Average at Best Expect for the Parties
Being a part of a fraternity or sorority is not a necessary part of the Ohio State college experience. Many students look down on the Greek organizations for their lack of volunteer efforts, community contributions, GPA failures, and school violations. Most students join for the parties and to make friends. However, a few sororities and fraternities do get it right and put on noteworthy and popular events around Columbus and Ohio State. Ohio State does not offer on-campus or special Greek housing. The Greek houses are right off-campus. While most of the houses look like mansions with magnificent accommodations, the insides are atrocious and the floors are falling in. Overall, a student will have a social life if he or she chooses not to join the Greek community, but others will gain community opportunities, a close circle of friends, and free beer by joining.

You'll Have Some of the Best Times You'll Never Remember - Alcohol
Alcohol is by far the most visible and popular drug on and around campus. In the dorms, you are given a slap on the wrist the first couple times you are caught doing some underage drinking. While some people smoke pot, it is usually done at parties where alcohol is present as well. As long as house and frat parties are held inside or on the lawn, and not spilling onto the sidewalks or the street, cops do not bother. Some of the bars around campus have cracked down on underage drinking and have changed from 18+ to 21+, but free beer is only steps away from High Street at somebody's house.

When most people think of Ohio State the football history and tradition of excellence first comes to mind. But, the university itself is much more than a great winning football program. Ohio State boasts the most collegiate sports teams in the state of Ohio, offers award-winning academic programs, and a President with a bowtie. If there is one thing that is special about Ohio State, it's options. The Ohio State community offers numerous choices in housing, dining, and social events. They bring concerts, comedians, lecturers,and political figures to campus free for students. The social atmosphere is conducive to any type of person and the diversity of students and cultures is prominent, welcomed,and celebated.
