Life at EWU


This is so much more than a degree, a campus, a red field. It’s new friendships, future relationships and collaborations that will result in something spectacular.

Experience What’s Possible

Student life at EWU is about the community, and it’s different here. People smile. They give you high fives. They want to hear your story. They want you to belong.

And that’s the way we like it.

EPIC Adventures

With EWU’s outdoor program, go whitewater rafting, canoeing, fishing, backpacking, hiking, ice climbing, snowboarding or XC skiing. Training and certifications are also available.

Sorority & Fraternity Life

First things first: EWU recognizes 10 fraternities and nine sororities. We’re the only regional public university in Washington that has sororities or fraternities. Several sororities and fraternities do not have chapter houses. This means you can join a fraternity or sorority without living on “Greek row.”

Sorority & Fraternity Life involves more studying and community service than you might expect. In fact, academics and community leadership are always the primary focus of EWU’s fraternities and sororities.
