    The dining hall is roomy and full of delicious food with lots of options. With your Texan card you pay at the door and are able to eat as much as you want. There are also plenty of restaurants off campus.

    Great variety every meal time and the food is actually good!! Some days one line might have something you don't like but the great thing is there is always another option and once you swipe it's all you can eat!!! Gets crowded around noon but hey college kids got to eat!!

    Lots of sit down, homey restaurants. Perhaps too many Mexican restaurants. Plenty of fastfood joints. Overall, a lot of good options for whatever mood you may be in. There is also a free (normal rates apply of course) text messaging service that will send you near daily coupons!

    The Greeks are all over campus. They sell cookies and candies throughout the year, as well as give out free scantrons and pencils. They touch every charity organization they can get to and are super welcoming to outsiders. For those who are in a Greek organization, manage your time well.

    The fraternities and sororities do not have houses, so if you're wanting to go Greek, I would strongly suggest going elsewhere so that your meetings aren't in the math building Tuesdays at 7PM.

    There are both sororities and fraternities at Tarleton. There are some major ones and there are some smaller ones depending on your preference. There are also some based on religion and majors. Overall Greek life is a huge part of Tarleton because they help with a lot of its events and traditions and give students away to become involved and meet new people.

    I am not Greek, so I do not know much about it, but I have heard nothing but great things from those of my friends who are Greek.

    Do it. You won't regret it. There are numerous fraternity and sororities on campus. At the beginning of the year they'll have socials so you can meet all of their actives. You're bound to fall in love with one of the sororities or fraternities.
