DePauw University Summary

The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.

DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana, USA, is a private, national liberal arts college with an enrollment of approximately 2,400 students. DePauw is a member of both the Great Lakes Colleges Association and the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference. Since 1996, DePauw has been a partner with the Posse Foundation, which provides full tuition scholarships to student leaders awarded by the Posse Program. World Report ranks DePauw 48th out of the national liberal arts colleges; The National Survey of Student Engagement finds that students at DePauw University enjoy significantly more academic challenges, interactions with faculty, collaborations with others and enriching educational experiences than students at peer institutions and the national average at all colleges and universities. DePauw has consistently ranked as the number one college for Greek life in the nation and of having one of America’s top college radio stations, according to the annual books on “America’s Best Colleges” published by Princeton Review. Students take only one course during the Winter Term, which is either used as a period for students to explore a subject of interest on campus or participate in off-campus domestic or international internship programs, service trips, or international trips and field studies. DePauw is consistently among the top colleges in the nation for students studying abroad. DePauw University prides itself on having a student-faculty ratio of 10:1 and not having a single class with more than 50 students. DePauw students can apply for entry to five “programs of distinction”: The Honor Scholar program is an interdisciplinary journey for talented students who want the highest level of intellectual rigor; Media Fellows benefit from DePauw’s media tradition, which may be the strongest of any liberal arts college in the country; DePauw University is among the “Top 50 Most Unwired College Campuses,” a survey of all institutions of higher learning, big and small, sponsored by Intel Corporation. DePauw is ranked #30 — the highest of any liberal arts college in America — in the report, which appears in the October 17, 2005 edition of U.S. News & “Criteria for the rankings included: number of school-owned computers available, breadth of the computer science curriculum, the sophistication of campus technology, availability of school-owned digital cameras and equipment for student use, wireless Internet access on campus, and support for handheld computing.” During 1884 Indiana Asbury College changed its name to DePauw University in honor of Washington C. DePauw University’s School of Music remains one of the oldest schools of music in the USA. There are more than 100 organizations on the DePauw campus that students can be involved in, with groups highlighting diversity, special interests, recreational intercollegiate sporting clubs, music and arts, and politics. DePauw students also participate in on-campus intramurals, university and student sponsored musical and theatrical productions, and create local chapters of national organizations such as Circle K. The student radio station (WGRE), which was ranked in 2006 as the #3 college radio station in the United States in Princeton Review’s book, “America’s Best Colleges”, campus television (D3TV), and campus newspaper (The DePauw), provide opportunities for all students — regardless of their major — to learn journalism, production and presentation and, if they choose, actually manage media outlets. Approximately 70% of DePauw students engage in community service and other volunteer activities. The “Advocate College Guide for LGBT Students” ranks the University among America’s best 100 campuses for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students. DePauw was named one of the “The 50 Best Colleges” for young women by CosmoGirl magazine in October 2006. DePauw University consists of 36 major buildings spread out over a spacious 655 acre (2.7 km²) campus that includes a 520 acre (2.06 km²) nature park, and is located approximately 45 miles to the west of Indianapolis, Indiana. DePauw University was ranked #1 in “major fraternity and sorority scene” by the Princeton Review in its 2007 guide. World Report ranked DePauw as third in the nation for highest percentage of sorority members (70 percent) and #4 for highest percentage of fraternity members (74 percent). Greek-letter organizations that formerly maintained chapters on DePauw’s campus include the fraternities Delta Kappa Epsilon and Lambda Chi Alpha, and the sororities Delta Delta Delta, also known as Tri Delta, Alpha Omicron Pi and Alpha Gamma Delta. Every year since 1890, DePauw University has competed in football against its rival Wabash College in what has become the Monon Bell Classic. Voted “Indiana’s Best College Sports Rivalry” by viewers of ESPN in 2005, DePauw University and Wabash College play each November - in the last regular season football game of the year for both teams - for the right to keep or reclaim the Monon Bell. Since 1919, the Rector Scholar Program has recognized DePauw students of exceptional scholarship and character. A historic structure located at the center of campus, East College is known to many as the architectural symbol of DePauw’s tradition of excellence and learning. The building hosted commencement exercises in June 1874, and in September 1875 all college classes were moved to the building, according to the book, DePauw Through the Years. On May 6, 1909, Sigma Delta Chi was founded by a group of DePauw University student journalists. The DePauw University School of Music, founded in 1884, is one of the oldest in America. DePauw students also organize concerts for the campus community. While not part of DePauw’s campus dining options, Marvin’s is an important part of student culture, employing students and remaining open later than most restaurants in Greencastle. Students, streaking from their respective residences, run to and from the Columbia Boulder, located in the center of the campus near the East College building. The DePauw police are usually tolerant of the tradition, but students have been ticketed when caught. Held in late April every year, DePauw’s Little 5 bike race has been a campus tradition since the first race in 1956.
