    The food stinks. There are supposed to be changes coming....but that has been said since my freshman year, I'm currently a junior.

    I do like the fact that there is a Subway on campus, but like I said, I do not live on campus therefore I do not go into the dining hall for lunch or dinner, I simply go home. I have been in there on occasion though, and the food is definitely good.

    College students love food. Wingate makes sure food is always available for students. Foods such as omelets and lasagna are always something to look forward to.

    The dining service was not anything to brag about at first, but Wingate is showing a concerted effort to change that. With the acquisition of more dining options and plans to add a full food court, the dining services look promising for the future.

    It's getting better but they really lack variety and sometimes the food is just off. But they do have a lot of healthy options and the desserts are really good.

    The one and only cafeteria has the same thing every day, like feeding slop to a pig. The on-campus restaurant serves decent food, but since the cafeteria is so bad, the Klondike is always overcrowded and service suffers because of it.

    There are approximately five Greek organizations on campus. Each organization wants students to join and become a member. The organizations are very prominent on campus.

    Greek Life is a walk through a door full of opportunities to share with a brotherhood or sisterhood.

    I'm not involved in greek life, but I know a lot of people who are and they really enjoy it. I think our greeks are some of the nicest greeks ever. They sororities, at least, are not your typical snotty, rude, mean, brats. For the most part, they are all really nice, sweet girls.

    KA has 7 or 8 members. Phi Beta Sigma has 4 members. Pi Kap's have 12 members. Fraternities are a joke, the sororities have good numbers but they do not get along with one another and they are usually stuck up.
