: There is more to college than class Most students come to the Univer- sity of Idaho to get an education and finally reach the day of graduation. To achieve this goal, students attend class after class, cram for test after test, did research papers, lab experiments and a number of other projects required by the instructors. But, was that all there was to col- lege life? Of course not. When students were not in class or doing home work, many partici- pated in various campus activities! Many students belong to honor- ary, service, and Greek organiza- tions to fill their spare time between classes and studies with activities. Parties, dances, and other social functions as well as a chance to meet new friends were advantages of members. Greek life also plays a major role in the activities at Idaho. Events such as SAE Olympics, Phi Delta Theta Turtle Derby, Sigma Chi Derby Days, blow out parties and street dances were all activities sponsored by the greek organiza- tions that were open to all students. The organizations offered not only fun for members, but also a chance to help others through philanthro- pies. Traditional events as the Home- coming bonfire and parade, Parents Weekend activities, Greek Week and GD! week are an important part of campus activities. Intramurals offered a variety of sports in womens, mens, co-rec and campus divisions. Many living groups and resident halls formed teams to compete in football, volley- ball, baseball ... and the list goes on. The large variety of campus activi- ties provide some type of recreation for almost every Idaho student, and gave him a chance to forget about classes for an hour or two and have fun.
