    The caddo, which is our cafeteria is okay. However, they are in the process of getting a new caddo built and it should be ready in fall 2013. We also have a quiznos. They are planning to replace quiznos with Subway.

    Good if you like the same thing every day. I suggest investing in a 10 meal plan and eating in your room most days. Yet they do have good stuff atleast twice a week. A new cafeteria is being built so may the food will be better. They also take suggestion and listen to them so hey who knows

    The main places for dining on campus are: Caddo Cafeteria, also known as The Caddo, Reddie Cafe, and Quizno's. The Caddo isn't that bad, but it can be a little repetitive if you ask me. Not much of a choice where to eat when you're a broke college student lol.

    The food is just like home cooked meals. They have so many things to choose from and they make new things all the time.

    I haven't ever eaten in the cafeteria at school but I have heard some pretty bad things about it. such as one time they ruined frozen waffles I don't know how that is even possible but they managed to... I have eaten in the student cafe and the Quiznos on campus and they are excellent but a bit pricey. Also there are plenty of restaurants near the school so if you don't like any of the food on campus there are other options available.

    I'm not in a sorority, but I've been to all the activities that they provide. It seems to be very exciting and fun experience.

    Greek life is energized on HSU's campus. From the Greek shows to service projects to simply intermingling, the Greek Life is busy and worth a beings time.

    Greek unity is very important here at HSU. Whether you are a member of NPHC or IFC. I am a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc, the first African American sorority of the Divine 9. We exemplify service to our community and campus,
