    The cafeteria food is very greasy. Even the healthy options (i.e. noodles or sandwiches) are greasy. The dugout and Tommy's offer good food, but the lines are ridiculously long during any normal meal time.

    Wesleyan offers a large variety of options that cater to every student. There are 5 places to eat- Saga (main cafeteria), the Dugout (a walk through pick-your-own-food), the coffee shop (serves Starbucks coffee and snacks), Tommy's (a sit down restaurant feel area), and Hattie's (a coffee shop and snack place similar to the coffee shop). All places cater to vegetarians and vegans. Saga has a different menu of food on certain stations every single day. The food is just cafeteria food, but the variety keeps you eating new food!

    SAGA is good compared to many small DIII schools cafeterias but it is still nothing like home. It is hit or miss on a daily basis although there are some constant good things to eat.

    There are three main locations for campus provided dining. Sodexo Hall is the typical college cafeteria with numerous options from Oriental to American style nourishment, choices for any specified needs such as lactose free or vegetarian are made available. Tommy's is similar to what would be considered a campus grill. Finally, The Dugout is well known for the delicious sub-sandwiches and on-the-go items to be enjoyed during a quick study break or snack before a game of ultimate frisbee on the quad. There are also two coffee shops stocked with Seattle's Best and Starbucks beverages for the many caffeine cravers found at IWU.

    Many options to choose from and every option is delicious. The food is easy accessible because every dining room that the campus has is spread out on campus.

    The food is of decent quality, easily a six out of ten. However, there are only about three places to eat at which becomes boring quickly. The other problem is that after ten, no place is open.

    The food provided in the commons area is pretty good, and they have a large buffet-style selection. There are also quite a few options around town, if you're interested.

    The campus is 33% Greek, which opens up an array of networks for students, and allows students to maintain bonds of friendship that last a lifetime.

    There are 5 Fraternity's and 4 Sororities. I think about a third of the student body is involved with Greek Life.

    More than 30% of the students on campus are in Greek Life. However the people involved in a sorority or frat are not just limited to that group of people. Everyone, whether in a frat or not, interacts with one another and people that to Greek are not seen as better or worse than anyone else.

    There are a number of Greek houses. I recently joined one and so far I am enjoying the other members.

    A majority of the student body participates in Greek Life. They have many activities to participate in. But it is not a big deal if one does not participate in Greek life.

    Greek Life dominates the social life at Wesleyan, generally throwing all the parties. Joining is a great opportunity to meet friends and upperclassman who can help you out by guiding you through the ins and outs of the school. You'll learn leadership skills since the fraternities and sororities are run completely by the members themselves. I'm a member of the TKE chapter there, and it's easily one of the best decisions of my life.

    Way better than stereotypes would tell you! The people in Greek life tend to have better grades, better connections, and better opportunities after graduation. Even if you don't plan on joining, go through rush--you'll make friends that will last throughout your 4 years regardless of whether or not you end up as a greek!
