Big Things Come in Small Packages

The Greek life at the university is small but we all participate in helping out the community and our various national philanthropy. Its not a big deal that you're greek or not. Our greek community is small but we're like on big family whether you're in a fraternity or sorority.

Campus Strictness at University of South Dakota

Fair

The policies are fair when it comes to drinking, drug use, and academic dishonesty. First-time offenders get a warning, and second- and third-time offenders can be dangerous when it comes to loosing your housing and scholarships. My best advice would be to be discreet and honest. If caught, you should be honest and humble.
