Parents + Families Student Life

Taking part in community service opportunities, becoming a tutor, getting an internship, joining the symphony or participating in the Honors College are all ways students can engage with their peers, get experience as a member of a team and enrich their lives.

Student Organizations

The Center for Student Involvement has 100+ registered student organizations on campus for them to choose from and find a club or group that will be something they enjoy taking part in.

Associated Student Government

Associated Student Government’s sole purpose is to be the voice of the students, for the students. Being a member of ASG provides networking opportunities, creates spaces to meet with administration around campus, allows you to vote on legislation that directly impacts the students you represent, and, most of all, it will be the beginning of friendships that will last a lifetime.

Fraternity + Sorority Life

The Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL) community at Emporia State University is dedicated to encouraging students to become contributing members of the campus and Emporia community. ESU has 12 chapters.

ESU Marching Hornets

The Emporia State Marching Hornets is open to students of any major who love music and want to be a part of one of ESU’s great traditions. Your student will be able to perform at games, take part in festivals and possibly travel to bowl games and other events. Stipends are also available for students who participate.

Intramural Sports

If your student wants to compete but isn’t interested in college athletics, intramurals may be the activity for them. All students are welcome to participate in intramural sports and there are a variety of games and competitions throughout the year. Teams are made up of students, staff and faculty from all departments on campus, allowing your student to meet new people outside of their group or department.

The Bulletin

ESU’s student newspaper, The Bulletin, is another opportunity for your student to engage in campus activities. Operating since 1901, The Bulletin employs students to publish their twice-weekly newspaper and offers experience to those interested in journalism, advertising, photography and computer graphics.
