Campus Life

Being an international student I have no complaints, but a lot of my American friends (almost all of them) say they have thousandth times better food at their homes. They don't like the food the dining halls serve them. But the Convenient Stores are a good place to spend your dining dollars. You can definitely have the food your way.

Sodexo food isn't the best, but while living in dorms, it is super convenient.

There are three halls: Ryle (the most newly renovated and the best style), Missouri (the next nicest with very acomidating large dinnign area), and last my person least favorite and oldest Cenntenial (small, cramped and least variety of food).

Sodexo could do a better job but according to people who live off campus they wish they could go back to it.

We joke about Sodexo, the food provider here, but the food honestly isn't half bad, especially considering how many people they have to feed on a daily basis. There's a nice variety of meals offered, the salad bar is always reliable, and the convenience stores--C-stores--are great when you're in a hurry.

The food is one level above prison food, and is not very good. Sometimes we have what's called Premium Night where they actually try to make good food such as steak, fish, and other good foods. Most of the time it's difficult to tell what's in a food, and most of the time the employees serving the food don't know what they're serving to you.

Sodexo is definitely made fun of for being pretty gross. The staff in the dining halls are sweet, though, and make up for the bad food most of the time. You'll learn to cook more to get away from the dining halls.

I'm not to found of the food some days it's good but other days you're better off eating cereal. I give the food a 50/50

Sodexo isn't always the greatest, but it's food.

The on-campus food is better than most colleges, but still not so great some days. However, the restaurants in and around town are wonderful!

I haven't joined one yet. Still pondering which one is good for me.

Amazing.

Rush isn't till September which is nice because by then you know if you have time for it and you are settled in.

Do it!! I'm slightly biased, but there's a great Greek life here. There are 6 social sororities, 14 social fraternities--there's a place for everyone that wants one, and it's a good way to stay busy.

I'm not a part of it, but Greek Life is pretty down-to-earth. There are social, service, and academic sororities and fraternities, and a lot of people are involved in them.

So much fun! Truman has the benefit of a group of students who don't seem to fit any stereotype. Greek life is no exception is a really wonderful way to meet and form lasting bonds with people of every possible personality, background, major, and ambitions.

Greek life is tight-knit, tradition-based community on campus. Greek Life currently constitutes about 20% of the student body and offers great opportunities to grow socially, as a leadership, and as a person. There are six sororities and fourteen fraternities to choose from.

Over 40 National/Service sorority/Fraternities

Most of my friends are in a Greek frat. and they have so much fun. I am not, but I wish I would have!! Truman students are so nice and there is a frat/sorority for every single type of person.

Greek Life is a little different at Truman; sororities don't have houses and instead each have a hall in one of the dorms. Girls are not usually required to live in these halls, though it's strongly encouraged, as there is typically space for 20-30 women (the avgerage sorority size is over 100). Both fraternities and sororities are a very diluted version of the stereotype, but focus heavily on philanthropy and being involved in other things on campus.
