There are so many student groups on campus that it is nearly impossible to list them all. Among our largest is our Student Governing Association (SGA) which really deals a lot with campus politics and raising awareness for any university issues. They encourage playing an active role in the campus' policies.
Our Student Program Board's (SPB) sole purpose is to provide fun activities for the student body. They have done everything from screening huge blockbuster films on campus to hosting our Frontier Fiesta, the enormous campus carnival!
Athletic events are incredibly popular, especially now that our football team is nationally ranked! We have huge turn outs to our games and the tail gaiting atmosphere is very active and exciting! For this field, the university has huge organizations called "Coog Crew" and "Bleacher Creatures," which offer front seats at athletic events and an enthusiastic crowd!
If you choose to live on campus, and I highly recommend that you do, you will find UH to be an even friendlier place. On-campus living gives you the chance to interact with so many people! Sharing a common space naturally opens you up to other people and more experiences! It helps that the dorms are comfortable, safe, and inviting!
In addition, UH thrives on its traditions! As previously mentioned, our Frontier Fiesta is huge deal on campus since it gives student organizations a chance to present themselves to the entire student body. You can find real amusement park rides, such as a ferris wheel, there to attractions like mechanical bull riding, Texas Hold'em poker, and carnival games. At the start of every semester, UH hosts what is called "The Cat's Back" which is basically one large pep rally! The best part about "The Cat's Back" is the free food and merchandise like t-shirts! Did I mention the free food!?
If you are more of an intellectual, we have events for you too! Our theater and musical schools are absolutely amazing and put on operas, plays, exhibitions, and concerts frequently! Famous guest speakers from all over the world are constantly invited to lecture on our campus! It seems like every week a famous writer, singer, politician, etc is on our campus. In fact, Vincente Fox, the former President of Mexico, made a presentation this past semester.
We really do have everything for everyone and whatever your definition of "fun" is, UH has it!
