    Gannon has three main eating places. The Cafe, which features a buffet with home cooked meals and a salad bar at all meal times, Docs Landing, which features mexican style and sub mto meals, and Knights Cove, which has pre-made sandwiches, pizza, and a mto grill. There are also several other smaller eating places on campus that serve similar items.There are many choices and styles of food so every student is bound to find something they like.

    The cafeteria is fine, there are different options so they should have something that you would want to eat. Doc's and Knight's Cove are also places to eat that are a good change up during the week.

    The food and dining is good. The food is sometimes not the best but it is not that bad. Our meal plans are kinda messed up but other than that it is good.

    There are a few places to eat on campus, but coming from a picky eater, I'd rather eat in my room sometimes. There's always a sandwich and grill line everyday in the cafeteria that don't change, so that is a plus. Students always know those two places are there if there aren't any other options.

    The cafeteria has many options but they tend to be undesirable, however there are little places on campus that you can use your meal plan for, they have less options but the food tastes better.

    Gannon currently has five sororities and six fraternities with a seventh in the making. Greek life is fun, exciting and opens many doors for the students who chooses to go greek. I encourage every student to investigate greek life on campus, especially Phi Sigma Sigma. LITP!

    Gannon is big on greek life. Even if you are not in Greek they are still welcoming and are not the stereotypical greeks. There is a fraternity or sorority that fits almost everyone.

    About 17% of students at Gannon go greek. Every sorority and fraternity offers a different experience but they all contribute to great philanthropies and they do service work around the Erie area. Most greeks at Gannon will tell you that going greek was the greatest choice they have ever made, it gave them something to do during their free time. For some it ever stopped them from transferring to a different school. The friendships made through Greek organizations are the type of friends you have forever.

    Homecoming is one of the opportunities Greek life gets to shine and it's so much fun! I danced with Alpha Psi Omega this year in a tribute to broadway and we won in two different categories! Sororities and Fraternities alike dance and make a float for the parade. The fraternities here aren't your typical frats. I went to a Root Beer Float Keggerat the OGWC and got a free root beer float and some knowledge on alcohol safety. While these guys do know how to have fun they also have a lot of heart. This past semester APD lost a brother in a tragic accident, not only did the entire greek family feel this loss, but the whole university paid tribute to the student in different ways.

    If it's right for you, You'll know! There are wide variety of sororities and fraternities to choose from. There are no incidents of hazing and it's strictly forbidden here. They are the typical media displayed greek life either, they are friendly and all get along with each other as well as non-greeks. There are no cliques.

    I was adamantly anti-sorority upon entering college, but after having met some of the sisters and gotten to know the community, I have found my niche. Greek life is the best thing that has happened to me and has opened a world of opportunities. I am proudly a sister of Phi Sigma Sigma, and I proudly adhere to our motto AIM HIGH!
