Social Life

The College has established twelve organizations known collectively as The Greeks. These student-led groups are actively involved in providing social and service opportunities for the student body as well as organizing teams for the intramural sports program. Students have opportunity to join one of the organizations during Greek Rush held at the beginning of their first semester.

Along with the activities sponsored by The Greeks, the College provides other opportunities for the student body. During the opening week of school, the College sponsors get-acquainted activities such as golf, and a boat cruise. At Christmas, the College family participates in a school-wide banquet. Class organizations and clubs sponsor member and all-college activities throughout the year. Graduating seniors are honored by a banquet sponsored by the junior class.

In addition to The Greeks, the following clubs and academic-related organizations enhance learning or provide social interaction:

• Alpha Chi (Honor Society)
• Business Club
• Drama Club
• Fellowship of Preministerial Students
• Music Club
• Political Club
• Science Club
• Student Missionary Fellowship

One of the purposes of student groups is to provide the opportunity for the development of leadership. Planning and overseeing social, academic, spiritual, and sports activities give concrete experience in working with people and leading groups.

In addition to the opportunities afforded through the above mentioned, the Student Senate provides additional avenues for leadership development. The Student Senate is comprised of the presidents and vice presidents of the twelve Greek organizations. This group meets regularly and is responsible for the oversight of the Greek intramural sports programs and community service projects.

Students are also given opportunity to participate on a variety of faculty/administrative committees. These include the Food Service, Honor Court, Student Court, Library, Social, Student Affairs, and Teacher Education Program Assessment committees. Student leaders selected by the faculty, staff, and the student body take part in Student Government. The Student Government works with the whole college family to make the College a more effective institution.
