<p>I agree with Chazsf. Emory doesn’t seem like a religious place–unless you seek it out. However, there are events held by all religious groups, and there’s always events happening in Cannon Chapel. </p>
<p>Emory certainly leans left a bit, but politically it isn’t the most active school. I would say the majority of the students are politically apathetic, though social issues are certainly important to Emory students, as the Office of Multicultural Progams and Services (OMPS) and the Office of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered do have a strong voice in the community. In general, I like to think of Emory being in Atlanta, not Georgia. ^_^</p>
<p>There’s certainly a Greek scene at Emory, but it is not the end-all-be-all. I know plenty of students involved in Greek life, and plenty who aren’t. Although it’s certainly there, the Greek presence isn’t as strong as some of our competitors (Vandy…)</p>
<p>According to a 2011 College student survey, 4 out of 5 students volunteer at least once. ([Points</a> of Pride: Community Life | Emory University | Atlanta, GA](<a href=“Facts and Figures”>Atlanta and Community)) Volunteer Emory is huge and offer volunteer trips every day of the week. There are alternative Spring break trips as well as special “service days” like Emory Cares day and MLK day where all students are encouraged to get involved. As a member of the “Citizenship” dorm freshman year, volunteering during one of those days almost seemed mandatory. ^_^</p>
