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.
