    The food could use some improvement as the university serves the same food everyday just on different days. While the campus staff are trying to fix this problem the food remains a little tasteless and bland at times. I know the campus and cafeteria staff are mainly concerned about the students with diabetes and other illnesses, but as far as variety there really isn't any unless you go to the local mexican resturant down the street from the campus.

    The food that is served at TAMUK is good! It is just like having a buffet at Golden Corral or some sort. You've got a variety to choose from including vegetarian food.

    If you do not exercise, be prepared to gain some weight, because the dinning serve nothing but fried foods. Most students are fat.

    I am not in Greek life, but they are a major factor in being involved. They do welcome week as where they welcome the freshmen and they perform shows and dance. Well established.

    We have it. I don't know too much because I'm not in one myself. However, I have friends who are in frats and sororities. They really enjoy them, and there are tons of activities like Greek Games to look forward to.
