    Just like the dorm life, I have not had a chance to experience the food and dining options on the Hattiesburg campus.

    I love EAGLE DINING! So much so I chose to work as a student worker here on Campus. The food here at the University of Southern Mississippi is great! Trust me you will not be disappointed. There are many different varieties of restaurants and meal plans to choose from. The University of Southern Mississippi makes sure there is a little something for everyone.

    The food and dining service here is another one of my favorite things about my school. The food is amazing, especially breakfast. They always have many choices to choose from, including a Smart line, which I love. Staying healthy is very important.

    Cafeteria food doesn't even taste like school food, and if you don't like anything they are serving there is always pizza!

    Greek life is well known on campus. I am not involved in Greek life but I know many people who have found their 'niche' in their specific fraternity. There is a place for each person!

    We have several Greek organizations under the CPC, IFC, and NPC. They all actively work together to support each other and give back to the campus and community on a daily basis.

    Greek life is extremely important to Southern Miss. I can't speak for them too much for I am not currently involved in a sorority, however, I do plan on rushing this year because it seems very fun and fulfilling.

    Southern is very involved in Greek life! I definitely recommend! Offers plenty of help with school and rack up on hours of community service. Good organization to be in to make life long friends and to have fun as well!
