    They have definitely improved since my first year. There is more variety of food. Fried Chicken Wednesday's is always delicious. In lower manley we have a starbucks, sushi restaurant and jamba juice.

    The Spelman cafeteria has been getting better as time goes along. They still have some meals that are less than appealing but they also a lot of other good meals. They currently have a stir fry, pasta, and fab 500 line which changes meals each day as well as the main line. They are now in the process of renovating the lower portion of the building which will include a subway, sushi bar, and smoothie shop. The food and dining is ok but I know in the upcoming future it will better.

    The food is served buffet style, and who doesn't like buffet style?! We also have themed days for food, so it never gets boring.

    Once again 5 star but there is always something good to eat. Pizza, sandwich bar, salad bar, the Fab 500 which feature healthy meals or the main line which is mostly hit or miss.

    Greek Life is Greek Life and very secretive especially if you're on the outside. Spelman, being the number 1 HBCU has all Historically Black Greek organizations.

    Greek life is very big on campus and in the AUC. They are always seen and they step at many school functioned events. During probates the whole school is involved and it is a very big deal.

    The Greek life here is entirely sacred. Honestly, the Greek life is always very live and present on campus. Every day, every corner, every event Spelmans Greeks are always representing their organization well. We have Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Gamma Sigma Sigma, Tau Beta Sigma National Honorary Sorority, Zeta Phi Beta, and Sigma Gamma Rho sororities on campus.

    Greek life is very competitive on campus and along with the traditional Divine Nine sororities, there are other national sororities offered on campus.

    Never say what you want to join out loud. You always just keep it to yourself and trusted friends in a secluded area...yeah it's that serious. But the Greek Life appears fun, you cannot join until sophomore year.
