    The food here isn't all that bad. The cafe is usually packed on Thursday's because it's fried chicken Thursday. They have their good days and their bad days.

    Since Americus is a small town, there are limited food places around. There are several fast-foods around in town that are not far from campus, just a few blocks away, and there is a cafeteria, dining cafe, a coffee house, and a mini-mart on campus so no one will starve.

    Some of the food here is pretty good. Students will definitely love Canes Den and Java City. Most students spend most of their time in those places.

    The food in the cafeteria is ok. They have many options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Theres a place called the canes den that sales wings, pizza, Chinese and other things. There is also a place called java city that sales like muffins and things like that. They also serve coffee and smoothie in java city as well.

    The food is considered good, not great. I have eaten there a few times and it was good every time. Some students say it is much better on orientation day and bad the other days while some say the opposite. If you have a meal plan be used to the same thing quite often.

    Here we have 6 female sororities and 5 male fraternities. Everyone that I know in the Greek Life are very nice and if you feel like you want to be apart of it, then they will guide you through the process with joy.

    Our Greeks are the best in the state! Brotherhood and sisterhood really mean something to our community. There is a place for everyone!

    There is a very present Greek life on this campus. Both nphc and phc. There also seems to be plenty of Greek unity, which is always good:)

    I am not part of Greek Life, but I do know that they are great at serving the community around GSW, such as less privileged children.

    There a few Greek organizations on campus, such as Zeta Tau Alpha and Delta Sigma Theta, but non-Greek organizations seem to be more involved.
