Campus Life: Activities, Greek Life,
Intramurals, Recreation and Fitness
Staten Island Campus Life is not limited to new students. We
hope that students will continue to be involved in campus
activities throughout their college career. Our Campus Life
activities ensure that there is never a dull moment on campus! This
year, we added a campus Movie, Fitness, and NYC Theatre Broadway
Show Series - Broadway plays are offered at discount.
Greek Life is
also a large presence on the Staten Island campus. The University
believes involvement in fraternities and sororities is one of many
ways to enhance the quality of life for students by providing a
range of opportunities for meaningful individual and group
involvement, development, and growth. The St. John's Staten Island
community offers a variety of fraternities and sororities from
which you may choose. They are committed to educating members and
potential members about academic values, community service,
leadership, brother and sisterhood, interfraternalism, personal
integrity and social development. Greek recruitment is at the
beginning of each semester. Staten Island’s Greek Community hosts a
fun0filled week of competition during Greek Week held late in the
spring semester. Greek-affiliated students also have the
opportunity to apply for membership in the Order of Omega, a
National Greek Honor Society.
Campus Life also offers many large-scale traditions. These
include the Activities fair, Welcome and End of the Year BBQs,
Spirit Night, Family Day, Winter Carnival, and Awards Nights. These
events serve to bond students, faculty, administration, and
staff.
There are over 40 student clubs/organizations on the
Staten Island campus. Students choose from clubs that support
academics, service, culture, performing arts, politics, honor
societies, media/student publications, Religion, Greek life, and
other special interests.
If you were involved in high school athletics, don’t put away
your equipment yet. Staten Island is committed to supporting the University’s Division One
athletic teams in addition to our own campus’s Intramural
Sports. Tickets to sporting events hosted on the Queens campus and
Madison Square Garden are often made available. Students can also
participate in a variety of intramural activities including
volleyball, football, basketball, and softball.
The Fitness
Center is open seven days a week to all students throughout the
academic year. It is equipped with state-of-the-art-equipment and
offers a wide-range of fitness classes during the week including
pilates, kick-boxing, yoga, and body conditioning. All classes are
free.
Free shuttle buses connect
students to the Queens campus, to points of interest on Staten
Island and to the celebrated Staten Island Ferry. A free, 20-minute
ride across New York Bay brings students to exciting lower
Manhattan.
