    Being in greek life at FSU, I rarely ate at the dining halls. However, there did not seem to be a very diverse menu and the food was just average.

    The food is mediocre because some of the food they serve out is old. The taste of the food is bland. Also, sometimes the food is not cooked all the way, so some people would get food poisoning.

    The food is absolutely amazing. The kinds of food are categorized to make deciding easy. They may be serving Pizza and Pasta in one line, Taco's, Chicken Fajitas in another, or Burgers and Fries and much more.

    The food is awesome. They have vegan/vegetarian options every day for every meal. Sometimes they have themed food days which is really fun. There are always about 7 different meals choices available at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, along with snacks and other food that are available.

    The food is like any other college food if you have a meal plan. It is okay, but not great. There are decent restaurants throughout Tallahassee if you know where to look.

    Two major dining halls, one athletic dining hall, a huge food court and four starbucks� ensure that you will never go hungry at Florida State. The food court contains a Papa Johns, Salad Creations, Subway, Pollo Tropical and many more. There are many other eateries and snack shops on campus, making it easy to get food whenever you�re hungry on campus.

    This is a guaranteed. Florida State University has some of the most disciplined but fun Fraternities and Sororities. Rushing is just as exciting and widely attended as the name denotes as thousands of students attend the event every semester.

    Greek life is very known. The MGC and NPHC are probably not thought of right ahead but they do exist!! Greek life can help you if you stay focused or hurt you if you get too caught up partying and planning events.

    There are over 100 sororities at Florida State just choose the best one for you! They represent years of tradition and are a great way to make friends if you know absolutely no one. They are fun and an awesome way of giving a kick to your social life.

    Greek life represents well under 20% of the population though they seem to dominate the campus. 80% of on campus organizations are led by greeks.
