Popular groups include CCF which is a church organization and Greek life whether its academic, social, or service. I am involved with purple pride which is the football pep group. We make signs for the football players every week to put on their lockers and decorate the locker room, we provide them with snacks, we attend all football games to cheer the team on, we do fund raising, and help with recruitment which includes giving tours and planning visit days. During the first couple weeks of school some of the students leave their doors open but with the new design of the dorms, they are seeming more and more like hotels where people don't really interact with each other by having doors open. There are lounges and common places where people are able to meet others and hang out. Athletic events are not very popular at all. There are people at events, but its not something that everyone does or everyone gets excited about. Our teams aren't D1 so its not as big of a deal as say Mizzou. As for guest speakers and theater events, I would say that the theater is alway full or atleast full. There is not a lot of "dating" at Truman. I guess dating would consist of hanging out and watching a movie, going out to dinner when the dining halls are closed, or going for a walk around campus. A lot of guys and girls meet at parties and end up going home with each other. I met my closes friends during freshman week, they all lived in my hall. If I am awake at 2am on a Tuesday I am either studying, just hanging out with the girls and talking, or at a party. Some people party a lot at truman and some people don't party at all. According to the survey results that they advertise 3/4 of the alcohol is drank by 1/4 of the students. So only 1/4 of the students are heavy drinkers. One thing I have noticed though is Truman students are very responsible about getting their homework/studying done before they party. Greek life is only important if you are a guy. If you are a girl, you can get into any party you want. Some times you may have to wait until after midnight until mixers are over and parties open up to all girls, but I have never had a problem finding or getting into a party. Guys cannot get into any party. They either have to know someone (which even sometimes doesn't work) or go to parties where they allow guys (which only happens rarely). Last weekend, I went to frat parties both Friday and Saturday nights. During the days on Saturday and Sunday i spent all day in the library. I would say thats the typical weekend for a Truman student that parties. If you don't drink, there are a couple things that you could do on a Saturday night. Many times there are comedians/bands that come, you could go out to train bridge, play games with friends, walk around campus, go to a movie, go bowling, do homework, go to a party and not drink.
