Greek Life at Valparaiso University

There Is Room for Improvement in Valpo Greek Life

Valpo is the smallest school to have its own police force for an university. For this, it is dangerous for fraternities and sororities to maximize the potential of socializing on weekends. The precautions required for risk management are a headache that shouldn't be there. Sororities are not allowed to possess houses at Valpo; that's discrimination.

Campus Housing at Valparaiso University

D

A Blast from the Past

Apart from Guild/Memorial and Wehrenberg, the four other dorms are ancient. Basically, dorms are dreadful if you're not at least a sophomore and willing to spend extra money to live in an adequate dorm. Guys have the option to live in fraternity houses, which usually saves them money and provides more control over living space.

Computers at Valparaiso University

D

Outdated Operating Systems

Almost every computer at Valpo is still using Windows XP. It is really frustrating when someone tries to send an office file to a professor or colleague, because almost every student has a newer version of Microsoft Word. The speed of the computers is also lacking.
