around campus and allow others to join almost every semester.

    Greek life is active and hazing free. There is no tolerance of hazing on or off of campus. And any reports or suspicions of hazing will be investigated immediately and be reprimanded accordingly. FAMU wants all students to be responsible and safe on or off campus.

    Greek life is restricted to freshmans and limited as well similar to clubs and activities. Contrary to the belief greeks are very prevelant on the campus and well and active. The greek life is one of commitment dedication and a life long bond amongst the students.
