Looking past the frat tanks and game day dresses, much of UF’s Greek life is rooted in scholarship, community service and leadership.
In the Swamp, only Gators get out alive. That is, of course, after following a few rules to make everyone’s lives a little more enjoyable on gamedays.

Welcome, Class of 2017, to the University of Florida, to Gainesville and to the start of your college experience.
Welcome to the City of Gainesville, one of the finest college towns in the United States! We are very proud of our institutions of higher learning — also among the nation’s finest — and as Mayor I am committed to maintaining our strong partnerships with the University of Florida and Santa Fe College to offer you unique ways to enrich your experience.
BAM, I’m in the air. Establish a base, head butt, elbow to the face, elbow to the groin, shin scrape, foot stomp — I’m free.

Former Gators guard Kenny Boynton has found a new home.
When Will Muschamp accepted the position as Florida’s head coach entering the 2011 season, he inherited many considerable problems from a deteriorating program.
Night life in Gainesville is certainly not for the faint of liver.
Having a UF student ID — regardless of how hideous the picture on it from Preview is — comes with a few perks. The benefits are money-saving, time-saving and all around your ticket to making life in Gainesville just a tad easier.
Don’t be afraid of the people at the beginning of the year shoving those thick coupon booklets in your face. These people are some of your first friends you will make in college, so to speak. These are the people offering you discounts on daily needs. Why so important, you ask?
