    The food can be really good on some days and not so good on others, it's the luck of the draw at the dining halls.

    There are many different options for food but it's easy to get drawn towards the fried and fatty food. I wish they had more healthy options besides a salad bar.

    There is limited Greek life, but if you want to get involved in that at the beginning of the year they have club fairs and you can sign up to be a part of Greek life.

    We do have Greek life but I am not a part of it so I don't know much about it. I do have a few friends that have joined and they seem to enjoy it though.

    Greek Life just started up again at Salem. There's not much to say since there is only one sorority and fraternity. They don't have housing, so it's sort of like they're just another group or club.

    I know there are fraternities and sororities on campus. They advertise by spray painting their insignia on the sidewalk all over campus. The frats and sororities are great, however they are just starting out and don't have a lot of history.

    The only Greek groups are those that are academically based. There are no Greek houses on campus to my knowledge.
