Introduction To Fraternity Life At the University of Arizona
Participating in extracurricular activities, clubs, and university athletics is a significant part of college for most students. Those who dedicate time to activities outside of the classroom benefit from the social bonds these organizations foster.
College athletics and student organizations provide some of the best opportunities for social involvement outside the classroom. For new and returning the University of Arizona students interested in learning more about U of A sports, social organizations, and clubs on campus, check out our overview below of athletics and popular extracurriculars at the University of Arizona.
The University of Arizona is most known for its men's and women's basketball programs and football teams.
Since the mid-1980s, the men's basketball team has been one of the most successful programs in the country, having reached the NCAA Final Four in 1988, 1994, 1997, and 2001 and winning the national championship in 1997. While not as successful nationally as the men's program, the women's basketball team is very competitive in its conference. Similarly, the football program has not been as successful nationally but draws fans due to the popularity of college football across the country.
These are just three of the 19 athletics programs at the U of A.
The men's athletic programs at the University of Arizona are:
Track & Field (Indoor and Outdoor)
Women's athletic programs at U of A include:
All of the Wildcat athletic programs at the University of Arizona are sponsored by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
Yes, the University of Arizona Wildcats is a Division I athletics program through the NCAA and a participating member of the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) for college-level football.
The U of A is a member of the Pac-12 athletics conference, which it joined in 1978 along with Arizona State University in what was then the Pac-10. The later additions of the University of Colorado and the University of Utah brought the current conference to 12 schools.
The schools currently represented in the Pac-12 conference include:
The Pac-12 Conference, and presumably the athletic schedules of the University of Arizona athletic programs, are set to change in the coming years as two of the conference schools – UCLA and the University of Southern California – plan to leave the Pac-12 for the Big Ten Conference beginning in the 2024-2025 school year.
Who is the University of Arizona's biggest rival?
The University of Arizona's biggest athletic rival is the Arizona State University (ASU) Sun Devils.
Representing the two largest public universities – and only Division 1 athletic programs – in Arizona, the Wildcats and Sun Devils have a long-standing rivalry across many athletic programs. The two programs host an annual Territorial Cup Series dating back to 2009 based on a points system of wins across 21 events. Each school has won the Territorial Cup 6 times, plus a tie in the 2012-2013 school year. The 2022-2023 winner will be decided based on competitions in the spring 2022 semester.
The football program at the U of A and ASU competes in their rivalry, the Duel in the Desert, with the yearly winner taking home the Territorial Cup, whose name is attributed to the days when Arizona was still a territory. Throughout their football rivalry, the University of Arizona leads with 49 wins compared to ASU's 40 wins.
There are more than 500 student clubs and organizations at the University of Arizona.
Mostly managed by the Dean of Students Office, these organizations are divided into six categories that reflect the diversity of student social clubs and organizations at the U of A:
STEM-Focused Clubs
Athletics and Adventures
Creative Clubs
The most popular clubs at the University of Arizona are Greek life and professional development organizations.
Fraternities and sororities are very popular at the U of A, with more than 50 Greek organizations represented on campus. Check out our past posts about fraternity and sorority life for more information about these Greek organizations.
Professional organizations are the most numerous student clubs. Still, membership varies by organization since it has little cross-over among members and is specific to a student's academic interests and career goals.
On and off-campus housing brings together students of all backgrounds and interests to further foster the college experience. For students looking for an off-campus apartment close to campus that adds to their college experience, there's no better option than Aspire Tucson.
