While academic achievement leading to graduation is the reason for attending Arkansas Tech University, the experiences that students have outside the classroom prove to have a lifelong impact. Experiences offered through Campus Life enhance maturity, leadership, time management, friendship, career development, civic engagement along with many other essential life skills.
Specifically Campus Life consists of the following offices; Campus Recreation, Greek Life, Student Activities & Orientation and Student Life.
Campus Recreation
The mission of Campus Recreations is to provide participation in a variety of sport,
fitness and recreational events that help stimulate student learning and personal
development while enhancing the quality of life for Arkansas Tech University students.
Campus Recreation achieves this mission by providing opportunities for a diversified
population to recreate, exercise and socialize through a variety of programs within
Intramural Sports, Fitness, Outdoor Recreation and various Special Events.
Greek Life
Through an emphasis on academic excellence, active participation in community service
and philanthropic activities, ongoing leadership development and positive interaction
between all fraternities and sororities, the Office of Greek Life helps promote fraternities
and sororities as an integral and productive part of the University community. The
Office of Greek Life is responsible for advising the governing councils (IFC, CPC,
and NPHC) for the registered social Greek organizations and Greek auxiliary groups
such as Order of Omega Leadership Honor Society and Greek Programming Board.
Student Activities
Fully engaging students in their college experience requires not only quality academic
experiences; it also requires a diverse offering activities and programs that meet
the social and personal needs of students. Student Activities meet these needs by
