Getting Involved: The Fun of Intramural Activities

When people think about campus life, they often picture classes, homework, and late-night study sessions. But some of the best college memories are made outside the classroom—especially through intramural activities.

Intramurals are the perfect balance between staying active and having fun. They’re designed for everyone, whether you’re a former varsity athlete looking for some competition or someone just trying to meet new people. The best part? You don’t have to be an all-star to join—you just need to show up.

Why Join Intramurals?

• Stay Active: With classes, jobs, and social commitments, it’s easy to lose track of fitness. Intramurals keep you moving without feeling like a chore.

• Meet New People: Teams often bring together students from different majors and backgrounds. It’s one of the easiest ways to expand your circle.

• Stress Relief: A game of volleyball or basketball can be the perfect way to let off steam after a tough exam.

• Low Commitment, High Fun: Unlike varsity sports, intramurals are flexible. You can play once a week, join a team with friends, or even sign up solo and get placed on a roster.

What’s Offered?

Most campuses have a wide variety of sports and activities. Think basketball and volleyball—but also fun, unexpected options like dodgeball, kickball, or even esports. We will see what we have this year. There’s truly something for everyone.

The Bigger Picture

Intramural activities aren’t just about games. They’re about building community, creating memories, and keeping a healthy balance in college life. Whether you win or lose, you walk away with new friends and good stories.

So next time you see that sign-up sheet or email announcement, don’t overthink it—get a group together (or sign-up solo!) and give intramurals a shot. Who knows? Your best college moments might come from the field, not the classroom.
