Greek life at IU
IU has one of the largest Greek communities in the Big Ten. Greek Row on 3rd Street is the center of campus social life, particularly during rush week and football season. If you're interested in Greek life, IU's size means there are chapters across a wide spectrum of cultures and personalities.
Little 500
The Little 500 bike race is IU's signature campus event — one of the largest collegiate bike races in the US, made famous by the film *Breaking Away*. The week around Little 500 in April is one of the most active social periods on campus.
