    The food is average. Sometimes some good foods are served but for the most part it is what you would expect for a college dinning center.

    It is good but very small. Students do get sick of the food, but I find it an opportunity to get more creative with what they offer.

    Washakie is pretty standard. Nothing too special about it, but it is good food.

    The Greek life is awesome here at UW I'm in Chi Omega and it helps you learn to network also gives a strong group of amazing life long friends. The community is a buy smaller then other campuses but that gives it a more intimate feel and a lot of familiar faces throughout the campus. The Greek community is also very big with our philanthropy events and it makes your time at college very rewarding!

    I went through rush but decided that I did not want to join a sorority. I didn't have the time to commit as much as I would have liked to.

    I know little about Greek Life on campus. I see many posters about social events to get to know the Greek system. From what I hear from a few friends, the houses are geared first towards academics and then to socializing.
